Houzz Tour: A contemporary and colorful style of Spanish Ranch Home Shaw - Coates and her husband, John, liked to live in their home in San Diego. Shaw, in particular, liked small spaces, having lived in apartments in Paris. But when the couple - she is a marketing director; it is a hardware engineer for Qualcomm -unexpectedly learned that Shaw was pregnant, they went into overdrive to find a more habitable space to raise their family. The idea of a nursery on the ground level and their main room all the way up was far from ideal.
Rancho Santa Fe, a suburb north of San Diego with a mood country, near the town and the beach, a culture of horse and incredible schools seemed the best fit. But the traditional style of the houses concerned Shaw, who was hoping for something more modern. A house late 1970s and clean lines quickly caught his attention, though, offering the opportunity to bring a bit of flair to midcentury vintage classic design. John was less enthusiastic. The Spanish style ranch house has not been lived for two and a half years; there were leaks and falling apart. A huge overhaul was in order.
Shaw defended the high ceilings, open floor plan and a unique view of the valley as a good base full potential, eventually winning over John. Greenline Construction, more designers landscape Kendra Berger of Revive Landscape Design and Steven Letz Letz design intervened to achieve the vision.

the Coates family was very cost-conscious during the overhaul. One of the few splurges was patching walls to make them smoother. Shaw added the Vanilla Milkshake Benjamin Moore paint for the walls, ceiling and fireplace.
you looking for a statement piece that would complement the Spanish style, Shaw added an outdoor lamp Restoration Hardware lounge. black and green accents are updated within mainly gray and white. She chose the color scheme because she wanted something serene and relaxing for busy family; and green working with the outside plants.

the Coates family uses this space, t echnically a fourth bedroom, as a home office and library. They mainly use laptops at work, which means no unsightly cords dangle, and they put the desktop into the "power position, said Shaw. Four libraries of Room & Board fit perfectly on the back wall, giving the appearance of closets. A hidden storage unit has a video surveillance system.

Named Gold room, this guesthouse is splashed with color. A wardrobe already spanned the back wall, but Shaw had cut in two. "I would not welcome to stay as long as they needed all that space wardrobe anyway, she said.

Among the questions: how high to hang the curtains? Shaw decided to suspend them from the ceiling outside the area to match those covering an opposite window.
The height throughout the house was a big selling point. I always feel like high ceilings are less oppressive, Shaw said. "So that was on our wish list when house hunting, of course.

There was water damage in the bathroom, so the Coates' took this as an opportunity to bring down unnecessary walls and interior doors to open space. They added vintage subway tile and a generous sunken tub.

laundry was in the garage. Shaw converted a storage room and bought the smallest closets she could find. She then used a slab of granite remnants to create a counter to hide in soaps and disposable clothing.

to help the mixture outside in the environment, she had redone smooth stucco for a more natural color.

so much work was necessary on the outside, Shaw notes. By far, the heavy white lace stucco caused the house to get him out.

the family did not want a huge lawn as the previous owners had and many of their neighbors. The family added decomposed granite and succulents, including cacti barrel and gold flame blue agave.
The low-maintenance, water-minimum approach was successful. "I interviewed landscapers and basically told them that I did not do anything, Shaw said.
