Sam Hughes Remodel

This complete, to-the-studs renovation of a home originally built in 1920, and added onto over the decades, brings a fresh interior perspective to a home with distinctive Spanish Colonial Revival character. A tiled roof, white stucco walls, arched openings and mature landscaping establish its street presence. Within that setting, the finished rooms combine familiar architectural details with spaces suited to contemporary daily life.

The kitchen features light cabinetry, wood accents, a substantial island and a patterned tile backsplash. Adjoining living and dining areas offer several places to gather, from a bright sitting room with built-in shelving to a more intimate family room beneath dark ceiling beams. Fireplaces, decorative lighting and arched doors give each space its own identity while maintaining a shared sense of warmth.

Bathrooms continue the interplay of traditional character and updated finishes through patterned tile, generous vanities and carefully chosen fixtures. Throughout the home, individual details—including a bronze saguaro relief and a painted mural of Sonoran Desert plants—reinforce its connection to Tucson.

Outside, a sheltered porch overlooks a courtyard lawn, while flagstone paths, mature trees and flowering plants create a quieter garden setting around the house.
