Kitchen in the Shore Line Drive condo in Alameda with light wood cabinets and a large island

A just-purchased winter home, refreshed within a set budget

Neil S. and his wife had just purchased this Alameda condo as their winter home. The brief was to refresh the home and maximize its small kitchen, and to redo the bathrooms, all within a set budget.

The work ran about three months, from late June to late October 2026. The kitchen was the main focus, with a new master bathroom and powder room, about 600 sq ft of new hardwood flooring, and work through the rest of the condo.
