This Spanish-style home vibrates with original character. The homeowner/interior designer was drawn to the 20-foot-high wooden ceilings and original Saltillo tile flooring, and sought to keep the soul of the original space while adding European-inspired updates. The result is low-key charm, comfort and family-friendly livability.
