Beach Home Remodeling

Hamptons in La Jolla

A funky 1950s beach shack gains star quality with a redo modeled after the sophisticated Hamptons beach house in the movie Something's Gotta Give. The home remodeling of this ocean-view house in La Jolla, California, which started with the modest intention of slapping on some paint and replacing a few windows and doors, quickly became eponymous with the movie: Something, indeed, had to give. Walls came tumbling down in the back of the house and new, taller ones soared up. A new contemporary-style Dutch door brings in ocean breezes without sacrificing privacy in the original living room.
