This 3,000-square-foot Texas ranch serves as a weekend home for a professional couple and their son. It’s in Kerrville, Texas—offering peaceful respite about two hours outside of Austin. The Hill Country town features picturesque greenbelts, cypress trees, and limestone bluffs dotting the landscape.

This particular property began as a modest 1980s home, but damage from a major ice storm resulted in the property being stripped down to the studs. Enter Blair Burton Interiors, who along with architect Michael Stolle, totally reimagined the home. 

“Inspiration for the new design was opening up spaces to create a better flow for the family and connection to the outdoors by adding a screened porch,” Blair tells us. “Stylistically, we leaned into Mediterranean-style.”

The first and most defining decision made in the renovation was the roof. Instead of defaulting to metal or concrete tile for ease and budget, the homeowners committed early to a reclaimed Ludowici terracotta clay tile roof, which is about four times more expensive but offers unmatched character and texture.  

Furthering the Mediterranean aesthetic, Blair used plaster walls, white oak cabinetry, white oak paneling, and interesting ceiling details. They also added arches and soft curves throughout, enhancing the sense of architectural softness and visual harmony.  

The owners wanted a “non-kitcheny kitchen,” which Blair brought to life through a luxurious yet understated, lounge-like atmosphere. Throughout, they prioritized timeless finishes and materials that felt elevated but not precious—nothing could be too formal, ensuring the space remained both dog- and kid-friendly.

It was a two-year project, and the “Mediterranean Modern Hacienda” is well loved by the owners.
