Spanish Revival Addition and Remodel
This charming 1926 house had a typical Spanish Revival layout with formal areas in the front and the more private/bedroom areas closed off to the rear. Since kitchens play such an important role in any home these days, the wall dividing the kitchen and dining room was replaced with a large arched opening, thereby incorporating the kitchen into the overall living space. The kitchen area was further expanded by integrating the old breakfast nook into the space. And to tie together the newly reconfigured rooms, the island designed as a piece of furniture, using the same material and detailing as the antique dining room sideboard the client had acquired in Paris decades ago.
The laundry room was moved closer to the bedrooms, and all bathrooms were remodeled using tiles in historic colors and patterns harkening back to the 1920s era. Only 250 square feet was added to the house, but by rearranging the existing spaces, two separate bedroom suites were created - with an access to the backyard from the master bedroom. A third bedroom doubles as a quiet sitting room.
The elegant hallway built-in shelf is reminiscent of the old telephone niches of yesteryear. The mahogany cabinet with Hispano-Moresque tiles on the counter gives the impression of this being an original feature of the house.
