Eclectic Spanish Kitchen

March 6, 2012 by Allison 2 Comments

Spanish kitchen - spanish style kitchen with mosaic floor - oldhouseonline via AtticmagBuilt to reflect a passion for the Mediterranean, a Spanish kitchen reigns as a timeless beauty.

The desire for an intimate “old” home led a Southern California couple to downsize. Yet they still needed room for their large family to gather. Merle and Ron Mardigian partnered with Liza Kerrigan to design a Spanish kitchen addition for their new Spanish-style house.  The room was enlarged and the roof raised to create a dramatic groin-vaulted ceiling.  Cherry base cabinets were made a few inches taller and deeper, and toe-kick drawers were included to make up for the lack of upper cabinetry.

Its folds are a gentle touch over the six-burner Viking range. Plaster walls are finished in a tea-stained linen color for instant age and to blend the kitchen addition seamlessly with the rest of the 1920s home.

The kitchen side of the wall houses cookbooks and part of the homeowner’s exotic cooking utensil collection assembled on their travels. A pair of hand carved antique doors from Arte de Mexico create more hidden storage.

The company’s Positano line of flooring etches patterns into sandblasted, hand-cut limestone pavers.  Those are then colored and coated with a sealer for protection.  The tiles have the handmade quality of individually laid mosaic floors without the normal maintenance worries. In Merle’s kitchen, an antique table adds more rustic flair and overhead lighting couldn’t be more simple. The far corner of the kitchen features an adobe fireplace where the couple displays some of their African art collection on the mantel.  A skylight over the bench makes it a perfect spot to visit with the owner, who is not only an interior designer but a gourmet cook.

    Really incredible details in this one! I don’t know what I love more – the graceful lines of the hood or that stunning floor! Thanks for sharing.

    Funny… From the 1st pic, my response is that it’s a rich and gorgeous kitchen I could love, but the last pic, where the bare plaster and austere lighting stand out, I feel almost the opposite. Like 2 personalities shown in the 2 views, that I’m guessing mesh beautifully with each other and the other well-considered elements when you can take in the whole room. I wish I could see the hood better. Intriguing idea!

    The floor!!!!! I can’t even communicate how much I love it and think the process is so cool. I WANT ONE.

    I really like the hidden pantries and the builtin book and display shelves. I always respect and admire those who try to maintain the integrity of the style and age of their houses.
