2. The magic of Spanish colonialism in the 1920s
Kitchen at a glance
Who lives here: A woman and her dog
location: Kensington, California
measuring: 252 sq ft (23 sq m)
designer: Anne Norton And interior design studio
BEFORE: This 1920s Spanish Colonial house in Kensington, California, has a long history, including being the residence of J. Robert Oppenheimer during his time in University of California, Berkeley. But the home’s unconventional kitchen, characterized by post-beam architecture, a flat, low wood-paneled ceiling with a dark stain, dark flooring, dark-stained Douglas fir cabinets, and numerous windows and skylights, did not share this history. It was added to the back of the house in the 1970s.
Although the layout was good, the kitchen lacked storage space. The homeowner, who loves to cook, found designer Anne Norton on Houzz to help her create a kitchen that flows with the rest of the home’s historic architecture and will include upgraded cabinetry and a kitchen table around which friends and family, especially her grandchildren, can gather.
