She also added blue and white cement tile patterns in the kitchen, which
were created by simply cutting some of the tiles in half to create the geometric, asymmetrical patterns. A similar style is featured on the hand-painted
archway leading into the space.
The white marble countertops, which used to be low-cost, builder-grade
granite, complement the kitchen's blue and white color scheme.
"The marble also has a pretty vein to it," said the designer. "It's light and
subtle but still creates a little bit of movement."
The previous recessed incandescent lighting was replaced with all LEDs,
which are also set into the glass-door cabinets for additional brightness.The
appliances were updated, save the homeowners'Viking stove, and the original travertine floor was also kept in place since it was still in great condition.
COLOR SCHEME INSPIRATION
According to the Espinet, the wife likes the blue
and white combination of her mother country
Spain's talavera-style ceramics, which was the basis
for the color palette. Talavera is a type of ceramic
pottery that dates back to the 16th century; it has
historic roots in Mexico but has become popular
in Spain and Morocco as well.
"The ocean in the Los Cabos area is a more
marine blue versus the teals seen in the Caribbean," said the designer. "So we started by simply
looking out the window and borrowing the color
from Mother Nature. It's hard to compete with
her, she kind of has the best color palette."
Her selection of only two colors was a conscious choice for the size of the kitchen because
many shades would have looked too busy and
overpowered this smaller space. The color combination is also not as likely to go out of style,
as Espinet explained that blue and white are
classic hues.
"The beauty of starting with a neutral like white
is that everything goes with it,"she said."So in the
case that the homeowners want to change or add
more colors, it will be pretty easy."
RIGHT On the living room ceiling,
just outside the archway, are two
of the dark wooden beams that
used to dominate the space.
Those are the only two beams
left after updating the whole
space for a more modern look.
The archway was handpainted by local custom
painter, Leo Navarrete.
