WHAT WE RAN INTO
The owners wanted the kitchen to still read as 1920s Spanish, not a modern insert. We kept the arched doorway, used handmade-look tile and picked hardware to match the era, while everything behind the walls went brand new.
THE RESULT
A kitchen that looks original to the bungalow with none of its original pipe or wire.
