Having glazed 1,000 square feet of the textured main floor walls, tone-on-tone, I recommended the home owner have me plaster the recessed area above the stairwell to the 2nd floor with a Sulphur Spring tinted American Clay Plaster. The result while hard to see here made the niche area look like a chamois cloth, a perfect complement to the glazed walls below and a terrific backdrop for the large art piece hung in this recess.

Very small Spanish style home, newly built for a bachelor who lived on a boat. Architecturally correct for the Santa Barbara location, with thick plaster walls and terra-cotta floors. Plaster fireplace with built in seating, for this tiny living room. Small kitchen features handscraped cabinets with limestone counters and natural edges. Bathroom has glass block separating the shower from the vanity, which actually looks amazing with the spanish tile and wrought iron work. A small wine and wine glass niche built into the plaster for this single guy's guests. Home is under 1000 sq ft, built by Maraya's husband, for his best friend. (sailing buddies).

The goal for these clients was to build a new home with a transitional design that was large enough for their children and grandchildren to visit, but small enough to age in place comfortably with a budget they could afford on their retirement income. They wanted an open floor plan, with plenty of wall space for art and strong connections between indoor and outdoor spaces to maintain the original garden feeling of the lot. A unique combination of cultures is reflected in the home – the husband is from Haiti and the wife from Switzerland. The resulting traditional design aesthetic is an eclectic blend of Caribbean and Old World flair. Jim Barsch Photography

Knowing that grandkids come to visit, we added a movable dining table for the crafters, bakers, and future chefs. With an optional leaf insert, the table can be moved away from the island to create a dining space for the whole family.
