A spectacular Spanish-style house as interpreted by two talented designers yet with similar results.

 

Spectacular Spanish. Two words that get my attention.  Spanish-style houses are my favorite. Dallas is home to some beautiful Spanish varieties – one in particular.

Chairish featured the work of Palmer Weiss recently. I recognized one of the projects right away by its distinctive living room ceiling and sunroom cement floor. This house is on a favorite street in my home town. Read about it here. Dallas designer Cathy Kincaid updated the house not too long ago. Verandah magazine featured the lavish project. Artisan finishes, wonderful antiques and textiles combined beautifully throughout the interior . Surprisingly the house changed hands shortly afterwards. A California designer took her turn next.

Images below feature the work from both designers. Ms. Kincaid’s are shown first with Ms. Weiss’ below. The design was not changed drastically.

The dining room was a blue and white lover’s dream.

The Portuguese-style tiles are no longer. Hopefully they went to a good home. Also, gone are the carved doors closing off the room.

Both designers chose light shades of blue for the living room.

The two living rooms have basically the same seating arrangements with similarly styled furnishings. Both rooms are very tonal with Ms. Kincaid’s room having a little bit more variety in color and pattern. The dark mirror in Ms. Weiss’s room relates to the Spanish architecture. The airiness and height of the palm is a nice addition yet I can’t help but think of a design professor who derided placing a plant in a corner.

They developed  similar furniture plans.

A similar sectional paired with two chairs. The plant must have been left with the house.

Cathy Kincaid chose a tonal color palette in most instances throughout the house.

By contrast, Palmer Weiss used a variety of colors.

Certain special details remained.

These antique Portuguese tiles were kept around the fireplace. The tiles are likely from Solar Antique Tiles.

Similar Master bedroom designs.

A serene palette set a soothing tone.

Ms. Weiss’ bedroom likewise featured a white four poster bed. Alternatively, she chose a punchier palette.

Driving by this house over the weekend, I was stunned to see that the adjacent lot had been purchased. A large addition is currently under construction.
