Watch as we slowly, oh so slowly, turn this unloved and neglected historic, mid-century gem from "Oh honey, you're just gonna have to gut it!" into a fabulous, comfortable, totally cool space to love. We're doing all of the work ourselves on a shoestring budget. The work takes time since we work all week but we're dedicated to the project.

The Cool "Murphy Kitchen"


One of the things we really loved about the house when we first saw it was the little "Murphy Kitchen" that is located in the spare bedroom in the north end of the addition. We assume that this room was built to be a mother-in-law suite since it includes many built in drawers in the bathroom, a built in dressing table, two closets, and the little kitchen unit in another closet. The unit includes a stove top and oven, refrigerator, sink, and cabinets. Everything but the refrigerator is in working order. This room has become my husband's computer-building space so the closet containing the little kitchen is blocked by computer parts now. You can see the bathroom in the background. The handles on the cabinets are in two pieces and when the cabinets are closed they form a circle. We really lilke this. We haven't done anything to this room to change it other than to add a desk, shelving, and work counters.
