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 Dining Room


Here is a view of our dining room. We had originally set this room up as the living room. We didn't like that set up because there is a set of steps between the other room and the kitchen and that made it awkward to pass food, dishes, etc. to the dining room. We painted the cabinets in the background but we have discovered that there are so many layers of paint on them now that they don't close properly. We have plans to strip them down to the bare wood, which is actually quite lovely. Two of these cabinets are pull-down desk tops with cute little drawers and shelves inside. The hardware is worn and one hinge is broken. Another project for another time!!!
