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 Kitchen




Here's what the kitchen looked like when we purchased the house. Before we even moved in we completely removed all of the tile, counters and floor. Whoever had installed this tile had done a very poor job. We also cut a hole in the wall that separated the kitchen from what is now the dining room. The kitchen was once a sad, dark little room that felt like an "afterthought". Oh yeah, we also got rid of the vertical blinds on the window. The small photo is how the kitchen looks now. We thought long and hard about whether or not to keep the original cabinets. We have finally decided to replace them with new, more functional cabinets that are appropriate in style for the age of the house. A separate blog will be created about this project.

  1. It would be great to see more photos of the new kitchen. Did you keep the Murphy kitchen? If not, what did you do with it?
