I had an empty room in my house for many years.. loved it. Easy to clean and I loved sitting on the floor just thinking. It is now a guest room, which I needed and use, but I sure miss my empty room!

I also think you can make the adjustment to electric, you just do. I do find from my experience that the glass tops are hard to clean, I really hate them. I also feel more confidant banging my pots around on a coil top stove!

Love it! The only thing I would add is a comfy chair in a corner to read cookbooks and enjoy a coffee break, otherwise its pretty close to perfect!

A dark stain would be nice or not.. but I would not use a sealer. A few years ago I refinished a dresser and used paste wax for a finish. I apply a new coat every year (with a lamb wool buffer attachment for my drill) and I love they way the finish has worn over the years. It enhances the integrity of the wood and has a lovely soft finish...

As suggested above couple of cans of appliance paint to change the color of the dryer to white...
That may help a bit... but far better to have these appliances than not!

No it does not encourage me to eat.... but my kitchen is so much cleaner than before I had a TV in the kitchen. I tend to spend more time cleaning while watching an episode of hoarders!

In fairness the picture maybe straight but it does not necessarily read that way in a photograph... but some matting around some of the pictures would have given some "breathing room" around the art work.. The sconces are a bit lost on the wall also...

Lucky me I don't have a problem fall asleep but when my Mom wakes up and can't get back to sleep she wakes up my Dad and he tells her to go back to sleep and she does!

Just saw the Queen of Versailles the other night... so do mean staggering in a good way or a bad way? The interiors for all the money were uncared for, unkept or unfinished. It really was one of the most depressing films I have ever seen and I have seen almost all of Ingmar Bergman's films!
