Ok, I just read that first comment...oops, try that one!

My husband works from home, and so do I. He frequently goes to a coffee shop with his other co-worker who works from home who lives in the area, and that's definitely their "second" place. They get a lot of stuff done. I work at home so I can be with my 21 month old, so I don't really get a second place :/

That is so cute! I'm so not creative...that food area is just adorable!

My parents have a tree, and we always had to pick them before the birds ate them. When we would pick them, we'd just eat them, or my dad just puts them in a jar and covers them with whiskey. The funny story in our family is when my now husband met my family for the first time, and he pretty much got drunk off of cherries haha

I love the trunk! I have two in my back yard that have just been weathering outside, I'm totally putting them on my porch. I like the feel of the space, a lot.

We have a Jambox and love it! Our guests are always impressed by it too when we're out on the patio.

Removing the shutters and window box would help a lot, and what about a round white globe pendent at the entrance? If you don't like the roofline draw the eye towards the entrance and add landscaping. I think you can make it work without major construction because the bones of it looks mid-century to me. I think you may have to be purposeful with the color and what ever color you paint around the window. Getting a bigger window as some have suggested will be really expensive, too.

I really like the banquette. The whole kitchen is simple and lovely.

We just did a half bath, and hired someone to do it. It took forever! He did do things that we probably wouldn't have know about like replacing the subflooring (it was built in 1874). We kept the toilet, but changed the toilet seat and handle. We also bought an Ikea sink and I LOVE it! With the money we saved on the toilet and sink we bought a light fixture from Schoolhouse Electric, which I had been oogling for a while.

Hm, when I read the title was thinking, "How is this going to look good?"...it does! I have a Malm dresser from Ikea that I could do this to. It also doesn't have handles, but needs a little pick-me-up. Thanks!
