We are building a creative, utilitarian life inside an old Victorian( built in 1898) in the historical "Ghosttown" district of Oakland, CA. This blog chronicles our experiences renovating this magnificent antique home and how we learn new ways to build, plant, create and explore our creativity. We'll share our tips and insights with you on how we rehabilitate, remake and refinish this old house so it will last another 100 years in style.

Clunky Cabinet phase 1
This clunky cabinet is getting a makeover. George sawed off part of it to make a microwave shelf. This is phase 1. With the cleared counter space, we set up a little wine station. (Now the wine rack is no longer on the top of the refrigerator.)
Phase 2 which is in progress now, consists of sawing off even more of the 'strange shape 1940's kitchen cabinet'. It will be more flush with the rest of the cabinets and no longer an obstacle to bang into.
I think phase 3 might be scraping off all the paint and resurfacing all the cabinets. We'll see.
