You know you're living in Seattle  when you have your own  Coffee Bar at your house.  :-) When you live in an old house with a small and  very outdated kitchen,  you kind of have to get creative with the space you do have!  This space kind of evolved over time...I just keep changing  and adding to it.

The last place we lived, my craft room was the guest room so there was a  queen size bed in the
