The little details are what I like most. For example, I had a router bit and a shaper bit ground to match the base and shoe molding profiles so that I could recreate damaged sections of molding out of mahogany. The sunburst cabinet knobs are a fun touch as well. My wife fell in love with the Smeg toaster and kettle in pistachio green. The bar stools took a trip to Palm Springs to find! Lots of nods to the 1960s everywhere you look.
