Shadel House: Kitchen Reno

Exterior Before
Shadel House: before picture (after pictures of exterior to come)

We finally finished the interior renovation of our 16th street rental house.  We call it the Shadel House because that's what is stamped in the concrete under the front gate. It is a Craftsman Bungalow and was built in 1914.  Our new renter is already planning on throwing it a 100th birthday party in two years!


Front Walk

This house is my favorite, and I think it turned out so cute.  Of course I took a bajillion pictures, so I am going to start with one of the rooms that saw the biggest change (though frankly, the whole house looks entirely different!)

Before:

Kitchen Before
I thought the original cabinets were cute and originally wanted to try and save them, but not only were they not making the kitchen function well, they had been sorely compromised when a previous owner hacked a hole in them to add the dishwasher.  Also, the cabinet doors were all missing.


During:

Kitchen Demo
All walls were opened up to accommodate new electrical and relocate the plumbing. Lovely lathe and plaster disaster! We found some fun artifacts though: a 1937 cream separator in the original box, 1950's entire newspapers, a few dozen tupperware lids, a very old yard stick. . .
