Kitchen

The house has two full kitchens, one on each floor. The downstairs kitchen—the one for “the riffraff,” jokes John—is reached through an original pointed arch and features blue and white concrete tiles from Granada Tile and bright white cabinetry. A selection from John’s extensive collection of glass purses is on display above the open shelving. “I love Murano glass and came across these inexpensive purses on eBay and Etsy, so I just started collecting them,” he explains. “Mitchell had the idea to mount them on the wall and make them into planters.”
