    That kitchen has quite a collection. One really does have to enlarge it to take it all in. Really cool.
    The computers are amazing.

    Wow! I had to get my husband in here to look at thaose "vintage" computers! He's an electrical engineer & should be able to build one for me, don't you think? (He did not seem so inclined...)

    The kitchen is fabulous!
