Paint job: based on the Rudolph Steiner method.

To give the narrow kitchen a more spacious feel, Matuschka elected to have all cabinets and storage start from the waist down and to utilize sunken storage space. Whenever possible, furniture, closets, or items were sunk directly into the wall.

To the right is a view of dining room from the kitchen after two walls were removed.

Back wall is stucco.
