Inside, in addition to the aforementioned bed and bath array, is a kitchen with several noteworthy design flourishes: a low bookcase (my own cookbooks hide in a cabinet above the stove, which is no place for things made of paper), a plumbed center island, a hideaway dishwasher and a warming drawer.
