Joan Steffend visits the home of a man who was charmed into buying his 1905 bungalow. To enhance the existing character, he knocked out a wall between the living room and an adjoining bedroom to create a formal dining room. He capitalized on the original 1930 mint green and black tile in the bathroom by painting over the walls in a glossy black.
