Simon kept coming back to that image as she remodeled her 1908 house's kitchen, a process that involved restoring the original floors (despite contractors who said it couldn't be done), trolling Craigslist, and scouring salvage yards up and down the West Coast, a 10-month labor of love that led her to declare, "If I ever move, this kitchen is coming with me."
