After catching my hand on fire trying to light the furnace in The Continental Crawler in South Dakota on a cold mountain pass last summer, I decided to install a safer, modern heater. This left a large opening in the wall by the door that has been the subject of many a campfire discussion on what might best fit in the old space. A "hot" topic, if you will.
I voted for a built-in bar, Jen thought a book rack would be nice addition - one idea that would be great also would be a '50's era tuner with speakers (some inspiration on that concept, here). Whatever we decide, I'll be sure to find the instructions to build it in the Handyman's Book, put out by Meredith Publishing back in 1957.
After all, you never do get used that smell of burning hair...

as I recall, you are much better at taking things apart.
