Want a kitchen like the one in The Simpsons? Marcia Andreychuk has one…(Picture: CBC News)
You may think you’re a big fan of the Simpsons – but this Canadian couple have taken their fondness for the show to the next level.
So much so, that they’ve actually remodelled their own kitchen to look exactly like the one on the show.
Yup, you heard correctly. An actual working kitchen that bears more than a passing resemblance to the place where Marge has rustled up so many family dinners over the past 26 seasons of the animated show.
And they’ve managed to get every detail spot-on, right down to the corn cob curtains:

The kitchen was the brainchild of Calgary couple Marcia Andreychuk and Joel Hamilton, who recently revealed to Canadian channel CBC News just how they went about creating it.
‘My significant other and I wanted to do a ‘retrovation’,’ Marcia explained, ‘and one day we just had this bizarre idea to take what we already have and turn it in to the Simpsons kitchen?’
Which, as she pointed out, involved ‘adding colour’ and other touches to the existing set-up – including covering worktops, cupboard doors and other surfaces in ‘contact paper’ to make them appear like those on the show.
They’ve even managed to replicate Marge’s green cooker and other appliances:

This is a risk-free project for the most part because it’s not like we’re ripping the kitchen apart and putting a ton of money into it,’ Marcia explained – adding that they are now saving to buy actual ‘retro-inspired’ green appliances for their home.

Marcia has since jokingly suggested that they may turn their basement in to a replica of Moe’s Tavern.
Even if they do, they’ll still have some way to go to match an entire Simpsons-style house which actually existed some 17 years ago.
That particular house was originally build as part of a competition run by Fox and Pepsi, allowing a Simpsons fan the chance to actually move in to an exact replica of 742 Evergreen Terrace.

However the eventual winner, a retired factory worker from Kentucky, opted to take a cash prize of $75,000 instead – leading to the house having its Simpsons paraphernalia removed and being sold in 2001.
