The Bedrooms

There are three bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom is so pink that it visually assaults the eyes. We’d really like to re-wallpaper this room before me move in. The current wallpaper is halfway between old lady and bordello. The next largest bedroom has white walls and brown carpet. I know what you’re thinking, “finally a neutral tone”. Eventually this will be a guest bedroom. Until then we’ll use it as a visual shelter to hide from the pink everywhere else. The third and smallest bedroom has white walls and blue carpet. For now, this will be a computer room and a place for our countless books. Three bedrooms, one giant bathroom and a hallway; well that’s about it for the second floor. Time to head to the basement.

The Bathroom

Ok, now on to the second floor and first up, the bathroom. Each of the four corners of the room houses one feature. There’s a make-up table, the bowl, a gigantic triangle-shaped tub and the shower stall. There is no picture of the make-up table as I would have had to stand in the tub to snap it.

The oddball feature is the glass window between the shower stall and the tub. You can see it in the third picture, there is a blue flower pot placed on the window sill. I understand that aesthetically it makes the shower space less claustrophobic, but I’m not sure I want to have a bather watching me shower. It’s all very odd. The giant tub has a whirlpool but no one knows where the access panel is to the motor. I’m hoping that the 80-year-old frame house can support that tub, all it’s water and me without collapsing on itself like the house from Poltergeist.
