LAST POST ON THE HOUSE (FOR SALE)--DOWNSTAIRS TOUR

I showed you the outside,

the first floor and the upstairs.

Today we are down on the lower level.

As you go down the steps

you see the two little

'hidey holes' where the faieries leave

TREATS FOR THE KIDS.

Older kids on the high one

Little kids on the low one.

(they ring the faierie bell outside the house

before they come in).

At the bottom of the steps

you see a small sitting room off the

master bedroom.

There is indirect lighting in the ceiling.

There is a fireplace in this room also.

That is Georgia Chunk Marble.

You either love it or hate it.

Hubby loves it.

Here you are level with the bay and patio.

Our bedroom is right behind the sitting room.

This is what you see walking in the door.

If you look REAL CLOSE you will see a

BASEBALL BAT

by MyHero's side of the bed

snuggled up to his night stand.

It must be for me because we have a 

security system in place that would

scare the devil away.

Looking back towards the door.

Master bath...

His side....

Toilet room is to the left with a pocket door.

My side...

Hahaha-scale is not included-

It is set at 125 pounds

so I always feel good about myself.

Jetted spa Kohler tub.

Right outside this bathroom

is a rescued claw foot tub 

with hot and cold running water.

This has seen lots of bubble baths 

for kids over the years.

Going down the hall to the right of the bedroom-

The laundry room is on the right-

There is a stained glass piece built in 

between this and the extra bathroom.

At night there is a light that shines on it

to act as a night light for the bathroom.

Yep!  Still got my old Maytags

that work like a charm.

They are going on 20 years old!!!

Only one small repair over the years.

These are bead board cabinets.

To the right of this room is the bathroom

to use if you are outside and

coming in from the bay to take a shower.

You can see the stained glass window on the left.

John's office is at the end of the hall

and for some reason I don't have a picture of that

in my file here.

Sorry--another time...

It is nautical decor.

There is also a full service kitchen 

to serve the movie room.

This was the main kitchen in the old house.

When we rehabbed the house

we just moved the kitchen downstairs

and added new cabinets.

They are beadboard which is hard

to tell in this picture.

Storage room to the left which is

NOT PRETTY-

To the right is the media/movie room.

When you are standing in this room 

you are at eye level with the bay.

This is a sound proof room

with porcelain drywall.

There is a raised stage at the end

that has hosted many 'plays',

and song fests.

The screen comes down behind the curtains.

Facing the other way you will see a

built in serving station with a granite top.

There is a popcorn machine down here

that sits on top of my dad's old oak icebox

that he set up housekeeping with when he was young.

There are more bits and pieces but 

you have seen the highlights.

I am headed to my daughter's house for a few days

and then on to PA for a class reunion 

and to see my dear, wonderful cousins

that I love dearly.

I have told MyHero to 

PLEASE STAY OFF THE TRACTOR

while I am gone.

Last year he drove my son's tractor 

into the bay

and it can't be fixed.....

You might remember this...

BIG GUY

BIG TRACTOR

Last week he thought he might repeat

the fun with MY John Deere!

Skinnier guy...

Littler tractor.....

Hey!  At least he was smart enough

to get off before he rode it all

the way in.

I'd say he is improving!
