House Tour (Part III) – Tour de la casa (Episodio III)
This is our bonus space. There is not much to show because it is not a very big area, but it a big selling point when we bought our house. There is a walk-up attic that the former owners finished. At the top of the stairs is a TV room. Our basement is a very unfinished storage area, with a low ceiling that would make it hard to make livable. Therefore, we are extremely happy to have a nice place to watch TV, without having the television in the main living space of the house.
Este espacio fue un bono para nosotros cuando compramos la casa. No hay much que mostrar porque es un area pequeña, pero es una de las razones más grandes que escogimos esta casa. Hay un ático que se puede acceder por una escalera. Los dueños anteriores remodelaron para que fueran dos cuartos que se pueden usar. Se entra en un cuarto bastante grande para ver televisión. Nos gusta tener dónde podemos ver tele sin tener la máquina en una zona pricipal de la casa.
This is the TV room looking the other direction. That doorway leads to another bedroom. I am dreaming of a swinging bookshelf that would disguise the entry. It will most likely never happen, but a girl can dream, no?
Aquí se puede ver el otro lado delcuarto. La puerta conduce a otro dormitorio. Mi sueño es poner un estante oscilante enfrente de la puerta para ocultarla. Lo más seguro es que jamás pasara, pero puedo mantener la ilusión, ¿no?
Here is the bedroom. I love the light fixture in here, but there is not much else at the moment. We are currently trying to figure out how to get a queen-sized bed up here. It is a bonus to be able to offer a space for a couple more people to sleep. We sometimes have a houseful.
Este es el dormitorio. Me encanta la lámpara, pero por ahora no hay más nada en el cuarto. Estamos intentando resolver cómo subir una cama matrimonial. Es un bono poder tener otro espacio dónde la gente puede dormir, porque a veces tenemos muchos huéspedes.
So, that is the third floor. Come back next week to see the backyard.
Es todo lo que hay del segundo piso. Vuelve la semana que viene para un tour del jardín de atrás.
Happy Homemaking!
¡Espero que todos tus sueños caseros se cumplan!
I am a teacher, traveler, artist, writer, homemaker and a whole lot more. In January 2009, I bought the Cape of Dreams. It was the second house that I had ever owned, but it was the first that I bought by myself. I now live in the house with my husband Douglas, our dog Kahlua, and Crème de Menthe, the cat. Because, what life is complete without a little Kahlua and Cream? I love arts and crafts of all kinds, and I refinish furniture as well. We are slowly redoing our entire house. You can read about my projects on my blog www.CapeofDreams.com
That is a lot of house! Congratulations.
Your boys are bound to have a wonderful childhood there, so many places to explore and play in.
We bought an eco friendly, natural rubber, king-sized mattress that came in slices (not unlike cheese) in 3 separate boxes, that we assembled and zippered up into a cover. The slices were bendy so manuverable around corners and such. The name of the company is plushbeds.
How nice to have that bonus space, especially with kids! Tuft & Needle makes a great mattress that’s compressed into a box that will fit up your stairs.
what a great bonus space!!! love it. can’t wait to see the yard. Our foam King mattress came rolled up tight inside a thick plastic bag. heavy, but easy to get up stairs and around corners.
