Alrighty, gotta make this quick... here is a picture of one of our hallways. The entrance on the right leads to the living room. The entrance on the left leads to the back (door) hallway (the one with the fungus...). The bathroom and shower would be on the left of the person taking the picture. The beautious shelf you see was built by my hubby - isn't he the greatest???
If you go around a corner in the hallway, (I am telling you - this house is just plain laid out weird!!!!) you come to the guest bedroom. We think it is quite cute and welcoming... but don't take our word for it - come and see for yourself!!!!
'A' has a few of her things in here. She graciously took the pictures for me. This was our bed when we first moved in, but we took off the top of the frame because we don't use a mosquito net. They honestly aren't that bad here in our house. We moved the bed into the guest bedroom when we bought another one from some missionaries who were leaving. It is more comfortable than ours, but smaller.
This is our 'spare spare' room - as we like to call it. We have only had one person stay here once. Usually, it houses ironing and any miscellaneous stuff that we don't know what to do with or that we need to store. I cleaned it in prep for our guests, so unfortunately, Ben's study received the brunt of the stuff I needed to move out. More on that in another post...
We bought all of this furniture that you see in here from the missionaries who were leaving. It was a real blessing both to us and to them. We also bought my desk and our other living room/dining room furniture from them.
I had to showcase this air vent in the ceiling - this was where Benjamin slipped and fell while trying to mark the roof leaks. He almost came crashing all the way through. He may have broken his ribs, but we never got it checked out. They wouldn't and couldn't do anything anyway. At the very least, he bruised them very badly. It was about 4-5 months before he could lift heavy stuff without feeling it. It was also about 2 months before he stopped wincing if I surprised him with a hug... oops! We are thankful it wasn't any worse. And, yes, this is on our 'to do' list - fix the ceiling!
Hope you are enjoying the tour of our house!!!!
Oh dear, to the hole in the ceiling! oops!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of the various rooms....looks like a fairly comfortable space and I'm glad you found nice furniture to fill it.
Love you guys and hope you have a great week!
Awww...glad that your Hubby wasn't hurt any worse. We had one of those foot holes in the ceiling for the longest time :0) Your rooms look nice and homey!
