Our House Part 3

Scary old basement! Not pretty & full of spiders but big & part of the house!


Already scary huh! LOL Oh and behind the red curtain is built in shelving! But again with the red!


On the way down Abraham is there to greet you!!







First little cubbie! Suitcases, racks of beer, & random Christmas decor that hasn't found a spot yet!




First door on the right is the"man room"! With built in work benches & stuff. Or our garage! We have a garage but all of our garage stuff has ended up in the basement! Easier access I guess!


The Pantry


Another room! Our American fridge.





Laundry Room










And another room!







The view back down the hall to the stairs!


There you have it!

A little history about our house is that it is old! It was built by the owners when they were first married. The upstairs was originally built as a separate apartment that they rented out to another family. Our living room was a bedroom & our office was a bedroom & the winter garden was an addition. I am not entirely sure of the layout of the upstairs, however, I do know that our bedroom was the kitchen! After they had children the family upstairs moved out & the house was converted to a single family home. Last spring the mother to our now landlords who were born in the house passed away and their father was unable to care for himself so was put into a home, which seem to be everywhere here! We are the first Americans to rent out the house and I feel a sort of responsibility to this house being the first Americans to live here and all! Maybe because we are also renting out our house in NC & karma can be a witch if ya know what I mean! Our landlords are very nice and speak a little English so communication is ok! They also pop in sometimes & since this is their childhood home it makes me nervous! Weird I know!

Hope you enjoyed our home! And MOST of you are welcome anytime! ;)

Cheers!
