Big Bedrooms

City bedrooms tend to be small, but this house has large ones.  We have always used the front room as a bedroom although the former owners purposed it as their living room.  Here is the section where the bed is.  There is plenty of room to fit a King and you can move around it without a problem.  The closet is in the corner.  The fireplace is closed up.  The mantel is a good example of the simple style of abundant woodwork in the house.

This alcove is part of the bedroom.  The arch is lovely.  For a while, we had a bed in there but it can get cold in the winter!  If you look under the window, you'll notice that the wood moulding goes all of the way down to the floor. The window casings are original and the same style throughout most of the house.  The front windows used to be six over six but someone knocked out the original fretwork so now they just hold a single pane. However, they are still original to the house and made of old-growth wood.  With three windows and a West facing exposure, they let in nice light during the day but not so much that it's overly  bright in the morning.  This is a fine bedroom.
