Turning right at the landing takes us into the office. As neither room upstairs has closets, we have a standing wardrobe in each room where we hang our clothes.

Here’s my side of the office. I just got a new Apple Pro Keyboard so I can sit a little farther away from the laptop. Yes, that is a Mac OSX poster on the wall, right next to the Star Wars: Episode 1 poster. We are nerds.

Behind me is the Snook’s side of the room. There are lots of mechanical bits and computers all connected with wires. I try to just avoid moving over there for fear of breaking something.

Leaving the office, the doorway on the opposite side of the landing leads to our bedroom…

…which is pretty much dwarfed by our bed. (I should’ve taken down our dressing gowns off the bedposts.) Nice quilt, eh?

To the left of the bed is our other wardrobe and our wire drawers. We also have a dresser and underbed drawers. Most of that space is needed for my clothes (as I have, like, four times what the Snook does).

At the foot of the bed we have another (non-functional) fireplace. It looks nice though, doesn’t it? I really like our bedroom. It’s a good, relaxing space (except for Sunday mornings when the Greek Church a block away goes nuts with the bells). But even that has its charms. 🙂

That’s the end of the tour, folks! Like I said, living in an old house entails a series of compromises. It’s drafty and it wasn’t designed for modern convenience. Nevertheless, we’ve got beautiful walls and floors and a lovely sunlight-filled courtyard. I’m happy with that.

The End!
