 The Master Bedroom - Could You Sleep Here?Pink, pink, and more pink.. Like every other room in the house, it had been hosed down with Pepto Bismol. For some reason, these shots manage to dull the true horror. And even now that it's a nice soothing shade of (don't laugh) purple, I'm not sure how I actually managed to sleep here for two and a half years.  |

 In order to rewire the light over the front entry, we had to poke massive holes in the front wall just over the baseboards last year. While we found some remnants of tatty old rock wool insulation in the wall, the gaping hole resulted in yet more arctic breezes wafting through the house last winter... |

 Those of you who have been following this saga closely will remember that I found a total of five doors in the garage loft last year. Four were the french doors,
the story of which I've beaten to death. The fifth one - a
single-panel interior door - didn't seem to match anything else in the
house and while I knew that the master bedroom had had yet another
doorway sealed off by The Evil Panelers, I didn't completely make the
connection until this spring when I was touring a home for sale down
the street.In that house, the 2 front bedrooms were connected by a single-panel door identical to my fifth one and I have to assume that it originally hung here. (If you look closely, you'll see that the baseboard has been badly patched and that there is a pretty big crack running up the wall where the original doorframe was.) This is probably the only case to date where I agree with remuddling choices made by The Evil Panelers. If this doorway were restored, the master bedroom would connect to all the rooms on the second floor and there would be no real privacy for its inhabitants. And, by not restoring this doorway, I was able to use the door to fix the first floor coat closet. |
