The door on the blue wall on the right, is to the bathroom. The door with the light bulb shining is to the hall and the one on the white wall is to the first closet by the chimney,
And we finally got to move it!
This is the photo I took right after we moved in – when things were still very dusty.
When I’m done with all of these memories, (and my house is clean) I’ll take current photos of all of the rooms.
