Mansion, Room by Room

I will update this post to reflect any/all posts made about the mansion (mostly so my mother and I can find them quickly when talking to friends and each other about the mansion)...

Lady's Bedroom, Sitting Room, and Bathroom

View of Sitting Room and Bedroom (with furniture arranged wrong)

Found this earlier photo that shows how the furniture is supposed to be arranged

Sitting Room upclose

Bathroom, still in progress

Past posts about these rooms (there were a few others but they mostly focused on some other room or project and only mentioned these rooms in small doses or in passing):

1. Preparing Lady's Room (and others)

2. Lady's Sitting Room (wallpapered and trims - at end of blog entry)

3. Lady's Ceilings

4. Lady's Bedroom (and Music Room) Flooring

5. Final/Last posting to date: Trims in Lady's Room

Guest Bedroom

Unfortunately I did not take in progress photos or describe wallpapering this room. Even the flooring is just briefly mentioned in other posts about other flooring I was working on, such as library or lady's rooms floorings.

No blog posts about this room yet.

Conservatory

Room crammed full of furniture, plants, and birdcages

1. Conservatory

Ballroom

Ballroom Ceiling

Rest of the House

Addition Side is basically untouched other than priming and ballroom ceiling

Still have (from top left down to bottom right) Nanny's room, Nursery Bathroom, Family Room, Game Room and Hallway to complete in Main House

Staff Areas

Started as the kitchen will now be Staff Dining Room on left, Laundry/Sewing Rooms on the right

Men's Bedrooms and Bathrooms on the left, Women's Bedrooms and Bathrooms on the right.

These very dark rooms will be the new kitchen on left and wine cellar/pantry/butler's office maybe on right

This has to be the kitchen to accommodate dumb waiter coming down from the Butler's Pantry above

Still in limbo as to it's actual end game: may be butler's office, maybe pantry, maybe wine cellar, maybe all three - remains to be seen still

Kitchen (Pot Rack)
