The Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast
Family Room--Three Beds and Three Floors Up

The Family Room was part of our project several years ago to add a couple more bedrooms and baths, taking space out of the old attic, and fashioning one of the rooms so that it would hold several beds and thus accommodate several people.  The windows in the attic, which had been purely an architectural feature to compliment the exterior appearance of the Queen Anne style home, were trimmed and decorated as a part of the new rooms. Children (and adults from what we hear) delight to sit in the little window seats and look out on the world outside.

This converted attic room has become very popular and features three of our grandparents' beds.  One is a Duncan Phyfe queen bed that is placed near the exposed chimney and was in Jan's mother's family.

Another is a full-size day bed, quite old, that was also in Jan's mother's family.  In the earliest years of our marriage, when we slept mainly on an old "sleeping porch," this was our regular bed.  The old day bed opens up into a full-size bed and has been placed next to one of the "reverse" window seats.

The third is an antique iron full bed that sits surprisingly in a small alcove, and was in Jerry's grandparents' home, and may possibly be the bed where his mother gave birth to him since he was born at his grandparents' home.

 
     This shows the door going into the adjacent tub-shower bathroom,
     as well as the exposed chimney brick behind the bed, and the
     vaulted ceiling in this converted attic room. In order to help ease
     the "bathroom bottleneck" when there are several persons in this
     room, the Queen Anne style lavatory is located in the bedroom.
