The Littlest Room

Join me for Show and Tell Friday at My Romantic Home .

Come and see The Littlest Room. 

Whenever anyone sees our house for the first time, one of the first questions they ask is

 "What is that little room on the top of the house, and is it really a room?"

 To answer, it is sometimes called a Widows Watch or Cupola and yes it is a real room.

Even though the room is only 9x10 and has a staircase on one side, you would be surprised how much I have stashed up there.

Each of the four walls has two small windows that look out over the property and can see to almost the end of town.

These are some of my mother's hats.  She was a hat person and she wore them well.

In church she was known as the hat lady. 

 I have displayed a collection of my favorite in cream and black on each of the four walls. 

 This is a room my children love to play in. 

If you can believe it, in this room, I have a black dresser, a small black table and

a white trunk filled with dress up clothes.

                    My kids have found that the most fun is to slide down the stairs on their bellies.

 You can hear their laughter all the way downstairs.

In the room is an adorable vintage iron child's crib that is all dressed in white. 

My kids cuddle up and read books, it is so quiet and they think no one can find them up here.

Now let me show you a secret. 

 This may look like an ordinary bookcase that needs some paint.

Here come see, let me show you the surprise.

Get ready.  Now open.

Isn't it neat, my husband custom made the bookcase to roll in and hide the opening to our attic storage. That is where I put all our Christmas decorations.

 Now my favorite, the floor.

I love all checkerboard, diamond and stripes.

Thanks for stopping by to see The Littlest Room.
