Future master Bedroom Discoveries

The room that we plan on making into a first floor master bedroom with attached bath is right off of the new kitchen. It was an addition to the house and we have no idea of how old it is.
Recently gutted of its blue wainscoating, bad wiring, and endless lathe and plaster, it already looks much better!
The floor is covered in chip board based tiles (from the 50's?)
Sean peeled off a few and I was so happy to see hardwood underneath! We had been trying to decide what to put down for flooring in there and are very pleased that there is beautiful existing flooring ready to be sanded.
Sean also found a trap door in the floor.
You should have heard the buzz between the two older kids when they heard Papa had found a secret place! Endless fodder for two imaginations!



The photo above reminds me of the game "Whack a Mole", doesn't it? Nothing too exciting down there. Lots of dirt and enough room for running heating ducts.
The crowning glory of this room is this original tin ceiling. I LOVE it and can't wait to see it cleaned and painted with a pretty chandelier in the middle.
The wall unit we'll leave and use for running heating ducts upstairs. With old thin walls, you have to improvise! Obviously there was a stove in here at one point.
