I was sitting here, seriously wondering if you could get your architect to draw up the plans for Phase 2 of your Herman house project. Here is what I'd like to suggest---to make it a duplicate of the notorious stigmatised property on 112 Ocean Drive, Amitybville, NY. But yeah---you could make it a tourist draw, with rooms for the night, and scary mooo-vvesss, starring Margot Kidder and James Brolin. Yup. See photo.

Okay---Or else---you could make it a Munster-style House. Yup. Show old Steven King scaaaaary movies. Yup.2023-05-01 (5).jpg2023-05-01 (5).jpg
Okay----What they do in SFD & vicinity is this: They(and by that I mean Those People, local yokels) is purchase a 50's or 60's-style ranch home. So anyway---Those People are at the bottom rung of home buyers, who don't have enough income, even though they both work. But yeah---they got a Truck Payment, and Chile' Support Payments, Boat Payment, and this kind of stuff. Plus, they get in trouble and have legal fees. See? But anyhow---what they do is buy a home---maybe two or three bedrrom, with an attached garage, and then almost always convert the garage into living space. It's either a "famly room" or another bedroom for his/her/their kids. Or a MIL apartment or space for a child returned home, for awhile. See? They always do it, more than not. But yeah---steada cutting back on Rolling stock buying a bigger place to begin with, having that truck/boat comes first. So, the kids end up living in the garage, with the boat/truck/camper parked outside. Yup.
When we bought this 1941 cottage, the biggest bedroom had been the former garage. Someone in the 80s? Converted the garage to a bedroom.
Today it is a kitchen
Oddly enough, that original garage had a basement underneath it.
96E6BBEC-A82C-49EE-AB42-FCB77AF85E14.jpgOur Sun room is 3779FD88-FF08-4E62-BB25-30B5D2E41032.jpg95% done, meaning not only is the construction done, the decor is complete. I need a couple more pillows and a big basket to contain detritus. The coolest thing is that I stopped into Goodwill before ordering a couple of things on Amazon. I’ll be damned if I didn’t find the exact perfect pillowcases,. I also bought a few pillow forms. I love our local Goodwill. It is clean, well organized, and the merchandise moves.
In this room I found a use for my old Victorian shawl and a few vintage tins.
Okay---Damn, you've got some kool stuff there, faux! That being said, I like how you generate those stats in percentages' Ha. I always say something like: "98% half done". Like I'm a demmmacrat. Yup. That's where I'm at on my backyard cottage. But yeah--you might axxe the city if they'd put some signs directing sight-seers in the direction of your manor. Yup. Hope that helps you some. Thannkk mee.
For you littleBobby, cat man, here are gratuitous cat photos in our Sun room

The furniture is new and in a style called “bobbin chair “among other names. It is a style out in the market for 10 years, so I imagine it will be gone from trend soon if not already. That is the problem with buying new furniture. However, I do like the black painted wood accent in here. The chair fabric came with the chair.
The other fabrics are bedspreads directly from India, Pillowcases from Goodwill, Victorian shawl from my friend.
The style here is a bit Boho.
