Upstairs....of Old Yellow..

 
 
 

So let's head up the carpeted stairs..which I think should be ripped up to expose the beautiful hardwood underneath...
 
 

Here we have one of the two bedrooms upstairs.  Every door has so much vintage character with the recessed panelling and the crystal doorknobs.
 

MacKenzie looking out at the wonderful dormer windows....ahh..could you not see a quaint window seat tucked in there?
 

The built in closet in this bedroom which saves on lots of space.
 

Two little windows that look out at the big backyard with lots of fruit trees.
 

Down the hallway we go..on one side was built in drawers and a linen closet and on the other side the Main Bathroom.  I think the only downfall of this house is not having a full bath downstairs.  The bath on the first floor had only a toilet and sink, not even a shower.
 

Between both bedrooms is the main bathroom.  It was good-sized and also had a nice window for light.
 

Ok...let's head out of "MacKenzie's" room down the hall....
 

Here is Madison in her "room", the girls decided this was her room because of the built in drawers...all the hardwoods were in great shape. 
 

The rooms each have a total of three windows each to let in lots of light and here you see another dormered window....melt my heart.
 

The chunky baseboards are in both rooms of the upstairs, lots and lots of detailed mouldings.  Adore it.
 

This chandelier looked old but all the "crystals" were made of plastic, I'm not a big fan of plastic...but I do like the shape of the tiered layers.
 

Another antique fixture with cut crystals..this I like..one thing about old houses they did not skimp ont he details, that is why I think they are so popular.
 

All the crystal doorknobs in the house..I guess you probably didn't know I'm in love with crystal doorknobs..nah? wink, wink. Hope you enjoyed this Historic Tour of my "Dream" home....I wish we could put a bid on it but I'm a dreamer but I'm also a realist...I hope who ever gets to be the keeper of this beautiful home will love and cherish it and take good care of her, I wish that person could of been me but I dont' think will be.  But we did put another offer in on another house. It has a lot of potential and I think we could cottagy it up a bit....I have lots of ideas for that house..my head is spinning.

The upstairs is as lovely as the downstairs. The details in the house are really quite remarkable. I love the built-ins in Madison's room. Like you, I'm not a fan of plastic, but the chandelier looks nice. You could always replace the "crystals" with the real deal someday.

Like I mentioned before, there's always the chance the house's price may be sufficiently reduced, making it possible for you to buy it, so don't give up just yet. I could see you living here. I'm rooting for you. ;-)

Thanks Mother Kitty for all your support. I love the house so very much. We decided to put in a bid but they had already submitted the offers so our will be a "backup"...but you never know what could happen. We did put another bid on another house not as "special" as this house but I'm sure we could fix it up real nice....
