I do not yet have a complete virtual tour of the Manor but I'll give you what I have so far. If you enter the house through the front door (most people use the kitchen door on the side) you would see the following stairway first.

Front Stairway

Turning right, you enter the living room. (I need to add the opposite view to show the bay window.) Joy and I refurbished the walls in this room. Read about it at How I Rennovated the Living Room. Joy did the stenciling at the top of the wall.

Living Room

From the living room you would pass into the dining room, here shown from two angles. Note the pressed tin ceiling. We have tin ceilings in three rooms in the house.

Dining room

Dining Room, too

The computer room has a tin ceiling. Although you can't see her from this picture, our bird Cookie is in a cage on the wall you cannot see.

The computer room

The following picture looks back into the dining room from the kitchen. This picture shows a display of kitchen baskets that Joy has put up. Joy has also done the stenciling at the top of the walls.

The next picture shows our guestroom. We kick our college-aged kids out when people come for a visit. Note the tin ceiling. This used to be the master bedroom but it overlooks Groton Street and it is just that much quieter in our room towards the back of the house.

The following picture shows our bedroom.

Here is a picture of the barn under the loft. My father-in-law is seated in the chair watching a movie on the 50" television.

Under the loft.

Here is another view of the barn where we eat many of our supper meals. This table gets used for meals, games, and crafts. We sometimes eat around the kitchen island or in the dining room, espcially if the craft-making gets out of hand at the table.

In the barn, playing cards.

Up in the loft, is where I keep a lot of our games, including these pinball machines. (I need to retake this photo to remain in focus.)
