SET A COURSE FOR A SLUMBER PARTY
Elizabeth and her husband have two daughters who get to claim the sixbed bunkroom , though the room is popular with visiting adults too . The beds are interconnected , creating a seafaring landscape with a bridge , ladders , and reading nooks , all under a starry sky thanks to the star map ceiling wallpaper .
“ The kids love the bunk room — it ’ s cozy , but spacious enough for lots of friends ( they can really pile in ). Decor-wise , while nautical , it ’ s certainly not ‘ kid-ish ,’ and the bed spaces are plenty big for adults ,” says Elizabeth .
Elizabeth , her husband , and two daughters quarantined in the home during the COVID-19 pandemic .
Now , having lived in the space , including during quarantine , Elizabeth said there ’ s nothing she would have done differently with one exception : “ The only thing I would have done differently is investigated if insulation between the bedroom walls was possible for soundproofing . The way these old homes were constructed , there ’ s not a lot of privacy !” n
