Well, here it is! The grand 3rd floor that I hope to make into something lovely. An attic studio. A homeschool class room. As you can see the floor is rough but who are we to say that we need more than what the servants had a century ago? Ok, heat and air - need those! And lighting. I need better lighting. Afterall, I'll be slaving away up there! All the servants had to do was sleep in this sweet room above the trees.
On Christmas Eve we talked about what The Servant's Quarters might have been like 100 years ago when there were servants living up here. We put candles in the fireplace and prayed for our new year... for our family. 
And in the morning the sunlight coming through the lace was dreamy. Even the littlest boy in the house says it's "pretty".
The oldest boy is ever so gracious about lugging stuff up three flights of stairs =)
This old mirror is wicked heavy but hubby & I made a deal. He'd carry it up if I didn't hang that "heavy thing" on the wall and "ruin the wall". So, we get a floor-level reflection. And I just can't bring myself to refinish the floors those servants walked on.
