The house that Penn built, pt. III: Interior

The interior of the cottage I built, unfurnished. Here's the ground floor, with the front door on the left, and the stairs and back door ahead. The walls are roughly plastered and given a pink wash, while the floor is staying a neutral beige carpet. 


The ground floor again, but taken from next to the back door. You can see the heavy oak beam that holds up the top floor here:


This next picture show the overall interior space very well. You can see the chimbley going right up one gable wall, with hearths on both levels, and the dog-leg stairs. I love interesting interior spaces like this:


This one is taken from above the landing on the left of the last picture:


The top floor has a lovely spring-green colour scheme which complements the pinknes of the walls and carpet. Note that the curtains downstairs are red, but up here they're green. Although this is an attic space, there's plenty of light, with four skylights and a gable window:


Here's the front door up close:

And the sculpted curtains, which open and close in three stages:


So the current quest is to find furniture to fill this place!
