Revisiting First Impressions, Part 6: North Wing

Posted on May 7, 2016June 29, 2025 By stega

The south wing of the house includes a couple of bathrooms off the linen hallway, a spare bedroom, the boys’ space and my office.


First, the spare room. When we first looked at the house, the room was a deep purple, but in the listing photos it was a rather blah blue. While there was no TV in the pic, there’s another mirror for you.

Here’s a shot of what the same wall of the room (from a different angle) looked like when we bought the house. Yes, that is PURPLE–deep, deep purple. This shot was taken shortly before I painted the room. And for those keeping count, TV #9 was in this room.

Then, a shot of the same angle as the listing photo after I painted the room.

One of the more interesting things about the house is the large open hallway comprising a large portion of the north wing. Unlike the POs’ bookshelves filled with family photos, we have bookshelves filled with books. (Yes, that was very snarky of me.) At least there were no mirrors in this section, but TV #10 was in the alcove with the desks on the right.

Lastly, here is my office. When the house was originally built, this space was two bedrooms for the Doc’s two sons. The POs removed the moveable wall dividing the room and used the entire space as a family room with, you guessed it, another TV–which for those keeping track, brings the total number of TVs the POs had in service to 12 (if we include the TV in the garage). In a show of apples to oranges, we have just one TV not even in the main house, and we didn’t get around to hooking it up until this past January, six months after we had moved to Purgatory. (I swear, I’m done being snarky now.)
