The quirks of an 80 year old house

Although Chateau StranMcCann was extensively renovated and remodeled by the previous owners in the past ten years, the house maintains some of it's 80 year old heritage.

Ornate lighting fixtures...


Built in wooden shelves with glass doors...


Brown brick fireplace (with living room mess cleverly hidden from the lens of the camera)...



Original oak hardwood floor...


Ornamental feature (the exact term escapes Emmett and Oscar's sleep deprived mother)...

 Curved wall from living room to dining room

 
Original heating register

 

It is here that the eldest of the StranMcCann boys decided, on his own, to pee. Not when he was sleepwalking. Not in a moment of urgency, when he couldn't make it to the bathroom and sought out an alternative. He just looked at it and in his four year old mind, thought, "I should try peeing in there". Much to the chagrin of his parents, who are utterly perplexed by this activity. 

His little brother Oscar, was also quite upset to learn about the pee-in-the-heat-register, as one day, he will share this room with Emmett.
