Downstairs Bathroom

So - still no mojo to speak of. Ergo, another glimpse of something inside our house.

This is a no longer functional window in the downstairs bathroom. Our house was originally built - onto an existing old chimney - in 1912. It was a "Virginia 2 on 2" which means it had two 15X15 ft rooms downstairs, and two of the same upstairs. When the house was built the kitchen was a separate building behind the house called the "Summer kitchen" and there was no indoor plumbing. At some point the kitchen was hooked to the house and a bathroom of sorts was attached to it. When we bought the house in 1981 we tore off the badly built addition and had to install a bathroom, which we did upstairs by dividing one of the bedrooms and creating an upstairs hall by stealing some acreage from the other bedroom. We put a galley kitchen under the bathroom in one of the two downstairs rooms. The two sons (aged 2 and 5) got the big bedroom, we got the now tiny one. Five years on we decided an addition was needed to create a third bedroom upstairs so we added a 12X12 ft addition sticking out the back in the middle of the house. The downstairs part was a mudroom and bathroom with toilet, basin, and stall shower (the upstairs bath has a tub, but no shower). The bathroom had a window above the toilet looking out the back. Fast forward to 2005 and the nest is empty and so of course we decide we need a much bigger house. As you do. We added a nice new BIG kitchen, a downstairs master bedroom, a garage... and off the kitchen a laundry area which ended up being right behind the old downstairs bathroom. This, of course, rendered the window useless. Now, the bathroom had acquired a beach theme over the years, and was full of odd vaguely beachy/fishy items, so before we covered the back of the now pointless window with wallboard - I painted the *outside* of it to look like seawater and hung some lovely wooden tropical fishes in it! Brilliant, eh? I thought so. More found things have been added since, of course. This is that window.
