There was a small room toward the back of the upstairs with a large window. It definitely was intended to be used as a sewing room as it contained two Singer treadle machines. I learned to sew in that room😁Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697584170412028921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-3733676286077061442021-01-23T23:49:03.563-05:002021-01-23T23:49:03.563-05:00I had a 1860's Federal Colonial style home in ...I had a 1860's Federal Colonial style home in the country with a 7x12' room with 2 windows off the Master bedroom.

We’re in lockdown and can’t go anywhere by planes, so we settle for a magical walk with snow swirling around us in the dark of the evening. Have to do some cardio everyday to keep healthy. The icy bits on the sand walks do make hold hands, so it’s romantic too. It’s winter, so I’ll enjoy the blessings of our warm home, plenty of food and lots of fabric. I’m off to finishing another quilt.

Hooks were installed in the bedrooms to hang clothes on and there was one small room that was used for storage...usually items brought in bulk like 100 pound bags of flour and sugar, etc. They also put their herbs hung to dry and sometimes the occasional homegrown, handmade, canned things. Usually those items were stored in the basement where it was cool and dark. :)LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612629420194084787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-18304978943658091412021-01-19T13:13:39.195-05:002021-01-19T13:13:39.195-05:00I see the ants!!!!

In fact, many old houses have them and according to an historian friend of mine they were called "sick rooms". It was a small room where the infirmed could be cared for in isolation without infecting the rest of the household. Perhaps architects will bring these features back after the year we have had!
