History in the Making

A walking tour of the house in Wichita, KS for the 2011 Sisterhood Retreat.

As you enter the front door you are in a small foyer with a staircase to the left, Crop Room #1 to the right and dining room straight ahead.

Here is a pic of crop room #1 from the website:

Go through Crop Room #1 and turn to your left. You are now in Crop Room #2:

In Crop Room #2 you can turn to the left and got to the dining room.

Here is a picture of the Dining Room looking out to the left of Crop Room #2:


The dining room seats 12 with 2 tables of 6. Here is a pic from the website:



If you continue back through Crop Room #2 you are in a small family room/den area with a TV.



On through this area and you are in the downstairs full bathroom.



Back at the foyer. If you go straight through the foyer and into the Dining Room, the kitchen is straight ahead. It is a long kitchen with lots of gorgeous cabinets, appliances and it's own little coffee bar area.

Here is a picture of the coffee bar area at the far end of the kitchen:


Walking through the kitchen, to the left of the fridge is a door into the laundry room with built-in ironing board and a new washer/dryer. Turn right in the laundry room and you face the stairs to the upstairs Crop Area #3. Pictures of this area are a few posts down. Behind the laundry room is the former garage which has been finished out as a messy work area. With a sink, tables cabinets and a few chairs. Do your glimmer misting and painting down here. Washing out brushes, etc. in this sink.

In this photo from the website you see the "work" sink, the stairs to the right go up to Crop Room #3 or you can go up the small set of stairs, turn to the right and you are in the laundry room.



Back to the foyer. Go to the left and wind up the stairs. At the top of the stairs is a small nook to your right with a recliner and a shelf of books. Great place for a nap or to unwind for awhile.

Directly across from the head of the stairs is the Green Room which sleeps 3.

To the left of that is the Shoe Room with 4 beds.

Here is a picture of the light fixture in the Shoe Room - hence the name of the room:

Across the hall from the Shoe Room is the Peach Room with 3 beds.

The Teacup room is the smallest with room for 2 and is a bit further down the hall, but closest to the upstairs full bath.


This bathroom has a separate walk-in shower and a separate tub with jacuzzi.

Floors in the bathrooms and kitchen are all new tile. Hardwoods everywhere else I believe with the exception of the garage area and crop room #3 which are carpeted.

A staircase to the attic reveals this finished out massage room area:

That completes your walking tour. I'll finish with a view of the side yard & gazebo:
