I need some suggestions...

...for what to do in this basement. As you'll see in the picture here, this house sits on top of a basement box. In the basement is three rooms. One of them (at the foot of the stairs from the house) is going to be a laundry room. The room at the opposite end is going to be the caretakers quarters. But for the life of me I can't figure out what to do with the middle room. In the five years since I started this project, I haven't been able to decide what to do. I'm hoping that with twelve followers of this blog, I can get some good suggestions. Help! :)

Nursery, for now...

This is the nursery on the 3rd floor. Again, I'm not too sure what this room will end up being on a permanent basis. I'm toying with thoughts of a sewing room.

The staircase...

This shot shows the staircase and a very dusty hallway floor. I was also trying to capture the tapestry that hangs on the staircase wall.

2nd floor hallway...

This is the right side of the 2nd floor hallway; opposite the staircase. Two tudor style chairs flank a Bespaq lawyers cabinet. Inside the cabinet are many drawers, slots for papers, and even a wine bottle rack!

2nd floor hallway...

This is the back area of the 2nd floor hallway and for now, is where a game of chess can be played. However, this may end up as a sitting room once I have the right furniture made.

Kitchen doorway...

The doorway from the kitchen to the dining room is capped off with a decorative wood grille. Yep, I understand that this is more a 'Victorian' touch, but I couldn't resist putting it there. Besides, I'm not strictly adhering to the Tudor era and instead doing whatever I feel like doing. I think it's going well so far.

Building extension...

This photo shows the little extension I built for the dollhouse; another deviation from the plans. This extension is to house a faux staircase that will be going from the living room to the basement. It will make more sense once I actually work on the staircase.
