I absolutely love the house my mom bought. It's pretty big, has wallpapered closets with light bulbs and dangling strings, old oak doors with black doorknobs and keyholes you can see through, one of the bedrooms has a big crack in the wall that's been painted over, and the stairway is dark, narrow and steep with a single light bulb as its light source. There are lace curtains throughout the house, a few chipped white-painted windows, an indoor porch with a swing, and old appliances and furniture that the previous tenants gave us. It even sits on a hill (do any of you have the chills yet?).
Has anyone ever seen Coraline? Remember the doorway that she entered the "good" life in? Those little doorways are in every closet, kept closed with nothing more than a cut-out door and twisting locks (that's were the spirits lurk). There's even a "coal room" in the basement where families used to shovel in the coal for the furnace in order to heat the house. There's another room right next to the coal room with shelves filled with tools and paint. A workshop.
I would like to hereby dub this home "The Amittyville Horror House".
Anyone think I'm crazy yet?
Whether its going to wind up being haunted or not, its really a beautiful vintage country home (even though Munster is pretty urban). The first floor has tons of windows and the sunlight falls into the house perfectly through the windows. During the day, we won't need a single light. The carpeting is clean and the house has been well kept, and my mom even plans to finish the basement and remodel the kitchen. We're throwing in new carpeting, painting/adding wallpaper, and overall modernizing the house; but keeping a vintage, country theme. On top of moving in our own furniture and once its remodeled, this house is going to be gorgeous.
I can't wait to move in!
