Third Floor Of The Cray Mansion With Lots To See




The 1882 Victorian Mansion with 25 rooms houses the Evah C. Cray Historical Home Museum where the third floor shows off a variety of items of an era that's gone by.





Handmade Collars, Sewing Notions to School room memories mixed with tiny Toys to rocking Babies and Dolls.  Wedding Attire, Antique Clothing, Books to Dishes filled the large rooms.  

Much to see not only in the sewing room, 
but through out the ENTIRE THIRD FLOOR.
The natural lighting in the Sewing room would sure make sewing a pleasant thing.  Bright.


The area leading to the third floor Turret was set up 
with School room atmosphere.  Teachers and Students are in place.

Evah did well with putting together her HOME Museum.  
I hope I can tour it again at a slower pace.  My batteries in my camera were about to expire as I took as many picture as I could in a hurry.  I hate it when this happens.

I'm not sure what I liked the most.  
Everything.

Looking at my pics, I can focus on details.
All the details.

Thank you for stopping by 
to see the Cray Mansion,

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
