Collector's Bedroom (upstairs): The bed is queen size with cotton sheets, blankets and quilts to keep you warm. We reclaimed a large painted mural that originally hung above a long-time favourite souvenir shop in downtown Seaside. In the middle of this painted local landscape is the word 'Collectors'. This describes the room perfectly! There are dozens of historic photographs of the Oregon shipwrecks, Oregon coastal maps, and local photographs taken of the town and it's people over a 100 year period.
Another wall is covered with dozens of 1940's vintage wooden plaques. If you've ever seen these whimsical images you'll surely enjoy reading what is carved or written on them. Very popular in the early part of the 1900's up to the early 1960's, these souvenir plaques were one of the first vacation souvenirs that families would pick up as they traveled in their cars from state to state.
Paradise Bedroom (upstairs): The other section of the painted mural resides in this pretty room. It has the painted word 'Paradise' on it. Paradise describes this room quite nicely. Homemade quilts are on each of the beds. There is a double sized bed and a standard-twin bed in the bedroom. On one wall is a collection of vintage souvenir state plates, on another wall are turn of the century tin-foil artwork known as reverse painting with tinsel and dates back to Victorian time.
Back Porch: Contains the full sized washer and dryer, and washing supplies. Iron and Board.
