a farewell to arms


we like what we have seen of old hospitals in pictures and in movies. They have the perfect balance of simple and creepy, we have always enjoyed that aesthetic. one of our favorite movies The Fall (last pic above) is set in an absolutely perfect hospital in the 1920's that i love.
one thing lead to another....and now this is our guest room:
The wheelchair was the most recent addition, which probably took the theme too far seeing as we wanted it to actually function as a guest bedroom and no one we know will sleep in it. We have a small collection of medical books and classic novels set in hospitals on the nightstand if anyone is interested....

I can only imagine....I wake up half conscious to find an old man with a severed head wheeling back and forth. No, I love it. Agreed, very creative. Coolest house of all time, with the coolest inhabitants.
