More Details/More About the Bathrooms
There are bakings items in the center wall cabinet of the left pantry. There is baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, lemon, orange and other extracts. And there is molasses.
The 4 feet x 7 feet towels cabinets that hold the white terry towels will be kept outside the bathrooms. the cabinets are centered on the outside wall. There is a brick column at each outside end of the men's and women's bathrooms. I think the tiles in the bathroom showers should just be white and not have gold motif on the ceramic tiles. There can not be a window in the bathrooms because outside are the concrete stairs from the stairwell to the courtyard. When you enter the bathrooms there is a brown stained hutch against the left wall across from the sink cabinets. Each of the boys have a drawer in the hutch. There are three center drawers with a storage section each side. there are three more drawers across the top of the base part of the hutch. Then there is the top of the hutch base with the hutch top. There is a center shelf with another drawer under it. This means that each of the seven boys will have a drawer. The six girls also have a drawer and the top center one is extra. Each of the children have a storage section. The bottom storage section has one shelf and this means there are two sections each side. That is for four of the boys. There also is a storage section each side of the center shelf in the hutch top. This is for two more of the boys. The open section above the top center shelf is for the seventh boy. The girls also have drawer and storage section in their bathroom. They keep comb, deoderant, shaving razor or electric razor in the drawers. The girls have girl items. They have extra toilet paper and bars of soap in their storage sections. Thye keep what they need in their drawers and storage sections. Extra white terry bath towels are kept on the top of the lower base of the hutch. the children may have extra white terry wash cloths in their drawers. There is a brown stained board with a round shiny brass light fixture above each mirror over the sinks. The shades are white globe shades. There are five light fixtures.The brown stained board runs across the wall the length of the sink cabinet. The light fixtures are centered above the sinks. There is a dark brown outlet at the bottom of the lights centered above the sinks. The girl's bathroom is the same as the boy's bathroom except for their personal things. Bathrooms are opposite though. At the end of the outside back corridor is the walk thru. The walk thru goes from around the corner of the back corridor to the right and left back alcove closets where the electric breakers are. Around the corner of the back corridor is the side corridors. There is a wall across the side corridor. It goes from the side of the column across the side corridor to the side wall. There are a set of 5 feet double doors in this wall. The doors are 2 1/2 feet wide, Moroccan red/brown with 6 inch x 2 1/2 foot clear glass window panel. The doors to the bathrooms are three feet wide. This area is under the walk thru at the sides of the front of the Mosque Room above. The lower walk thru is 9 feet wide x 20 feet wide. The floors in this area are tiled marble like the tiles on the alter platform in the Mosque Room above. The tiles are white. There are abstract stained glass rectangle/triangle windows in the lower level. They are like the ones upstairs on the Main Level. The end side walls are brick. There is a column between the windows. The column has bricks on the side. they are 1 1/2 feet wide and the front centers are white stucco. There is an antique brass V sconce five feet up from the floor and centered in the front of the column. The sconce has maroonish red moasics each side. The windows have white laminated valance that fits lik a puzzle over the windows. Behind the windows the walls are white plastered. The center window is rectangle/triangle and the side windows are rectangle and about 1 foot wide. The windows are the same size as the windows upstairs in the right and left front side walk thrus. The ceiling above the lower walk thrus is white laminated like upstairs. The ceiling is lower than the 9 feet high back corridor. It is 7 or 8 feet high. The back corridor is 12 feet wide between the pantry side and the bathroom side and 14 feet wide between the kitchen corridors and the dining room and the exit corridors and the laundry room. I may not be totally accurate with the walk thru size and the widths of the back corridor. Witchqueen Last edited by WitchQueen; 16th January 2010 at 14:49. Reason: Added Something |

Finishing the Back Corridor, Bathrooms and Walk Thrus
The back corridor is 13 feet across from the pantries to the other side where the outside bathroom walls are. The area between the exit and kitchen corridors and the dining room and laundry is 15 feet across.
The parts of the walls that are sheetrocked/plastered are covered with medium brown vinyl wall paper. The floor tiles along the walk thrus are white low lustre tiles like the ones in the kitchen and pantries. There are three sections of abstract stain glass windows along the outer wall of the walk thrus. There are one foot brick side walls at the ends and 1 1/2 foot column in between the windows. The columns have brick sides and the centers are white stucco. The columns have V sconce 5 feet up from the floor. The v sconces have a maroonish red mosaic each side. The light shines up from the top of the V sconces. The windows are 3 feet wide in the center and there is a 1 foot wide rectangle section each side. There is a antique brass recessed ceiling fixture located center ceiling in front of the point of the rectangle triangle center stain glass window section. The light switches are in the exit corridors 6 inches in from the entrance way. There are 2 switches. The first switches control the walk thru lights and the center corridor light and the V sconces on either side of the Al-Aqsa Mosque painting. The right exit coridor controls the right side walk thru and the left exit corridor controls the left walk thru. The second switch controls the exit corridor lights and the outside lights one each side of the laundry windows. The tiles in the bathrooms are medium brown with gold specks in the tiles. They are smooth and shiny. The hutch on the outer wall is brown stain. I made a change in the lower storage sections of the hutches. Toilet paper is kept in the bottom sections on the boy's side and toilet tissue is kept in the bottom left section in the girl's bathroom. Personal girl product is kept on the right bottom section. Bar soap is kept on the left shelf above and deoderant and toothpaste is kept on the right shelf above. The hand towels are kept on the top shelf of the hutch top. The wash clothes are kept in the hutch top side storage setions on the left and if they shave with razor there may be shaving cream in the right storage section. The doors of the showers are textured glass. You can see thru but not clearly. A shiny brass towel bar runs across the front of the door to hold the bathtowel. There is a shiny brass towel ring on either side of the sink on the wall. They hold hand towels. There is a brown stain wood medicine cabinet with beveled mirror centered over each of the sinks. The children keep their deoderant in the cabinets. They keep them in the same place so they know which is theirs. There is a white plastic soap dish for bar soap. The dish is located toward the back outer corner of the sink. One on each side of the sink. Bottle of liquid hand soap is kept under each of the sinks. They refill the liquid soap dispensors. This is a fairy tale and the children are fairy tale but I would like to think the African girl teen and three year old Maboto come from Haiti. Hatians are descendent of African slaves and they are connected with the French. I feel sad about their sadness. Hopefully other Haitians will take children to be with them but I like them to be in the Palace.

The sleigh beds have one drawer. The drawer is at the lower half of the beds and they are 2 3/4 feet wide and 10 inches high. I added 2 1/2 feet to each end of the 60 feet x 60 feet center area. Now the area is 60 feet wide x 65 feet long. I did this so that the second side alcoves will fit. This means that the fron where the Cafe is located is 2 1/2 feet wider and the dining roo, kitchen corridors and pantries are 2 1/2 feet wider. The dining room is 22 1/2 feet x 22 feet size. The corridors are the same except they are 22 1/2 feet long. The pantries are 11 1/2 feet x 15 feet size. The dining room carpet is 2 1/2 feet wider. The pantry doors are moved in a little so they can be centered with the inside of the pantry. The cabinets in the pantry are a little wider. The center cabinets are wider than the side ones. The shelf underneath with the spices is divided into three sections under the cabinets. Everything else is the same. When you enter the side corridor you are going from back to front. We are at the left side corridor. After you enter the corridor there is a 3 feet wide door to the immediate right. This door is for the second 7 foot x 7 foot alcove. This alcove is used to store 5 laundry carts in when there not needed or there are guests. There are nine laundry carts. The carts are wire baskets covered with off white plastic. The basket part of the carts are 2 feet x 2 1/2 feet size. The carts are three feet high. They have brass metal frames and the wheels are off white. Two of the carts have poles on the sides with a cross bar so you can hang hangers with clothes on them. Five carts can go into the alcove. Two of the carts can go under the table in the laundry room and the two carts that hold hangers are kept in the laundry room at the ends of the room. When you enter the alcove there is 3 1/2 feet to the right of the entrance door. The 3 1/2 feet goes to the right behind the beginning of the walk thru stain glass windows. (I have already described alcoves and most of the stairwells.)
