Claus!


This is my neighbor claus. He's the harbormaster and helps with EVERYTHING around here. He's got a skiff - a little motorboat, so sometimes on a nice day he'll take you for a boatride.

Weeeeeeeee

I have a trapeze


I forgot to tell you I have a trapeze. It hangs from the ceiling and you can tell if the boat is moving by looking at it to see if it's swinging.

When I moved in I saw this thing way back in a high shelf in the closet. I thought it was an anchor or something boaty. But when I was cleaning and pulled it out, I was like, "Wooooah!!!!! Coool a trapeze!" The last person who lived here was an acrobat and must have left it behind.

We put it up to play with. It's very strong.

The Hookah Lounge


Back inside, upstairs on one loft used to be a little hookah lounge. It was all red shag with shaggy red lamps growing out of the ground. Other-planetary-y.

ROund Bed


This round bed used to spin now it's just the box springs as an easy couch on the living room floor.

Shaggier houseboat

Upstairs Downstairs TV


This entertainment center hangs from a rope and you can pull it up and down on a pulley -- lift it up to the loft or send it down to the ground.
