If I could, I'd like to have the "big house" to my cottage and use it for a quilters retreat.
Two huge bedrooms on the top floor could be used like dormitories.
Two huge living rooms on the middle floor, with great windows, high celings and a fireplace in each, would be the sewing workrooms.
Bottom floor, an above-ground (English) basement contains large kitchen, dining room, screened-in-porch, and laundry room.
There is a huge yard with wonderful trees to sit under for lectures or handquilting frames or picnics.

And I could still live right next door!
