My grandmother inherited HALF of the parlor rug among other things. Half a rug was the same size as one of my grandmother's bedrooms. I can't imagine how big just the parlor was in great grandmother's house! The room also contained a player piano. My mother was offered it, but it wouldn't fit into our mucho smaller house. My mother does have the large bedroom set. The bed is stored cos the headboard is too tall for modern ceilings. And don't get me started on how many dining pieces there are running around from there.
