ENTRY HALL & LIVING ROOM
The house is altogether, very Victorian. The entry hall is nicely decorated with a steep staircase near the door. It separates into all of the rooms of the house. The kitchen in the far back, the living room to your left and the staircase to your right. The living room is basically open to the entry hall, which makes it more combined than the kitchen. It consists of a dusty red couch and other furnishings with various decoration.

KITCHEN
The kitchen is one of Norman's safe places. He loves to prepare food and does most of his hobby time on the kitchen table. It's rather messy, but quite homey, more of Norman's style.

MOTHER'S ROOM
Up the stairs and the first door on the left is Mother's room. Mrs. Bates' has a Victorian, baroque, stuffy, upstairs bedroom. Ornate fixtures surround the room and strangely preserved Victorian artifacts including an antique dry washbasin, a nude goddess statuette, a cold fireplace and empty chair, an armoire-wardrobe with old-fashioned, high-necked women's clothes neatly hung, a vanity table with large mirror, hairbrush and comb. There's also a jewelry box (a bronzed sculpture of two crossed, lace-cuffed hands clasped in prayer) on the dressing table. Chances are if you come in here, you're not going to live very long because Norman certainly wouldn't invite you in.

NORMAN'S ROOM
Up the steps and to the right, Norman has a little-boy's room containing a mysterious, aberrant combination of childrens (boy's and girl's items) and adult's things, signifying Norman's stultified personality development. The usually isolated room contains a rocking chair; a stuffed bird; a doll, a model car, a toy schoolhouse and a stuffed teddy bear in a pile on a wall shelf; a stuffed rabbit on Norman's slept-in single bed; a phonograph record of Beethoven's Er-o-ica Third Symphony on a box-like turntable; and a world globe and small piggy bank safe next to a stack of books. This is the only other place besides the Kitchen that Norman can call his own without his "mother's" influence

GUEST ROOM
Upstairs and down the hall to your left (tip toe by Mrs. Bates room), there is a nice guest room. A mostly colonial style room, unlike the rest of the house, but still Mother's influence. It is kept up by Norman, just in case anyone needs to stay in the house. It's better cleaned than the rest of the house, which is mostly dusty. It's for the need to have someone else nearby, though it doesn't seem likely that will happen with his mother around.

ATTIC
At the top of the house with a rounded window at the shingles sits the Attic. It's filled with all of Mrs. Bates old things and some of Norman's when he was a child.

FRUIT CELLAR
A dark room with only one light at the middle. A window would have been the only light, but it's too dusty to see through. It is quite easy to sneak in if you ever find the house's doors locked. Both the cellar door and the window are simple to open.
