THE SECOND STORY OF HOME

What turned houses into homes

An episode from the series THE HISTORY OF HOME: NARRATED BY NICK OFFERMAN

Synopsis

The most intimate rooms of the house are the study, the bathroom, and the bedroom.

Working from home takes on new meaning in history's greatest studies like the ones of Mark Twain, Thomas Edison, and Virginia Woolf. Next, we dive into the dirty details behind the most private room in the house: the bathroom. Then, we explore the boudoirs of French kings and queens at a castle 500 years older than Versailles.

Finally, we take a look inside the high-tech bedroom designs of the future.
