just how many bedrooms are/were there in the Kent home?

[unPTC]

Thinking about Clark's nightmare and his need to get outside with just a few steps, made me wonder why the house would only have two bedrooms. Whenever they need to get Clark on the couch, there are only two bedrooms, but when they need to take someone in (Ryan, for example) or offer accomodations to someone in need there's it sounds like there's a guest room...is it me, or did the show get significantly sloppier about this stuff this past season? I guess this goes along with the lackof plumbing in the mansion when Lana needed to wash her hands of blood...

Hmm... you have a good point there. Lets look at the house...

http://www.kryptonsite.com/Smallville-2T5222-03.jpg

As you can see from the picture the house is of moderate size, suggesting that it may possibly be as large as 3 (maybe even 4) bedrooms and 2 baths. But thinking about it how the Kents probably didn't want any visitors when Clark was little, (and not many these days either) they may have never outfitted any space as a guest room (or guest rooms).

Also about the plumbing in lex's house.... I'm thinking that was more budget than anything else. They would have had to build a bathroom, get the plumbing working, and what not. Plus its kind of a throw back to the old days when they used water bowls like that.

Yeah, I always wondered about the bedroom issue. I remember Clark telling Martha's father in Redux that they had 'plenty of room.' And they had room to take Ryan in permanently, from all appearances. I always found it weird that suddenly Clark was sleeping on the coach when Lois came...

Yeah true there should be at least one extra bed room....iono struck me as odd too.....about the whole bowl of water thing it didn't strike me as odd just was thinking Lex didn't wan't any blood getting in his bathroom so the blood couldn't be traced to his house incase it got searched iono just what ran threw my head

Maybe Clark was too tired to go up to his room to sleep or maybe he need some fresh air. Another reason I can think of is maybe his room might be too stuffy.

I thought Lois brought 'a breath of fresh air' whereever she went.

I personally assumed the bowl of water was an allusion to Lady Macbeth's famous "Out, damned spot!" scene in Macbeth.

some people like sleeping on the couch (half the time i sleep on the couch)maybe clark just feels like sleeping on the couch sometimes.

the bowl of water was so lana didn't stain lex's white pearl/diamond sink.

That house from the outside is pretty darn huge. If the bedrooms are anything like the size of my house's bedrooms, then there could be about 7 or 8 comfortably with living room, bathrooms, halls, kitchen, all those other rooms we see, and stairwells (not to mention attic). Although, That's a farmhouse and my home's in a downtown area, so maybe they have bigger rooms out there.

Unless she had beans for dinner and forgot to take the Beanos...

[Devilicus]

i think there is only one bathroom, or at least only one with a shower, because of the scene between clark and lois where she just walks in

[crazymonkeys007]

maybe clark slept on the couch to stay as far away from lois as possible.....

Hopefully it explains the sleeping arrangment theory.

i was under the impression that it was someting like alcohal in the bowl because blood is very hard to wash off of something,and alchohal can be used for tthat sort of thing, i think

Well working off of what the sites says, the house has at least three bedrooms.

The first floor "contain[s] a large kitchen with dining area, a living area and two bedrooms." So theres two bedrooms, possibly.

"An indoor commode and two more rooms were added in 1938, and in 1957 a second story was built." There is two more possible bedrooms, but I'm not counting those at the moment. Clark's bedroom is upstairs so that is the third.

But this is all suggested only if Martha and Johnathan went with the original floor plans for the house. "Shortly after marrying Martha, Jonathan constructed a wraparound porch, painted the house yellow and surrounded the home with a white picket fence for his new bride. The couple gutted and completely renovated the residence over the past several years." Since we don't exactly to what extent they "gutted" house.
