Mysteries of the house.


We love our new house. It is spacious and comfortable, however there are some things we wonder about.



1. Which light switch?  Yeah, these light switches control lights ALL over the house.  I need a label maker.




2. Why is the lock of the outside of this door? I found out about this when Thomas and I were doing the laundry, and he locked us in. Ben and Jack were out of the house and we found ourselves in here for about a half an hour. It wouldn't be so bad, but this particular room does not have an air conditioner. I had done a few loads of laundry, which made this small room quite hot. I started pounding on the door as soon as I heard the chime of the alarm, so relieved that Ben heard us right away.



3. What to do with the "rock garden"? It definitely needs something, but I can't decide. Paper lanterns? Lights? Some sort of mobile hanging from the top?  Branches in the large stone structure in the middle?

In case of intruder, I guess you can just hope they lock you in...

Holy poop that is a lot of lights. You know my boys cough cough liam cough cough would go crazy with those. That rock garden is awesome! Do the boys play with the rocks? My friend in Timor had one in the center of her house but it was enclosed. They kept their turtle in it ha! I am so glad ya'll are settling in!

I would totally put potted plants in the rock garden. But please post pictures of whatever you decide. :) I love seeing how people decorate!

Those lights look like art. You should put a frame around them!

Don't you ever wonder where these ideas originate? A lock on the wrong side of the door? Who does that? Gotta love the light switches!! Labeling seems like a fabulous idea!
