The House

So, family and friends, here are some house photos. Explanations follow each photo.


This is looking from the living room through the kitchen, with our bedroom at the far end. We chose a flooring that was a reddish wood colour, to match the red dirt around the house! The orange thingy in the top left is a patchwork doo-dad hanging on the back of the front door. The ceiling is slanted, and for some reason that makes the hall look weird, though it isn't!


This is from the hallway looking into the living room. The kitchenette (china cabinet) is one of my favourite things in the house! Each set of windows has a higher smaller window above it- lots of light to make the small house seem airy.



Guest room/second bedroom, aka where I keep my teaching stuff. On an unrelated note, we are not on mains water, so we are economical with our rainwater (considering we live in desert, the rainwater is scarce!)


Bathroom/laundry/fish rug. Gigantic sink. We use our grey water from the washing machine to water the trees and grass out the back, so we use low-sodium environmentally friendly detergent.

Bedroom. Dave assembled the ikea bed. There is a large dresser and built in robe you can't see in this photo.
