Rooms

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Country Families : One Thread

Do any of you have interesting names for your rooms? On another thread I mentioned the 'closet room' and I got to wondering. Here we have the 'everything room' which will be where Gary has his music studio, the extra bed for grandkids, the videos and who knows what else. We also have the sports room where Gary and his brother watch two football games at one time. We have a couple more but haven't quite settle on the names/uses yet,

I call our bathroom the yard because I painted it green with a white picket fence and painted pots of sunflowers long the fence and stenciled butterflys around. It looks like the front yard LOL. I told my husband I did it because he would rather use a tree than a toilet LOL but I did not paint a tree because I did not want him hitting the wall LOL. It was alot of fun and everyone gets a big kick out of it. One room should have some whimsie.

We have an "extra" room-it gets used more than any other room. It is lined with books, it holds our computer, it has a pull-out futon and its is a designated quiet room-no t.v. radio. So we refer to it as "the library", "the Study" "The office" the "Guest Room" "The sick room" "The computer room"-what ever we plan to do in that room. Everyone here knows what we are talking about, but I got a luagh when a teacher at school, who had not visited our home said"just how many rooms do you have in your house anyway?"

We don't have any rooms like that but my inlaws built on a big "all purpose" room. What do they call it? The BIG room of course!

When I was a kid we had a room at the top of the steps that was called the first room. Never gave it any thought, but it is an unusual name.

We also had attic rooms that stuck out from the main part of the house , my wife dubbed these wing rooms, because they stuck out on either side of the house. Strange name, but it stuck as long as we lived in the house. Even now we talk about them and people give us rather odd looks because they have no idea what a wing room is.

Talk to you later.
