Cool Window

We are out of the boxes and starting to decorate, I've cooked a few meals on the stove and done about 7 loads of laundry- I think we are officially moved in. :) I still feel a tinge of sadness when I see my old red door though.

It does not get much more exciting than this y'all....a bathroom window.

When the window is closed, the handle is pointed down. If you turn the handle half-way, it tilts open like this to let air in...



If you rotate the handle all the way up, the whole window opens...



It is damp here in this country so it's nice to be able to tilt that window open while taking a shower so the bathroom does not get all wet and soggy.

And I think that is pretty cool.

And while we are talking about windows, I whipped up a little black curtain that covers our dragon window in the hallway and Marc has agreed to put it up every night. I asked him if he realized that was a big commitment- every night for however long we lived here and it means climbing part of the stairs since it's not easy to reach and he said he was up to it. So, I sewed it together and it hangs on a tension rod to cover up Mr. Dragon...not only does he shine bright in the mornings, but there is a street light right outside and it is lit up at night and it shines right on my face- our bedroom is directly across from the window. It apparently does not bother Marc since he's on the other side of the bed but I just could not cope with seeing that all night. So, we have solved our problem. I sewed the curtain and he committed to hanging it every night for me. :) He's good like that. :)
