Names!
So, we are moved in to our new home, or at least we have all of our stuff here even if the vast majority of it is still in boxes.
In between the unpacking and furniture assembling and trying to decide what goes where, we have been finding names for the various rooms and places in the house - so we can both refer to them quickly and unambiguously.*
We’re trying for more interesting names than “The guest room”, so this is what we have so far:
* We work in IT, these things are important to us
** Literally translated, they are “play cottages”, a bit more than a shed

We’re trying for more interesting names than “The guest room”, so this is what we have so far:
- the Garret (mentioned before, the small attic room with the low ceiling)
- the West Wing (which will be Mark’s study)
- the North Bedroom (which is the main guest room)
- the Fortress of Solitude (a platform in the master bedroom which we will hopefully use as a kind of reading nook)
- the Grey Room (my study which also doubles as the second guest room)
- Hypochondriac’s Corner (probably temporary name, the corner of the kitchen where currently all our medicines are stocked)
