Quirky

Everyone's a little quirky-that's what makes us great! I've found that everywhere I live is a little quirky as well.  I thought I'd share a few quirks from our new home that I love & a couple that make me batty!

Can you tell what this one is?  It's just a little thing, something I never would have thought of, but have come to LOVE!   It's one of the light switches in our master bathroom.  It glows in the dark.  I love it.
I realized its worth was golden the first night we lived here and it was a  beacon guiding me across the darkness.



This is our shower head in the master bathroom, we thought it was odd when we moved in, we really weren't so sure we'd like it.  It doesn't quite have the power we're used to, but it's great for rinsing off.  The jury is still out on this little quirk.

This one had me stumped when we first moved in, I wasn't sure what it was even for, but once the light bulb switched on it was like I heard a chorus of angels singing.  Being from Arizona we are used to drinking gallons of water-literally.  We made regular runs to our local "Water & Ice" shop for refills.  This handy little line coming from the wall makes those trips a thing of the past (a good thing-I haven't seen a "Water & Ice" anywhere!).  It's a water line that fills up our water dispenser without any trips to the store, or even any hassle from me-at all!  And, there is a double filtration system built into the house so our water tastes great!


This is another one that had us stumped when we first moved in.  We found it in a kitchen drawer, and I couldn't quite figure it out.  Then came the handy light bulb & I realized it's a remote for the sprinkler system.  Brillant!  Why have I never even heard of this before?  Oh, the times I could have used this in the heat of the Arizona summer-or in the midst of a Monsoon season downpour!



 Need one light switch? How about two?  Double switches in nearly every room in the house-one for the light, one for the fan.  So handy-especially for Sage who was constantly asking her big brothers (or me) to come and turn off or on her fan.

 This is the fireplace in our basement.  It's gas, and is the heat source for the basement family room and kitchen area  (yes, the basement has it's own kitchen-another quirk common to newer Utah homes).  I love a good fireplace, makes everything seem cozy.  This one has a fabulous blower that really warms up the space in no time.

 For the most part the paint in our new home is very easy to live with-neutral and goes with anything.  I loved that for the most part, no need to invest a lot of time and energy making a temporary home feel livable.  In two of the bedrooms the former residents decided to add some flair of their own.  This is Kiefer's Room:

This is Quinn's:

Can you guess which one I've been nailing down paint colors to repaint?
