Le Cabanon

Alright, so the long-awaited photo house tour!!! Come along for the show, kids!
Welcome to Le Cabanon or La Maisonnette or Ma Sylvanie (the name painted next to the doorbell). This is the humble abode of Fay, Carmel, Claire, and Min. It is a 2-floor building. Now, don't you be scared. Step on up and come on in. Yes, our front door, and the door to our kitchen both have doorknobs in the CENTER of the door. I swear, it's like freaking Harry Potter. Take a look:If you come into our dark tiny foyer, you can go straight up the stairs to the bedroom upstairs where the lovely duo that is Fay and Carmel resides. However, we should leave them alone. Because it's not my room. But here is a picture of the stairs. Instead, let's turn to the right and pass through the doorway to our salon or living room! Cute, isn't it? Here is where we eat dinner and meals if we have guests over. Then, continue straight through another doorway into our lovely kitchen, we just spent 2 hours cleaning today. WOOHOO! We found all sorts of crazy kitchen tools that we'll definitely be busting out, such as a panini maker and an Asterix-shaped cake pan. Continue through the kitchen, the bathroom is on the left. Not interesting. And then the room of myself and Claire is straight ahead! Here it is. Very spacious, beautiful, clean, and if I don't say so myself, well decorated.
And then, here is a close-up of my bed where I go to sleep/write in my journal/am probably lying down if you're talking to me on the phone. This is the view from the window next to my bed from which you can see the front door to our lovely home and the window to the living room. Well, that's it for now! Hope you enjoyed the tour!

1. you weren't lying about the hobbit door. i had my doubts, but yes...it is for hobbits. if only it were circular, then i'd expect you to be homies with gandalf when i visit you.
2. i love your house and i've never even been there
3. are you allowed to paint the walls
3.a. if you are, you should paint them for fun
3.b. if you aren't, well..then at least you won't get dirty
4. i'm not sure if i told oyu this already but did you know that me and angus' flight out of marseille on january 3rd is the same flight? WOOOO
5. is the house warm in the wintertime? it looks cozy :)
6. i plan on sending you a postcard from cornell. mainly because it would be hilarious since you're in the most amazing location ever. but also because i imagined the postcard going through the hands of french people and them being like "ugly. ouai?"
