The Kitchen

It’s called Cook’s Essentials. My mom bought it for us from QVC. Despite that, it’s held up well. We don’t do enough cooking to warrant All-Clad or Calphalon.
Do you have an "eat in" kitchen?
Yes. We have a table and chairs, but we never eat there.
What kind of flooring do you have?
Beige tile.
Do you keep pictures on your refrigerator?
Only a couple, both of Olivia… ironically, we have too many magnets to be able to hang very many things (Red, is that proper use of irony? Incongruity between what you’d expect and what actually is?)
What is your favorite thing in the kitchen?
The lazy-Susan cabinet.
The Bedroom

Four.
How many beds are in your bedrooms?
One in the master, one in the guest room, and Olivia’s crib.

Hardwood, carpet in the guest room.

The bed!
The Bathroom

A dryer and a flatiron.

No.
Do you have doors or a shower curtain? What kind of shower curtain?
Shower curtain. It’s cream and made of crinkly sheer fabric, with two big horizontal panels of lace.
Is there a phone in your bathroom?
No, but there is a jack. Maybe we’ll put one in as a conversation piece, and then call our guests while they’re in there.
What is your favorite thing in your bathroom?
It would probably be the Jacuzzi tub, but I’ve never used it. So I’ll say the double vanity… his and hers sinks and tons of storage.
Misc.
Do you have a garage? If so, what's in there?
Yes. The lawnmower, old paint cans, my bike, some boxes, my grandmother’s tea cart (which I must rescue), the ceiling fan we keep intending to have installed, the recycling, the garbage bins, snow shovels, rakes, a bag of fertilizer and some random house parts like gutters, screens, etc.
Do you have a yard? If so, do you have any flowers/landscaping?

I think the most ironic turn of events would be if the magnets started using you to hold up their crap.
That's definitely unexpected. I wonder if magnets are capable of hyperbole and onomatopoeia too...?
