House Tour – Bedroom

Although this has nothing to do with our ministry, we thought we would do a series of posts (sporadically) on what our home looks like, and specifically pointing how it looks different than yours. We hope you enjoy the series and get a better idea of what it is like to live in another country.

Above: Our bedroom.

Our bedroom consists of a double bed, a night stand, and a built in closet/chest of drawers (kind of like what is in some dorm rooms). Pretty simple, but pretty different.

- The bed has no box spring, just a mattress on wooden planks. Although it is hot here and there is no A/C, we have a two blankets on our bed because it gets pretty chilly at night.

- The reason it gets chilly is the window, which is always open. It has no screen, just like every other window in our house.

- Although Lucy is almost a year and a half, we still have a monitor for her (on Lindsey’s bedside table). Even though our house is small, we almost never here her because of all the street noise.

- Below are some pictures of Lucy we have above our bed. When we moved in our house had nothing on the walls, and though we’ve searched high and low, we can’t find any sort of 8×10 picture frame, so we finally broke down and stuck our pictures directly to the wall. Having pictures up has really made our bare apartment look like home.

Although our bedroom is sparse and our bed is hard, it has worked out pretty well for us. The breezes keep us cool and the blankets keep us warm at night. So although not at all like home, it has become our home.
