Cool features

Ok, another house post.... this time about some of the cool features our house has.

Above is what I call the "gnome cubby." When D and I were looking at the house for the first time, we saw the double doors in the front hallway across from the front door and didn't know what to make of it. I, of course, knew immediately what it was for-- the gnomes!

See, when I lived on the Fifth Floor in South Hall at Simmons the lounge across the hall from me had a similar tiny door in the wall, which we called the gnome cubby and some days it was called the dwarf door.

Well, my house doesn't have any dwarfs except for myself so it is for gnomes. Actually, right now we use it as a place to stash our shoes so we don't ruin our brand new carpets. I'd like to think once we get a puppy or have kids it will become a fort.

Does your place have any cool/weird things about it that you just love?
