Bring on the Night

As mentioned in the post before, we moved to a new house recently. Our old one was a tiny row-house with little room and possibly even smaller garden. We really needed more space with one kid and another one on its way.

We moved in about 14 days ago and we’re both pretty happy with the house. Its has everything we dreamed of: A good garden, a bigger living room, better kitchen, extra rooms and so on.

What I like, is the big garage. I’m not sure how it works in other parts of the world, but here a garage is used your car, your tools/garden equipment and storing whatever stuff, that can handle temperature drops. Its sort of an unofficial “man’s domain” here in Denmark if you will.

C on the other hand, considers the garage part of the house, as she would other rooms for living. Not that she want to live there, but she’d like it to be presentable with well-looking interior and only used for the car. Not sure it’s a Denmark vs. China thing, but I suspect so.

She has a semi-valid point though. Our house differs from most, since the original main entrance is gone (made part of a bigger bathroom). So we basically just have one way in; through the garage. This means guests have to put up with how it looks. C doesn’t like that and wants a new room added inside the garage, so no one can see our “sorted mess” on their way in.

Initially my gut reaction was to fight for the garage to be just that, but I also see Cs point of view. Its still way down on the to-do-list after the move, so I cross my fingers for her to forget all about it. So now who’s the naïve one?
