Izzi's Room

Of the three bedrooms, two are very nice size and then one is on the smaller side, Izzi chose the small one. The room is about 15 X 8 so to save space I got her a loft bed. It works out pretty well but I need to do a little adjusting to it. She only has about 2 ft of space between the mattress and the ceiling, so at some point here I am going to cut about 8" off the legs to give her a little more room.

The other key feature of her room is the "Fatboy". Iz wanted a beanbag chair and after much searching and surfing I finally found a shop that carried them. I ordered it from the shop and picked it up. You get a lot of strange looks from people when you carry a 2.5 x 2.5 x 4 ft box on public transport. Which brings me to an observation about the Swiss. Everyone uses public transport, everyone carries big things onto public transport, everyone else on public transport stares disapprovingly at the person carrying the big thing on public transport even though yesterday they carried their own big thing onto the public transport.

And now Izzi will describe her room in her own words:

I really like it, but when I have nightmares, I sit up and bump my head. I like the Fatboy, I like having a comfy place to sit and read in my own room. I like how the windows cover one wall and I like the fact the fact that I got the small room because it already seems pretty big. I want to paint it blue. I want my colors to be blue and orange because those are the color already there. The only thing I don't like is that people walk by window and can see in, but I don't want to close the curtains because then I can't see out. I like Switzerland a lot!
