What is normal in your house that isn't in others?

DH has a whole ROOM of Lego

We also have a upstairs hall closet that is the game and puzzle closet

and our two guest rooms double as libraries - one fiction, one non-fiction

We have bookshelves in almost every room, minus the bathrooms.

No shoes allowed to be worn in the house, unless you have a medical need.

Most of the rooms have brightly colored paint on the walls, for instance my kitchen is a lovely Caribbean Turquoise, and my bathroom is the color of English Lavender. Our girls just painted their room Pink Limoncello.

We've just put down LVP and the two sets of stairs we have (tri-level house) have the same color wood tops as the floor, but the backings are each a different color of the rainbow.

My walls are covered in artwork. I mean covered, thru the whole house. The last time we moved it took me forever to pack all the frames. I know it looks like an art gallery exploded in my house but we love it. I have art that represents all the countries we lived in and visited

I’m finally getting better, but I have a lot of storage baskets, containers,etc. My DH joined the military in 1989, before internet shopping was easy. We lived in so many different places, having those storage containers were essential. I’ve managed to pare it down by telling myself I can pop into Dollar Tree at anytime but I do still have too many. Having a huge unfinished storage area in our basement makes it easy to to not parse them more

Shoes optional in my house.

Wall to wall tile that extends out to the back covered porch. No area rugs.

Huge double door pantry (ceilings in the house are 10’) that has games in the bottom 1/3, puzzles in the top 1/3, food and stuff as it fits around the games and puzzles and the middle 1/3.

A formal dining room that is actually a library/playroom. We don’t have a dining room and eat in the living room most of the time.

A pool table in the area that would be a dining room. The house is very open concept.

We all fend for ourselves for meals (kids are 8 and 12) for the most part. DH and I will offer to make more of whatever we’re eating for the kids. If they choose not to eat it, they’re on their own. We eat weird hours because of sports.

We have a “snack drawer” that is 12” tall by 36” wide by 20” deep. This contains prepared foods that the kids and their friends can have whenever. Usually has granola bars, mixed nuts, fruit bars, breakfast grad and go stuff.

If we had an extra room, we'd have a room for Lego, too.  Instead Lego just lives in 4 different rooms of our house, LOL!

I love this! I love color. Every once in awhile I go to Goodwill and browse the mugs for random bright colors. If I bring some home I donate (usually to my Buy Nothing group) some mugs from the cupboard.

I'd love to see a photo of your rainbow stairs!

It is apparently unusual in some places. We use our garage for cars. I think it is more common here because so many homes have basements and outbuildings for all the junk that ends up in garages of homes on smaller lots. I don't even want to talk about what is in my basement. I told myself when hot weather came, I would clean out the basement because it is cooler down there. Hot weather is here and where am I?

Anyway, one of my unusual things it that the coat closet is half full of coats and the other half is my collection of tablecloths. There is always one on the dining room table. There is another drawer in the kitchen full of cloth napkins. There are no paper plates or paper napkins in the house. I love a pretty table even if it is a bit more work.

My guest bedroom's closets are full of craft supplies. I keep the linens in boxes under the bed.  

Currently there are 4 vases of fresh flowers in the house. It's a bit much but my hydrangeas and glads are blooming and I'm going to enjoy them while I can.

I have a good dozen birdhouses in the backyard available. Never had one in a wreath. We do have mountain chickadees in one of the houses. Such a cute family.

Ask & ye shall receive.  ^.^  Also, Pongu Pongu Stark who was climbing the stairs for the first time.  ETA: this was prior to finishing the landing & caulking the steps properly.  Don't tell DH I posted an unfinished photo of his work.

Our house is so small that the kitchen has no room for the microwave. It is mounted under a cabinet above the dryer in the laundry room which is off the kitchen. The only three pronged electrical plugs (USA based) are for refrigerator, washer, dryer and stove. We just have never upgraded our electrical. My craft room is off the only bedroom and the original owner built it over the outdoor brick patio. How do we know? When we removed the carpet and padding there were the bricks! There is no longer a light in the hallway, but the light switch is there. Late MIL (who used to live here) put in a solar tube where the light fixture once was.

Those are the most fabulous stairs I have ever seen. 

Oh I love the rainbow stairs, that is so pretty!

I can't really think of anything very unusual here. I don't have a garage so I don't have storage space. Unfortunately that means one of the back bedrooms is generally in a state of emergency because stuff just tends to collect there before I deal with it. I am one person in a 3 bedroom house and I refuse to have "guest bedrooms" because no one ever stays with me. I have a craft room and and office. When I tell people that there is no empty bed and empty room just sitting they usually give me a weird look. But sorry, I'm not going to designate that much space to something that isn't needed!

I also proudly wear my shoes in the house and encourage others to do so if they need to. Foot comfort is of the utmost importance.

🤣🤣 If I'm ever in your area, wherever that is (I always assumed CA like Malibu, but also that you're fancy like malibou feathers), it's a date!

Yup, CA. Dh gave me the nickname Malibou when we first met. 4 years later we found ourselves living quite close to Malibu.
