We often receive awe-struck expressions when my three roommates
and I explain to guests that yes, we only have one bathroom, and it’s down the hall
to the left.
What the house lacks in practicality, it makes up for in character. Like laugh lines, the creaky stairs are evidence of life. The holes left in the walls once hung framed souvenirs of places appreciated and memories made. The mirror in the bathroom is no different. It's met hundreds of faces - the first time a child learned to brush his teeth, a Boston terrier terrified about her first bath, and four friends unsure of the future yet full of hope, ready to add holes in the wall of their own.
