Gwen's House in Diebougou

After months and months of waiting I am finally ready to showcase my house here in Burkina Faso. It is really hard to understand how much space I have with this photos but I tried to capture it.

This photo is taken from my bedroom door out into my mini hallway and the pink room to the left is my wash room (where I take bucket baths) and the room ahead with the writing is my spare bedroom.

My spare bedroom with a chair. The writing on the wall is a fortune cookie quote that my sister Jen sent me in a letter.


Another angle of my spare bedroom. This cot is for guests and I hung a mosquito net up to be put down at night.

This is my petit hallway off of my big living room. Straight ahead is my wash room (pink). The door way to the left goes into my bedroom and the door way to the right goes into my spare bedroom. Photo collages on the walls of course




My shower room where I take my bucket baths. I bought a child's chair to hold all my bathing things.





My bedroom (photo taken from the door). That mattress is decieving!!! It SUCKS!!!






Another angle of my bedroom


In my bedroom, photo taken from my dresser.


Looking out into the hallway from the window/bed in my bedroom.


My grand living room. This photo is taken from the back of the room looking at my front door and the exit to my house. To the left is my water tube where I store my water and then my filter and caniry for drinking water.


This photo of my living toom is taken from my hallway and looks at my far wall. This is my seating area and my wall of photos. My kitchen is to the left far wall.



The back wall of my house, which is kitchen central. The wall is painted with french foodie words.

The left side of my living room, photo taken from the front door. In the front is my movie theatre (computer) and book shelf.


Another angle of my living room/kitchen.

Another angle, this one of my kitchen.

A Ghandi quote for inspiration


A look at my petit hallway taken from the living room.

Here is a replacement canteen. This is what was stolen from my house in January. Huge, blast those theives.

A look inside my canteen. This is where I store my food goods, preventing animals to eat them, sometimes does a good job. I still find surprises.

Bart the Bat who lives in my spare bedroom. I have not seen him though since April.
