SchwarzHaus

I'm moving to Milford!

Here's a picture of the house.

It needed a name. Ray et al. had already started calling it the palace in email conversations.... because it looks so frekin' big from the photos.

Fair enuf, it does have 2 kitchens, we joked that one could be for the servants... (but seriously if anyone does have spare servants I wouldn't mind!)


To be in keeping with the current flat naming theme (colour + noun) eg: Green Pub, White Lady, Minty Fresh... we thought we should wack a colour in front of palace
Peach Palace
Purple Palace
Pink Palace
all ruled out for being too ghey!

Champagne Palace
was pretty popular (yes champagne is a valid colour choice, Subaru makes champagne cars don't you know?!) but the hoegaarden was flowing freely so we figured we could come up with something better...

Silver Palace -rame!
The Milf -ewww! but they thought the could improve on this by changing the acronym
Midget Incrusted Lavender Fort -umm... I'm not really a midget! and Lavender should only be used when referring to the plant (good call James)

The Shaved Badger
The Shaved Panda -no comment

Smash Palace -This one's awesome, I love it although the validity of Smash as a colour is contentious.

So then we started chucking around some colours...
fuchsia, yellow, blue, green (taken), white(also taken).... what about white things?
Snow Palace
Ice Palace
Ice Fort
all very appealing to the skier within!

So then somebody came up with the idea of Art Haus and the hunt was on for a colour that rhymed with Art. Fart is NOT a colour! Until our English colour chart was exhausted and we had to search other languages. Rouge (too Moulin!), vert (nope, green is already taken), what about german colours.... well I tell you, no one knows much German! In fact the only German colour we managed was schwarz (black) and wouldn't you know it, Schwarz Haus, sounds pretty darn close to Art Haus... when pronounced in (bad) German accent!

SchwarzHaus! and thus we were named.


PS-Contact me if you're looking for a room in Milford, we've still got a couple of spares! :)
