Shay’s home looks like the one on the left. The cottage on the right was built in the 1700’s. This one room contains kitchen, bedroom and living room. Notice how they dry their socks and dish towels by the fire. Dishes sit on an open shelf. The bed is on the left, and table and chairs—off screen—are on the right. Notice how thick the stone walls are by the window in Shay’s home. Dishes still sit on an open shelf, but Shay’s home has modern conveniences.
