Dear Dr. Ferry,

Following is our suggestions to add to the Cultural Treasure Hunt in the
area of Home Furnishings:

1. Remote Control
	Used to easily use electronic equipment such as tv's, vcr's, and
compact disc (cd) players.

2. Fish Tanks
	Used not only as a home for pet fish, but also as a decorative
display for everyone to admire.

3. Carpet
	Found on the floor in most rooms in a home for comfort on the
feet, warmth, and also for decoration.  Not usually found in the bathrooms
or in the kitchen.

4. Family and Living Rooms
	These are two rooms in the home which are usually both furnished
with couches and loveseats (a small couch big enough for two people).  The
difference between the two rooms is that the family room is usually fancy
and only used when guests come over, whereas the living room is used on a
regular basis.

5. Entertainment Systems
	These are typically wooden shelves in which the tv, vcr, stereo,
vcr tapes, compact discs, and speakers are located in one unit.  

6. Electric Blankets
	These are blankets used typically in the winter time which are
electrically equipped to be plugged in and used for warmth.

7. Decks
	These are typically wooded platforms that extend either on the
outside of the front or the outside of the back of the house.  They can
either be on the first or the second level of the house.  Decks are used
as a place to relax or even to have a picnic or barbecue.

8. Hot Tubs/Jacuzzi's
	These are found either in a large bathroom or even on the deck of
a house.  They are like a small pool which are heated and used for
pleasure and relaxation.

9. Adjustable Beds
	These beds are adjustable so that a person's back can be propped
up to their desired height typically used while reading or watching tv in
bed.

10. Bean Bag Chair
	These are rounded bags filled with beans that serve the purpose of
a chair.  They are placed on the floor and when you sit in them, it seems
as if the chair is taking the shape of your body.

11. Husbands
	These are pillows usually on the bed used to make it comfortable
to sit up and they have sides where you can rest your arms on.
	
12. Dog Doors
	A dog door is a square hole in the bottom of the back door of a
home with a flap over it so that pet dogs can come in and out without
disturbing their owners.
