I open and close the curtains; my husband draws them. I call the small room containing the toilet....the toilet. My husband calls it the WC. Quaint?

I open and close curtains too. It's more specific! I'm never quite sure how to use the verb "draw" in a window furnishings context- does it mean opening them, closing them, or returning them from either state to the other?

I call the smallest room the loo, DP calls it the lavatory.

Yes he uses the verb draw for opening and closing. As an artist it messes with my brain if he asks me to draw them! I wonder if it has anything to do with the drawing room.
