Last week we moved to a new house. My father has been promoted to chief executive position and the company has allotted us a bigger house. It has five rooms, both of us, my older brother and I, got our separate rooms. My brother’s room is smaller than mine and also at the very last corner of the house. Mine is exactly beside the dining hall. My room is unique as compared to everyone else’s room in the house because of the wooden floor, queen size bed, and two large windows.
The floor in my room is wooden, and it creaks when stepped on. The floor is not made of original wood, but rather with make belief wooden tiles. Though these wooden tiles look worn out in some places, it gives a clean outlook. Moreover, I have covered the worn-out part of the floor with one white plush carpet that has covered the entire center area. The carpet is rather clean-looking, considering it is white and that it is not washed regularly. On the left side of the carpet near the door is a leather chair, which is of no particular use, besides hanging half-used clothes on it. Strangely, the right corner of the floor has flower-printed tiles, which give a very odd look initially, but now I have placed my study table above it to hide it completely.
From center-left to far-left is my queen-size bed, with white and grey covers, and white and other colors for the blanket. The blanket in particular has a floral design and is heavy. My pillow has a white case and nothing else to it. The frame of the bed is wooden and beige in color. The backside of the bed is around 3 and a half feet tall, it has an intricately carved floral pattern.
Above, to the right of the bed, is a narrow-elongated window, which allows one to view the sky and the neighbor’s fence. On the sill, there is a candle lamp, which I never use. I can often find dead insects on the sill as well, such as flies. The second window about 5 feet tall is at the left corner of the room, it has a sliding glass pan, and even when the glass pan is completely locked, the wind gets in from the frames of the window. It gets really cold in winter because the fog also seeps in little by little through the tiny broken part of window frames. The windows have sea-green glass pans that do not make a good impression of my room, neither they match with maroon curtains hanging in front of them.
My room is small but I love having my own space, I have planned to collect pocket money to spread a carpet on the entire floor, I would request my father to change the glass of windows with transparent glass panels, and I like the bed as it is. I am really thankful for what I have.
