Room Description

                This is a descriptive piece that I attempted to create which would provide you with a clear visual of my room as seen when you walk into it. I hope it will suffice as my teacher asked for a piece of descriptive writing. However I have altered some details because I was uncomfortable with posting an exact replica of my room.

                You walk into the doorway and turn to flip on the light switch on the wall to your right. Above this is a 10”x12” picture of a car parked on a beach with surfboards strapped to its roof. You step into the room and are greeted by a 55 gallon aquarium within which swims a 14” shark. This tank rests on top of an old dresser made out of walnut that has six drawers (two columns of three) and above the tank is a shelf decorated by 22 trophies and several dozen medals. On either side of the shelf is a picture drawn by me, one of an eagle and one of a wolf both of which were drawn in a sort of tribal design. On the wall opposite the door and the closet is a desk, offset to the left slightly so it would be directly across from the door. This is cluttered with college brochures and SAT prep booklets. In the corner of the room between my desk and my dresser is a bulletin board which has photos and two boutonnieres from proms hanging from it. Under this are a half dozen pairs of shoes/ flip flops for various occasions. On the wall adjacent to that which the bulletin board hangs, two more shelves hang. These are filled with souvenirs from past vacations and on the other side of my desk hang an identical pair of shelves. Upon these rest childhood nick-knacks and family photos. Between these two sets of shelves and behind my desk are two large twin windows that look into my backyard. On the next wall, if you were to continue to turn in a clockwise motion, is a queen sized bed whose head board rests under a massive poster which is displayed in a tapestry sort of style. This poster is of another beach which remains empty aside from a surfboard rack. To the left of the bed is a night stand with a lamp, a clock, and two books sitting upon it. Finally in the last wall is my closet which usually has the beach themed curtains drawn closed but above the closet are two more drawings from my early elementary school years. These are of a parrot and a lighthouse and between these hang an ancient gold and jade knife that I brought back from Turkey.
