Room Description

Blog Prompt: Room by room... Pick a house you have lived in during the course of your life and give us a room by room description.

Since I have already told you about my “playroom”, I will tell you about my bedroom in the house that I grew up in on Long Island, New York. After my sister died when I began tenth grade, I moved out of the bedroom that I shared with her and moved into the smaller bedroom that my other sister used to sleep in before she got married. I was allowed to paint it any color or colors that you want so I painted one wall Kelly green and the other 3 walls a contrasting mint green. I couldn’t believe my parents let me do this. My twin size bed was on the right against the wall. There was an end table for my lamp, alarm clock, and a place for my book and glasses. On the opposite wall from my bed was this ceiling high wall to wall wooden bookshelf that my father which had a spot for my black and white TV. There was also a leaf that opened up into a desk beside the TV. This room was my sanctuary when teenage angst got too much for me. I slept in this room until I left for college three years later.
