My Bedroom


As I open the door, an explosion of vibrant colors catches my eye. The contrasting orange and maroon walls encase your body like a comforting blanket. I immediately feel at ease as I creep further inside. Surrounding me, are random strokes of plaster that texture the walls, and swirls of paint pop out as if they are asking me to touch them.

The lighting is dim and relaxing, and is careful not to blind the eye. Starbucks style lamps hover above the right side of the room; spaced just enough so that three can stretch across the cathedral ceiling. Just underneath sits a distorted, driftwood bed frame, which encases a plum colored, feather pillow-top comforter.

To the right of the bed, stands a ladder leading step by step to a plush loft with low pillow surrounded walls for a comforting couch-like feel. The nook is finished off with safety cable wire strung strategically through several posts.

The entire sanctuary type room is decorated in a safari theme. Enormous paintings and pictures of elephants and giraffes hang on the walls. On the opposing side of the bedroom a six-foot tall ancient plant finishes the look and feeling of the room. Its long glistening leaves engulfed in a deep green hang from its lengthy stumps. As I walk barefoot across the hardwood floor back towards the door, even the creaking wood has a relaxing tone.
