Small downstairs bathroom equipped with coat hooks for coming in through the back door on a rainy day. 7. Office. The first room I thought of. I’ve given myself a small office, largely designed for daydreaming and counter productivity - it’s centered around a nap-sized window seat, the bottom of which will be filled with blankets and books. 8. Living room. A small living room, to be centered around the fireplace (which will be the kind that works with both gas and natural logs, depending on…

approached the door he flicked the locked, laughing and locking me out. His mom tapped him on the hand and he unlocked the door pushing it open allowing me to enter into the house. As I walked through the door he ran to his room. Dilan peaked around the corner and runs back into the living room and hugs me saying “Hey, what you doing at my house?” I don’t answer, just smile and take a seat on the couch. He then runs into the kitchen grab a juice from the fridge. He comes back and sit beside me…

But the photos were taken in a specific room in each home, the bedroom. A bedroom is defined online as “a reflection of one’s personality, as well as social class, and is unique to each person. However there are certain items that are common in most bedrooms - beds.” A bed is defined online as “a piece of furniture used as a location to sleep or relax,” but it’s up to us as humans to decide what it is we do in our bedrooms and who we allow to be in our rooms.

and had to do it twice and told me to stay off my foot the rest of the day. It was a challenging experience for me to get around in a wheelchair and do my daily activities. I had to cook dinner for the family. Luckily, my kitchen is right off the living room. I was able to wheel myself into the kitchen and make food. Unfortunately, it had to be food that went in the oven to make it easy. I had to enquire for assistance to turn on the oven. I was able to use a wooden spoon to knock down the oven…

is no nameplate on his desk and no diplomas of any kind on the walls. He has some books on shelves, but his office is disfigured by out of place hunting “trophies.” There is a mounted deer head behind his desk, a stuffed wolf in the corner of the room, and large mounted fish on the wall. This place looks like the Bates Motel from Psycho. Sitting across from him is Brennan. He is a 26 year old man who is dressed in a nice suit with a brightly colored shirt, but without a tie.
