Single room occupancy

Entering a hospital gives off the ambiance of unnatural. The walls are this eggshell yellow, and the tiles are cracked from time, despite the constant repairing. Everything is so silent, saved for the heavy footsteps of nurses walking quickly up and down the halls. It smells like dust, and sometimes I wonder if a hospital is a place where time just doesn’t move. It’s like you’re launched back into the past, and suddenly you’re stuck in a world that isn’t like your own. I mean, that’s what it's…

Pre-K class room at a local Kinder Care Learning Center around 4:30pm in the afternoon. During this time the teachers are preparing the children to leave for the day. The class room was set up to show that the kids were preparing for regular school and not just spending their entire day napping and singing songs. The room had about 6 windows that allowed a lot of natural light, there were 2 square tables with at least 6 little chairs at each table, and a small round blue table. The room was…

street. We stayed there for three nights and four days. The scary part for us when we were in the lobby and we found out what a Hostel hotel was, we then heard that the rooms were dormitory style with bunk beds, for example if there were 4 of us in a room and we had a total of 6 beds, this meant that 2 strangers could stay in our room. We also had to share a bathroom with the entire 4th floor and shared a kitchen area to cook our meals. These hotels are known to be cheap. It was 8:30 at…

Symbols of status and power, beds are recorded as valuable piece of furniture in various household inventories during the 17th century. As one walks into the sumptuous period bedroom of Palazzo Sagredo, Venice immediately observes the elaborate leaf like pattern stuccowork on the ceiling; putti (cupids) bearing garlands of flowers joyfully fly about the space ornamenting the ceiling and walls. The compelling fresco work, inner chamber dome, and fluted Corinthian columns draws further attention.…

I felt like a prisoner in my own mind. I was up from my desk before the bell even began to ring. Lunch was the only remedy preventing me from slapping everybody in the classroom. Students started to flood the hallways, eagerly making their way to the cafeteria. I couldn’t wait any longer to leave this prison. Thankfully, spring break was only half a day away. Because school was nearly out, students were getting rowdy and a little too excited. I immediately met up with my best friends Neil and…

One month soon turned into two and there still seemed to be no progress made. Surprisingly, this didn't bother Jungkook as much as it did before. In fact, he had grown accustomed to the noise from above and often fell asleep while eavesdropping on the couple's conversations.The late-night conversations and banging cupboards had become a white noise that helped lul Jungkook into a deep sleep. Which is why he felt uneasy one fateful night when a silence fell over the apartment. There wasn't the…

eye that comes together in her concept of keep it bright and light for spring. “A good tip is to change the light bulbs from florescent to LED, and add some color with a lamp or lampshade,” says Thomas. “A white lampshade can transform your whole room interjecting airiness.” Refreshing for spring can be as cheap as rearranging the livingroom furniture making it feel like a whole, new space. Updating the pillows in lighter weight fabrics, like cotton and linen, with floral patterns or stripes,…

The room itself was grand and ancient, with walls of rough hewn stone, polished granite floors, and a ceiling as high as ten men. There were eight long tables, the shortest on a raised dais along the far wall, and seven more set orthogonal to the first and extending to the entry. Sheaves of wheat and sprays of spring blooms adorned the walls, and cornucopias spilled fruits, nuts and candies onto each table. There were dancers, at least a dozen of them, draped loosely in silks of gold and rich…

around eight o clock we came off the plane, got our bags, and we got our rental car and went to the Nickelodeon hotel. When we arrived at the hotel and it looks breathtaking. I couldn’t wait to see everything that the hotel had to offer. We went in the room, and my mom and dad told me and my brother to go to the pool. We were having a lot of fun until the people that worked there started to play games. I was choosing to be a contestant. The game was to say,…
