The Blue Room

My right foot questionably steps onto the navy blue designed carpeted room and a rush of cool presses up against my skin. This room... this room could be the beginning of my future. That makes it terrifying, but exhilarating all at the same time. I force my trembling body to push through the nerves and my body straightens with confidence like a warrior entering his battleground. Cleanliness tickles my nose and my eyes are drawn to what looks like golden pillows on wheels. Intrigued, I take a seat. I feel like I have landed on a pillow from the heavens and comfort sweeps over me as I feel safe in a place of worry and anxiousness. I rest my beloved belongings on the smooth, brown, polished wooden table in front of me then begin taking in my surroundings as I listen to the other girl’s footsteps entering the room. Facing forward, I see nothing but a school of magnets swimming in a wide ocean of white. As I rotate my chair, I see nothing but the polar opposite; my vision fills with blackness as my eye’s attention are brought to a large TV hugging the wall. Brunettes and…

My dorm room looks like the many others at this academy, but it includes minute touches that make it uniquely mine. When I do a right face into my room the first thing that seizes my attention is the cleanliness and purity of the room, but still somehow manages to have that appearance of being worn and exhausted. The smell of Lysol smacks me right in the face along with the hint of mustiness in the air. In addition to the smell I hear the slight hum of the air condition running nonstop, which…

Around the room there are portraits, tables, chairs, and a billiard table placed directly in the center. The shape of the room is simplistic; it's rectangular with an opening in the back that seems to lead to another room. Besides that…

hallway of my room, a picture of my room, and a picture of my TV and hallway. In these three picture there is a story behind all of them describing what I was about to do. In picture one it is a picture of a man standing in a hallway with black and blue on. The man looks like he is holding his hand out to get something. His shoes are all black and have a silver thing on the shoe strings. There is a brown door behind him that has two long…

you don't look like the normal new yorker” I said “ I'm from Germany, I came through Ellis Island” , “great” he said cheerfully “ come with me”. He motioned his hand inside this building with big blue sign with red writing that said New York Newspaper. The walls was a cream colored like sand, the wood creaked as we walled down this hallway. We finally came to a room that said Mr. Garret. The room was kinda small but cozy, he told me to sit in the dark brown leather seats. “ do you want any…

on a 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…

The Blue Trailer Tromping up the wooden steps of our trailer, light blue paint chips off under my shoes. I swing open the front door and see the living room. Memories of family members sleeping over and birthday parties fill my mind. Carpet a light brown color, wallpaper that was at first white, but faded with age. The large TV takes up most of the room, along with the couch and leather chair. I turn left and see the dining table. At the end is a large, brown cabinet made for storing plates…

Interchangeable colors Tweens love color, so we gave the space a punch of fresh, invigorating color. Sometimes you…

home to compare to your furniture. Remember that it's easier and cheaper to buy new paint than it is to replace furniture to match the wall color. If you have a paint color you love that you really, really want in your home but it doesn't quite match your furniture, try adding pops of the same color as your walls in the form of throw pillows, rugs or other textiles. You should even consider painting just one wall, making it a feature wall, with your favorite color. Consider Neutrals Even if you…
