My Favorite Room

When I get off the bus and run up the driveway I am filled the eagerness of going to my living room.  The steps blow by me and I hop down the hall.  As I walk into my living room I am greeted with the familiar sights and noises that the room accompanies.  The big glass sliding door fills the room with light.  My brothers cheerful voice really lightens my mood.  I am now ready for fun.

 

Our living room looks like a great place.  Directly to the right of the entrance there is our toy chest.  It is was made light wood, of a yellowish color, and is filled to the brim with toys.  Just beyond the toy chest is a futon.  It is made of a red mattress bent on a wooden frame.  There are four pillows, two at each end.  After a long day of school I love to just lie there for a while.  In the corner of the room, behind our sofa, is a bookshelf crammed with chapter books.  To the left of that there is the big fireplace that lies on the north side of of our living room.  Jutting out from the bottom of the fireplace there is big flat rock that serves as a small table.  When we hold a meeting at our house we light the fire and its warmth warms all.  

 

To the left of that there is my parents cloth painting that they got from Africa.  The west wall is taken up mainly by our big glass sliding door.  At night it provides an excellent view of sunsets and stargazing.  Our computer is located just to the left of the sliding door and in the southwest corner of the room.  It is used for watching movies, checking the weather, and my mom’s email account.  Most of the wall to the left of our computer are small picture-book shelves and above them are some paintings my grandmother made.  On the floor of the room are two chairs, one red and one white, and some board games and legos.  The rug is a whitish color but usually it is spotted with brown from dirt.  The ceiling has thee fluorescent light bulbs each covered with a glass protective shell.  That pretty much sums up our living room.

 

In our family’s living room many things happen.  First there is the board games we play.  I am a big fan of games like chess and stratego and our living room is the perfect place for playing.  We like to sit on the soft rug and listen to music coming from a CD player by our computer as we play.  For me, music helps me think.  We also have legos in our  living room.  We spread out a sheet and dump the bucket down out.  Legos are a fun way to play for everyone.  Even just lying there on the sofa in our living room can really comfort me.

 

When friends come over we spend most of our time together in our living room when we are not outside.  It just is a good place to be.  The mood of the room makes people feel happy and relaxed.  That is why it is my favorite room in our house.
