When I was 10 years old, I was moved to a new house. This house was very beautiful, and my room is beautiful, too!
When I opened the door, I could hardly believe what I saw. Had my wish come true? The room painted pink is my room! It is lighter and it also has a wide window from where you can see the mountains and a country landscape. It has a very big balcony with a view at the sea. There are many nice pictures hunging from the wall. In one side, there is a huge bed covered by a patchwork cover, and small lamp on the bedside table. There not only a table, a desk with a computer but alsao a TV. My guitar and the piano are in the corner of the room and there are many colour lights in the ceiling. There is a small white rug on the wooden floor and plenty of books are on the shelves opposite to the bed.
Thanked to my parents that building for me a nice room!
