1.I’m going to speak about my house.I’m going to tell you about my house. I’m going to describe my house. I live in a flat, with my partner and a friend from America. My flat is on the second floor.
When you go in, you can find a hall. On the right, there is a kitchen. Opposite the entrance door, there is a sitting room and on the left there is a corridor to the bedrooms and the bathroom.
The kitchen is small, but it’s OK for us. In the kitchen, there is a window. Its curtains are yellow. There is a cooker (UK) / a stove (US) and a washing machine. Opposite there is a fridge and a sink. In the middle, there is a white table and two white chairs. Oh, there are some cupboards, too! for pots and pans, dishes, and so on.
Next to the kitchen, there is a sitting-room and a dining-room. On the left, you can see the dining-room. There is a glass table and four black iron chairs. There is a piece of furniture with glasses and DVDs, and there are some pictures on the walls. On the right, you can find the sitting-room. It has a burgundy sofa and two green armchairs. Opposite the sofa is the TV set. I go to sleep in front of the TV after lunch! There are some plants and there is a big window. This room has a lot of light. I love it!
The first room is my office. There is no bed / There isn’t a bed. It has three bookcases and a lot of books. There is a desk and there is a personal computer on the desk. There is a printer, too. There is a CD player and a lot of music CDs. There are a lot of pictures -- family photos and photos with friends.
Next, on the left you can find P’s office. P is my partner. He is a teacher. He loves reading, so he has a lot of books. He loves playing the guitar, too – the Spanish guitar. There is also a computer.
The third room is our bedroom. There is a double bed, an in-built closet, a long mirror, and two bedside tables with small lamps. There are no pictures on the wall. It’s very simple.
Opposite this bedroom, there is a bathroom. It doesn’t have a window / It has no window and the walls are brown. I don’t like this. So I use orange towels! There is a toilet, a wash-basin, a bath tub and a mirror. It’s OK.
At the end of this corridor you can go upstairs. There is an attic. It’s very big and it has a lot of light. There are two single beds, for friends. There is a toilet, too. There is a computer and a music equipment. There are a lot of books and music CDs. Finally, there is a cupboard for the vacuum cleaner/hoover and for my painting equipment. I love painting!
Finally, my neighbors are OK. They sometimes make a lot of noise, but they also help us.
I love my house, but it isn’t mine! I’m renting it!
2. To start with the exterior. My dream house would be just outside of town on at least 50 or so acres. With a lot of trees surrounding the area, so it really feels like I have a ton of privacy. I definately want a brick house, because they are more stable when the tornadoes come! Since, when I build my dream house, it will be in tornado alley! [oklahoma]
Now, with the interior. I'm going to start with the kitchen. This is where I will spend most of my time because I absolutely love to cook. [hence the reason I'm going to school for culinary arts] I want my cabinets to make a U shape with an island in the middle. [it would be huge] I want cabinets with a maple finish, stainless steel appliances, and black granite countertops, with tile flooring.
For the livingroom, and pretty much the rest of the house I want all earth tone colors. I like for a place to feel warm, and cozy like I'm walking into a spa everytime I walk into my own home. The colors I'm thinking of are Olive/Sage Green, beige, different shades of brown, and a little bit of rustic red thrown in here and there. I will have lots of flowers and candles that will be lit a lot of the time. So it smells fantastic!
My closet is the number one thing in my house. I will have a huge walk-in with tones of shelving for my shoes and plenty of room for my clothes. [like you see on CRIBS on MTV]
Back to the exterior. I want a super big, L-shaped pool, with a rocky waterfall and a diving board for those who want to do crazy moves off of it. :] I also want a sound system setup outside for those super awesome crazy nights.
& I could seriously go more into detail about what I want... Bathrooms, dining room, etc... I already have this planned out. But I'll stop here && hope that you'll vote for me so I can get this scholarship!
