My house is quite large. It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen, a study, a living room, a dining room, a special games room and a big front and back garden.

My favourite room is my bedroom. I love it because it is the only room in my house where I can lock myself away from the rest of the world. After a long hard day, all I want to do is go up to my cosy bedroom and either listen to some mellow music, or lie down, unwind and watch a bit of T.V or maybe even a relaxing film. This room is very special to me because I have inhabited it for over fifteen years. It is a part of me. It is full of my personal possessions and it has been decorated with my fair hands.

So what does this special room look like? Well, it's quite big, but not huge. It's big enough to hold a double bed, which leans against the back wall of the room. There is a sofa bed, which leans against the left wall in the room. In front of the bed there is a dressing table with a large mirror. This is the place where I sit every morning and dry my hair and put on my make-up. Either side of the dressing table there are two wardrobes.

The wardrobe on the right is the one I use daily, the one on the left is full of disused toys, games, clothes and books. A bit messy! My television and video recorder are on a shelf above the dressing table. Also on this shelf, there is a selection of my favourite videos: Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing, and Austin Powers. On the left hand side of my bed, to the left of the door, there is a chest of draws and on top of the chest I have my stereo. Scattered around the room. I have photos of my friends and family. These photos bring back memories of happy times spent.
