Creative Writing #1 - My Bedroom


                My bedroom is definitely not like something you would see in a home décor magazine. I feel like if I did have something like that, I would be scared to touch anything since it’s all so polished and put together. So I guess it’s alright not having the fanciest setting. I don’t have to worry about keeping it in order and feeling uncomfortable.

            When you first walk in through the tall door, the first thing you’ll probably notice is my un-made bed against a lavender wall. The contrasting black and white bedspread is never placed on it properly and the violet and white pillows look like they have been thrown out of a hurricane that flew over my bed. Beside it is a wooden nightstand with a white vintage lamp resting by the wall. I usually have my phone playing my favourite Beatles or Ed Sheeran album, and a cup of peppermint tea (my addiction) to sip on the refreshing taste and leave a slight aroma in the air. On the same wall, there is a huge window ledge seat that is piled with pillows, blankets, and even a velvet, soft bear I got on my first birthday. The area is painted a dark shade of purple complimenting the lavender, and making the white lace curtains stand out. A small wooden bookcase is placed right beside it making it the perfect reading nook, and it’s defiantly my favourite part of my room. I have a lot of floor space, covered in soft white carpet, which is often a dissaray of dance shoes (which I trip over too often), pillows that never made it to my bed, and my school bag that always finds a new place to hide. On the opposite wall facing the window ledge, there I have my large closet that I always keep closed in fear of a clothing avalanche if opened. And lastly, like any other teenage girl, I have a desk as a makeshift vanity cluttered with makeup and miscellaneous beauty products. Below it, there are lots of burn marks on the ground from many times of forgetting to turn off my curling iron before going to school (oops), but the mess of random hair tools seem to cover it just fine! 
            My bedroom is surely nothing out of the ordinary, but I love it just the way it is. Small, comforting, and a relaxing place to be.

  1. That was very descriptive! just reading it I could picture kinda what your room would look like! I like how you added just the smallest details like the burn marks from your curling Iron being left on, on your desk.

  2. I really like how you used "hurricane that flew over my bed". It is such an impacting statement. I makes it seem wild and messy!
    I also like "complimenting the lavender". It has such great synesthesia. It makes it seem thoughtful and sophistacted.

  4. I really liked it when you said that you bag always finds a new place to hide, it was a great use of personification.
