Secret Room

My room at home in Omaha is positioned at the end of an extremely long hallway.  The hallway consists of five bedrooms, two of which are my brothers’.  I’m located on my own end of the house, away from my brothers’ bedrooms or bathrooms.  When walking into my room, you have no doubt it is a girls room.  The walls are light blue with clean, white trim that lines the entirety of my room.  Being a corner room, there are two long lines of windows that bring in a good amount of sunlight each day.  Bordering one line of windows are two tall built-in bookshelves with a build-in bench.  The bench connects the two bookshelves and has three large pullout drawers under it that houses many crafts and miscellaneous items.  The other wall of windows is set back in a nook.  In that part of my room is another, shorter, bookshelf, a large light-yellow chair, and a tall floor lamp.  The chair used to be an unpleasant tan color, but was reupholstered a few years ago.  Good thing! Moving on, my queen-sized bed is on the wall right across from the two tall bookshelves.  I have a white wicker nightstand on one side of my bed, and pretty much dead space on the other side.

One little unknown fact about my home is that there are secret doors hidden in each bedroom.  Mine happens to be located in my walk in closet.  When you walk into my closet, you notice four built-in sections for my clothes, and two dresser-type storage compartments.  If you shut the door behind you, you will see a tiny door on the wall.  It looks like a normal door, but just miniature.  You have to crouch way down in order to enter it, but once you get past that, there is a large, high-walled room.  This used to be my hideout when I was little.  My friends and I would sit in there and talk, or play games, or even do homework!  It is complete with air-conditioning and beanbags!

The rest of my room does not compare to the secret room – for it has an antique dresser and desk set.  My mom actually used it when she was a young girl!

The overall feel of my room is pretty homey.  Especially on rainy days, I love curling up in my bed and listening to the rain trickle down the windows.  In the morning, there is plenty of sunshine to wake me up!
