Visual Imagery: My Bedroom

Inside the nicely decorated room with taupe walls just the perfect hint of beige, lie colorful accessories with incredible stories waiting to be told. A spotless, uninteresting window hangs at the end of the room. Like a silent watchman observing all the mysterious characteristics of the area. The sheer white curtains cascade silently in the dim lethargic room. In the presence of this commotion, a sleepy, dormant, charming room sits waiting to be discovered. Just beyond the slightly pollen and dust laden screens, the sun struggles to peak around the edges of the darkness to cast a bright, enthusiastic beam of light into the world that lies beyond the spotless double panes of glass. Daylight casts a dazzling light on the various trees and flowers in the woods. The leaves of fall, showcasing colors of orange, red, and mustard radiate from the gold inviting sunshine on a cool fall day. A wonderful world comes to life outside the porthole. Colossal colors littered with, abundant number of birds preparing themselves for the long awaited venture south, and an old toad in search of the perfect log to fall asleep in for the winter.

The rustic cathedral ceiling contains numerous individually, interlocking ash colored planks, each with a well-planned placement. At first glance, it resembles a children’s vintage wooden puzzle. Each and every piece adds a unique element of old-fashioned warmth and charm to an otherwise sleepy, serene room. Each board signifies a perfectly landscaped map; flowing rivers, rippling streams weaving through an endless span of knotty trees, woody forests and up over sun-glistening hillsides looking into an endless dark indigo sky. Colors of chocolate and butterscotch accent the natural beauty of each slender piece of uneven rough-finished lumber. Smooth blades of mahogany adorn the antique copper colored ceiling fan. A thin layer of dust dwells on the top of each of the six powerful blades.

Below the ceiling, hovering eighteen inches above plush, sculptured carpet, a monstrous king-sized tempurpedic bed. The oak sturdy headboard attaches to a scratched and dented brown metal frame, extending down to include an identical oak footboard.

The fluffy soft multi-colored, quilt sits on top of the huge four-poster oak bed, an endless rainbow of color. The quilt contains yellows as bright as the sun, transition to a shadowed maize color of a dried corn field. Browns ranging from bark of an oak tree, to melted chocolate on a new white shirt.
