5 details of my childhood bedroom

LESSON 3

EXERCISE 1:
Come up with at least 5 details about your childhood bedroom.
1) It was a large room with twin beds.
2) My two younger brothers shared the second bed.
3) The room had two large windows, on the east side of the room and two matching windows on the south wall.
4) The windows were covered with White wooden plantation shutters. The floors were wood.
5) A Bessie Pease Gutmann painting of a beautiful young girl, holding a broken and Reggie doll, and a lovely perfect doll set on the floor next to her feet, hung next to my bed. The perfect doll was my older sister and I saw myself as the broken doll.
Today, that painting hangs in my office
