When you finally make it up the long driveway that comes off of the main road, you find yourself in a clearing. It’s wide and open and totally inviting. Not scary in the slightest. The house isn’t very large. It’s painted yellow, a very happy shade, and it has a nicely sized wraparound porch that’s painted white. The front door is actually two. They both have the regular front door cut outs, but neither have windows in them, which is strange for a front door. Like there used to be more of the house, but they knocked down the walls to make the porch. As you enter the house, you’re instantly shown almost every single room. It’s not a large house by any means. It has two bedrooms, one larger than the other by only two feet either way. When you set foot inside the doorway, you enter the living room. A perfect square, there is an older TV against the west wall with a couch on the opposite side. The couch is a light cream color, tainted from years of use, although it’s not very comfortable. There’s a coffee table that’s rectangular in shape, a dark cherry wood. You have to step in between the table and the couch to make it through the small room. On the other side of the couch (no wall behind the couch) is a much older kitchen. The sink, fridge, even the oven are all rounded appliances, white with silver accents. The counters are white, like most of the front of the home. Except for the fridge, everything else is against the east wall. The fridge is on your right when you enter. The south wall. There’s an island in the middle of the space regulated to the kitchen. It’s white like the rest of the counters. Going further into the home, you pass by a bathroom on the east just after the hallway starts. There’s a stand alone sink, white with silver accents again, and a small toilet. There’s a small medicine cabinet that stands in btween the toilet and sink. The clawfoot tub sits against the east wall with a new shower system that’s meant to look old, but does wonders for the water pressure. Unlike most of the accents in the house, this is the only thing that isn’t silver. It’s brass colored. The wallpaper in the bathroom is a light pink color with white base boards. The hallway is a bright blue color, like you’re wandering down a path made in the sky. The floors are all wood. The bathroom takes up most of the east side of the house. It’s something they definitely allowed some room for. Back in the hall, on the west side, is the first bedroom, it’s the smaller of the two. There isn’t much in there except for a small day bed against the west wall, under a high, rounded window. It has a small closet against the north wall, with the same sorts of sliding doors that bend in the middle, like in most homes nowadays. The south wall holds a tall and wide chest of draws. It takes up a lot of the wall, but it’s not very large, the house is just not that big. There isn’t a TV in this room. The walls have light green wallpaper, like spring easter colors. White baseboards just like the bathroom. There is only one more door which leads to the master bedroom. It’s on the south wall, a door you can see from the front door as you enter the house. There is a sprig of holly that hangs from just above the door to the last bedroom. The door opens to a room that seems much larger than the last room than it actually is. The wallpaper in here is much more interesting than the other rooms. It’s a bright gold, with gorgeous damask designs printed on it. The bed is on the east wall, so when you enter, you see a beautiful print of “Four Dancers” by Edgar Degas above an intricately carved dresser made of burled wood with a brown marble top. Off to the right is the window that sits above the bed, just like in the last room. It’s slightly larger than the other rounded window, with more delicate seeming glass. Light filters in through here, giving the room a safe and happy feeling. Across from the bed near the west wall is a simple stand with long spindly legs that holds a nicer TV. The night stand is a simple thing, made of dark wood with two doors that open outward, and a drawer on top of them. There isn’t anything special about it, barely anything about it has any special carvings on it. There’s a large window seat that takes up most of the west wall. The seat is voluminous with cushions, all of them in varying shades of pinks and reds. The entire room seems soft and understated, a very feminine place. Outside, on the back side of the house is the woods. There is a small swing in between two trees and a small shed off to the right of it. It looks barely big enough to hold anything more than a few garden tools, which is exactly all that is hides from the eye. The house is basically surrounded by trees, but it doesn’t seem lonely or foreboding. It seems comforting, like a home should.
