The layout of My House

Giant White House
The house I am currently living in is a square but yet a circle. Greeting you with twenty foot columns, standing at the front doors of my house they are cracking and peeling showing the raw wood. The solid oak hardwood double doors present an almost picturesque but yet solidly creepy appearance. Staring up at you when you are stepping inside are the early twentieth century brown tiles and a fake, cheap oak hardwood floor that looks so real its almost blinding from the shine of the polish. The aroma of white roses that I had bought for my wife are sitting on the old school antique table in a crystal vase. As you walk through the entry into the living room you will step on the spongy green carpet. You see the sheer white walls covered in pictures of happy memories and artwork that my wife is so passionate for. On the far wall of the giant living room sitting on the floor there is the toy chest, full of what else but toys and baby dolls for my daughter. When walking through the dining room you will see to the right a long pine table that we tend to never eat at. To the left is a generous window that has a view looking out over old farm houses and their fields that now grow wheat grass in the winter months and corn through out the summer months. Straight ahead of you is our giant kitchen. As you walk in and step on the square tiles that remind you of being at the beach because of the sandy color, then you spot the dark majestic forest green granite counter top that holds our stainless steel sink along with all of our silly little appliances like the toaster, blender, espresso machine, and never forgetting the microwave. Just past the never- ending span of countertop is our utility room holding our junky old washer and dryer that looks like they are about to rattle apart from over use. Magically you go through the door at the other end of the laundry room and you are back where you started in our antique entry.
