I want to tell you about my apartment. I live in a five-storey building on the second floor. The house is located on the street Mendeleev. Our apartment is beautiful and comfortable. House is always clean. It consists of four rooms, corridor, kitchen and bathroom with toilet.
Going into my room catches the eye window and balcony door, but they closed the beautiful curtains. Left of the door is a chest of drawers, a mirror over the chest and sides of the shelves. On the shelves of souvenirs and frames with photos .. Around chest my bed. Bed against the wall, and on the wall shelf. On the shelf toys. On the bed sits a big bear. The bed mat. Opposite the bed is a desk and chair. On the table, a shelf for books, CDs, souvenirs. On the table is a computer and a desk lamp. The right of the table mirror box.
I live with my parents in a large new building on the seventh floor. We moved here recently, but have become accustomed to the new premises: it is much better than before.
When you walk into the apartment, once you find yourself in a large and spacious hall. Near one wall - hanger and closet, near the other - the mirror. Next - the door to the kitchen, and on the other hand, on the right, the entrance to our room and the parents' bedroom.
Children's room have spacious and bright, with access to the loggia. Engage in an activity in children and my brother alone. In our room there are two beds: and my Mitin. The left corner is occupied wardrobe and cupboard for toys and books. We have a good library, the most interesting books. Near the wall, to the right, stand desk with shelves and nightstand for recorder and TV.
Behind the desk, I did my homework, draw, to be honest, it does not always look neat, so mom sometimes gets angry at me.
On the shelves are books and books in the series "Children's Encyclopedia", which I occasionally like to flip through. Among the books there is a little space, where I lie beautiful stones found in the mountains, mountain sedge leaves of various plants of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden. All this is neatly arranged, and every morning, opening his eyes, I see the beauty that reminds us that summer will soon return and my family go back to caressing sea.
Back in our room a lot of toys that I gave Meath, but he could not get used to the fact that they need to be removed. Now that you understand what it looks like my apartment. Come and visit us and see how we clean and cozy.
