I live in a renovated train carriage, which while only around 2 meters wide is very long (around 48 feet, IIRC), at one end there's a double bed, which for some reason (namely I like high beds) is raised to around 5 feet off the floor. Underneath the bed are a bunch of cupboards etc where I keep my clothes. On the wall above the double bed is a reading light, a Neon genesis Evangelion poster from Italy, and an ornamental katana. On the bed is a bunch of stuffed animals I can't quite bring myself to stick in a box somewhere Besides this is my reverse cycle air conditioner, and a Balinese hand fan depicting a small fishing village. At the end of the bed there's a foot or so spare, on this I keep my CD player. A bit below the CD player is a dented white wooden bookshelf which doesn't have nearly enough books in it for my tastes, what it does have is a thing called a 'UFO' which rotates and send coloured light through fiber optic cables (you know you're in a stoners house when...), and my (quite small) CD collection. Right next to my bookshelf is a beige couch, which I bought at a white elephant sale for the princely sum of $20. After cleaning off the mold that was on it it was fine aside from a few small tears in the material (which are covered by the blue throw rug I have anyway), between the couch and bookshelf there's a sketch pad I have to start using more often. Opposite the couch is an old TV set, a VCR, and a Super NES (I got bored of my N64 a while back and got an old SNES instead), all in a black wooden video cabinet thingy. On top of the TV is a small model hut from Thailand, made of bamboo, and a scented candle which I need to move. On the wall behind the couch we have 2 more NGE posters. The curtains are made of a heavy white fabric, and due to my mother's sometimes dubious taste have a pattern of blue cats on them. In the center of the railway carriage is a plastic picnic table and 4 picnic chairs, a bit over from this is my kitchen...Ah, what the heck, I'll just wait 'til I can post the photos.
