My room is the smallest bedroom in the house, so I don't have much room for furniture. I have a single bed with lots of pillows and yellow bedding. I have a tiny wardrobe and drawers underneath my bed for clothes. I have a small desk and a fluffy chair in the corner where I do my homework. My cat, Sammy, loves to sit with me while I do my homework, so I have a cat bed next to my desk. I also have lots of family pictures.
