The Pink Room

by Ponyess


Prologue: 1

The floor of the bed room is laid with a shiny, soft pink plastic carpet, just as we had finally agreed upon.

I had the walls covered with the merry pink wallpaper, with two blue balloons and a yellow one in an overall pattern covering the entire wall.

Bright pink cotton curtain, matching the colour, hue and pattern of the wallpapers in the room.

Two wardrobes at the foot end of the bed, a pairs of doors to open for both the doors painted in the same colour as the plastic carpet the floor had been laid with. Just as the door had been painted pink, so had the entire interior of both the wardrobes. The paint is just as smooth, as the carpet the floor had been laid with.

The top half of the wardrobes, fitted for hangers on which shirts and skirts could hang; while the lower half is fitted with shelves upon which clothes and bed linen could lie in storage, in wait for use.

Incidentally, the ceiling had been painted a lighter, still pink hue. As opposed to the floor, it is a rather mate pink. In the middle, the lamp had been mounted, with room for the bulbs to spread ample light within the confines of the room.

Instead of painting the door of the room, it had been decorated with a wallpaper, matching that of the walls of the room and thus hiding it. Just as the door is covered with wallpaper in the room, so it is covered on the other side.

The original handle had not been removed or replaced, so there is a hint of where the door is.

As the bed was made, a bright cotton sheet had been used. The duvet is pink, with matching balloon pattern, sticking to the theme of the room. Of course, the pillowcase had to be pink and covered with blue and yellow balloons. Anything else would have been quite inexcusable. Three pillows are lined up at the top of the bed, and the quilt is thick and heavy.

The only remaining furniture; consists of a bedstand by the side of the bed, a minimal bookcase mounted on the wall above the bed and a tiny table by the wall opposing the bed, accompanied by two tiny child’s chairs.
