English descriptive essay revision from first draft and notes

¶ … Room

We spent about fifteen years in the house in which we are presently living. After spending a considerable time in this house, I came to the conclusion that the house had a character of its own. A similar case is with a room within the house. A room possesses certain characteristics that distinguish it from other rooms. These characteristics may include a unique look of the room itself, which one may not find elsewhere. There was a small room in my house, which was used for several purposes. This room was located in the second floor of the house and a wooden staircase led up to it. This was the only room at the second floor and rest of the house was at the first level.

This room strangely had always been called the study even though no one ever used the room for the purpose of studying. Instead of this, it was used for several other activities. For instance, it was used for playing games and spending some spare time alone. I have several memories associated with that room. When I was younger, I used this room as a playroom. It had a large trunk full of toys, which would be scattered all over the floor, and at the end of the day mom would make me put them away. With the span of time, as I grew older, I installed a stereo phonograph system and eventually a television crammed into this room.

The study had a huge window overlooking the backyard. It was because of this window that the room appeared to be much larger although the actual size of the room was not that large. A couch was placed just opposite to the window. Although the tan couch was old enough and some of its parts were worn out and frayed at the edges but it was still very comfortable. In the center of the room was a small rug that covered the wooden floor. The rug was an Old Persian carpet full of attractive colors like blue, red, green etc. And had a beautiful design crafted on it.

The appearance and the structure of the room had some distinguished features in it that makes the look of the room pretty unique. For instance, despite having several things like toys, books etc. spread all over the room, the room used to appear pretty well cleaned and managed. Another quality of this room was while sitting in it a person had a feeling of comfort and calmness. Whenever I had a feeling of disappointment or had any anxiety in my mind, I used to get seated in this room and relaxing or sometimes daydreaming on the stairs adjacent to the room.

In short, this room was a place of escape for me as well as a place to seek comfort. I spent almost all of my childhood playing in this room and this long-term association developed a kind of attachment with it. While sitting in this room I had recalled my past and good memories associated with it. The old furniture, the ragged couch and the old rug, placed in this room, gave me a pleasant feeling.
