This may actually be a bedroom. Where I work there were so many people who lived there at one time (WAY over capacity, like almost everywhere else back in the "old" days) that a single bedroom was considered the height of luxury, even one this small. It meant privacy, which was very difficult to get.

Very calming! Now I see why they chose this color green for so many rooms! 8`-)

I noticed something similar as I walked the halls of the unused older buildings on our campus last week. I suppose they were trying to individualize the rooms for each person by using different colors of paint (we let our folks choose what color(s) they want), but it was weird walking down the hall noticing the same incredible variations in room colors for adjacent rooms. Since the section of campus that is in use has many rooms in the same suite that are painted different colors, I am guessing that this seems more blatant when there is no furniture or curtains to give each room a "theme."

"Blaring" or "glaring"? Tee hee!

Talk about lonesome! This poor bed needs one of those lonely chairs for company. :-(

That's some height there, eh? The lines drag me upward to the top of the shot. You did something or another with the wide angle, eh? No? Yes? I like it, whatever it is!

Mmmmmm . . . . . NICE black and white shot. The way the boards are lined up over top of the door gives the impression of a windmill. I like the open doorway WAY back in the scene to give an incredible feeling of depth. The kicker is the way the light spills across from the right of the picture down across to the left corner. Very complex, very nice!
