The room today
Bare light walls, light carpet, and a tray ceiling with a round light fixture. The three windows have white horizontal blinds and no curtains. The bed has a light gray upholstered headboard with vertical channels and black nightstands without lamps. The TV sits on a low black dresser, with a tall dresser beside the door. The window corner has no armchair; it holds a folding table, an office chair, and loose cables on the floor.
