It, too, is black lacquer and trimmed in gold with six stacked drawers. On the top sits the television, VCR, cable box, VCR tape rewinder, and the most beautiful statue. She has a sparkling green headwrap and matching blanket across her bottom half. Her right arm is distinctly placed across her breasts and her left, across her stomach. As I pass the stand holding the video tapes and compact discs, I reach back and turn off the television.
Silence fills the room.
I designed it myself. It's a space just big enough for the queen-sized bed it cradles. At the opening of the space, there are sheer blue curtains drawn to each side. The bed's headboard is made of shiny black lacquer and mirrored with golden trimmings. Any solid colored sheet set is fitted to the bed.
