Write a 250 word description of a place using only one adjective
________________________________________________
The house belonged to my grandmother. I had never visited before so I did not know the layout of the building. As I entered the front door I looked around the entrance hall. The floor was woodblock with rugs here and there. A mirror was hung above a table where I could see lying the day’s newspaper and some letters which had arrived in the mail. Three doors led off the hall. The one to my right was ajar and I made my way through it into the main reception room, which was used as a living room. Several armchairs were placed in a semi-circle, with side tables between them. There was a cabinet in one corner, which could have hidden a brooding television behind its closed doors. The fireplace was empty and the curtains were drawn across the bay windows. I backed out of the room and stepped across the hallway to the second door. It was not locked, and on opening it I stepped into the dining room. The table could seat about a dozen people. Some chairs were set around the table in the centre of the room and some more were placed against the walls. A bowl of fruit was in the centre of the table and a pair of candelabra stood on either side. Here, too, the curtains were drawn. Aside from the table and chairs the room had a sideboard against one wall and a fireplace containing a dried flower arrangement in its hearth.
