My home has four bedrooms, two and a half baths, a kitchen, and a big living room. I have no houses on either side of me. I have a shiny white privacy gate along one side of my yard.

The living room is the size of two master bedrooms with a half bathroom. I have a 55 inch TV hanging on the wall in the living room. There is also a 50 gallon fish tank in my living room. We have eighteen steps that lead up to our second level. On the second level there are three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a full washroom. In 2011 I had a super bowl party at my house. I cooked chicken wings, meatballs, mac and cheese, green beans, fried fish, potato salad, and sodas. We do not park in our garage so I set the food up out there with tables and chairs. I put some music out there so people could eat and dance. In the living room was the big screen with the game on it. My whole family came over and we had plenty of fun. In June of 2012 my youngest child finished school so I had a graduation dinner for her. I put up decoration for her and cooked ribs, baked chicken, fried chicken, mac and cheese, green beans, dressing, yams, cornbread, and rice. I ordered her a cake from Harris Teeter...

...Name: Jinhuixuan Li My Apartment As an international student, owning a house always is a dream. The reason is I do not have any family with me in the United States. However, I still need a little home in this foreign country. I live on campus, which also means school also is a half of my home. My home is a rental student apartment which is located on the 8th floor of Medical Plaza, the University of Utah. Although it is not my real home, I still want to call it “my home.” My apartment is small and crowded but comfortable. My apartment is a two-bedroom apartment, which means I have a roommate. My apartment has a very clean living room, a little kitchen and a small bathroom. First, as you walk into the apartment, the white wall and white ceiling make the apartment more bright and clean. Then you can see there is a large round wooden brown desk in the center of the room. There are five leather brown chairs around the desk. There is a very large French window which almost occupies the whole north wall. The brown floor mat also makes the room more comfortable and warm. When the night is coming, you can see the very good vista through the large window. I really like seating beside the desk and have a cup of coffee, and I enjoy the wonderful time. Although the living room is not big, it is comfortable and lovely. Secondly, I will introduce my little kitchen and bathroom. The little kitchen has a large white refrigerator that always has good food and a big oven and microwave oven...

...What I Call Home In life everyone has their own dreams, whether it be about cars, houses, or their career. Most people I know dream to have the biggest and luxurious houses but I was always satisfied with mine. My house is not a tiny apartment nor a huge mansion but a two story, plain brown brick cozy house with white painted doors. The front yard is decorated with beautiful flowers; roses, lilies, violets, dahlias, daisies and much more, my mother usually plant them. She says, "Flowers are a pleasure and perfection of nature, and they give many things to people, and it does not matter if you are rich or poor, they give you a wonderful world which makes you feel happy". It definitely makes her and our neighbors happy. She shares the seeds of her flowers with the neighbors since they love and always compliment her garden. Walking through the front doors of my house after a long day of school always makes me feel so relaxed. There is always a smell of fresh vanilla or brown sugar candles the moment I walk through my white painted door. As I walk up the stairs and I see four bedrooms and a washroom. There is one bedroom for each of us in the family; my parents, brother, sister and myself. I usually go straight to my room when I get home. The walls in my room are painted a nice light green. There’s my bed in the middle of the room, a desk, night table and a closet. I have always wished I had a walk in closet but I'm comfortable with what I have now, this closet does me just fine...

...farm lands with some animals. But I do like the city life with the nose, rude people, and heavy traffic on the high way. There is pros and cons to both environment, the countryside close to no air pollution, but less services you need to travel more to access services. The pros and cons of the city life more cultural opportunities, more diversity of people, more opportunities for higher education, better services like trash collection, water and sewer, cons more crime, more pollution, higher costs living. So as you can see I am little undecided about my dream house so. I am just going to explain two type of dream houses and locations one countryside and one in the city. First the city it would most likely be in Broward County a lake front home of course “I love water”. It would be 3 story house because it’s very hard to build full basements here. So one of the floors would be more like a half basement because the property will have a 3 car garage. The outside of the house would be a dark brown wood siding, and then a simple rock base that goes up about 1 feet on the house to give the old house effect. The side facing the water would be all glass so we can always look out to the gorgeous lake in front of us. It would have a long paved private driveway. The first floor would have moving glass door, doors opens with voice commands. There is a small flower garden and vegetable garden off to the one side of the house with solar powdered lights wrap around the whole house. At night the...

...amount of responsibility that it takes to maintain a dorm room living on my own, in comparison to the expectations living at home under adult supervision. Back at home as a high school student, my priorities and expectations from my parents were to attend school five days out of the week, manage my time to complete all assignments and to complete all chores that were expected to be done on time. Some of these chores consisted of cleaning my room, taking out the trash, and do my own laundry. When it was time to clean and organize my room, I had a tendency to clean and organize it the way I felt most comfortable. I did not have to worry about arranging all my personal valuables with limited space or share a room with another person and their own valuables. It was easy for me to place objects where and how I wanted and not have to feel stressed out on where I could find certain items when I needed them. My ability to organize my room and remove myself from distractions as a college student is not the same as to living at home. The most challenging, and time consuming problems moving into a dorm room is trying to manage a room that has provided me limited space on what I can work with when moving into a whole new environment. Moving into a dorm room can cause problem such as organization of the room, the cleanliness of the room and dealing with distractions. First, placing and organizing personal items in the dorm room is a common problem college students run into. Students often...

...so important to me is because my room holds all of my personal belongings, which are very important to me. Also my room is a comfortable place to study or just to relax. I can also have privacy whenever I want it by resorting to my room, this may be hard for some people if they share a room. Whenever my mom is nagging at me or when I'm stressed out with school or work, I like to go into my room and just be myself. All my belongings in my room surround me and make me realize everything is going to be all right. It gives me a sense of security. The way my room is set up makes it kind of cluttered, but that is the way I like it and I don't care what anyone says. As you first come into my room, to the right is my dresser. My dresser is full of things like perfume, jewelry, hair ties, my alarm clock and just a bunch of junk, mostly things that come out of my pockets at the end of the day. The dresser itself is brown with six drawers, sets of three side by side. Diagonally across from that is my curio cabinet which holds all of my porcelain dolls, the cabinet is a light brown with glass shelves. Next to my bed which is in the middle of the room is my entertainment center which holds my stereo and pictures and just odds and ends. Everything is worth keeping. I believe that other people feel the same way about their rooms and homes, it gives people a sense of security in a way that you can control what goes in your room and who goes in your room. It sort of gives people power which...

...realistically to what I feel will be affordable in my future. The property I chose is located in the City of San Gabriel California. A single family home consisting of 1728 square feet, three bedrooms, and two and a half baths, single car garage with an extra room connected to it. Upon entering the front door you quickly realize that the front room is rather small. It does have a fireplace, which seems to limit the front room space even more as it only limits the placement of furniture. The bedrooms were of a decent size with new windows in all rooms. The master bedroom was slightly larger then the other two bedrooms with a sliding door that leads to the back yard. The master bathroom was really small and outdated. The other bathrooms were also outdated. There is a family room but that too was really small. The kitchen was extremely small with little cabinet space, little counter space. There was a small area for dinning which was adjacent to the kitchen and connected to the living room. The layout of the entire house seemed to be dysfunctional. It seems as if there was some remodeling done, but it really cut down the openness of the entire house. It seems like you were walking through a maze as you tried to get from one room to another. I also felt as if maybe the owners tried to fix up the kitchen prior to putting the home up for sale. In...

...somewhere to relax and to study and just do whatever you want to do. This place is my special place, my dorm room. My dorm room is an amazing place where amazing things happen, day in and day out. My dorm is set up exactly like my real room at home, which is also why I’m so comfortable in it. Every time I walk into my dorm room I feel like I’m at home in Columbia, and that really calms me down and sort of makes me feel like my parents are close to me in a way. Being comfortable in my room is why I can study so well in it, because I usually cant study or do work anywhere. My room is also the best place to triage for me. There’s nothing better to me then lying in bed watching Netflix while I try to prioritize what homework I should do at that moment. I could do it all day, and I wish I really could. After I’m done triaging, I simply just lie in my bed and think. Thinking in my room is great because I don’t have to do anything. My mind floats and bounces off the pictures and posters on my walls, I think about the most interesting things when I’m alone in that room. My room has been the most important place to me at the U for the first 4 months that I’ve been here, and I hope it’s always the most important place to me while I’m at the U. My room has made my college experience great, because of all the great things it reminds me of and lets me do while I’m in it. My room is truly a magical and amazing place to live, and I don’t know what I would do without...

...Wheelchair users should have an indoor and outdoor home environment that facilitates independence and is safe. They should feel comfortable in their own home and be able to move around easily to accomplish their activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living. Many disabled people run into a lot of barriers around the home such as narrow doorways, tripping over clutter, and inaccessible rooms.

...rent a room in share house. Now I am living with two Chinese, one of them is the owner of that house. This house are separated in two area basically, open-shared ground floor and private area in second floor. In this case study I will discuss my new home in the aspects of ritualization, ethnography and phenomenology that how these elements affect my personal perception of my house. F.1. The second floor of my house. In a share house, the whole environment of the private area is important to each person, no matter students or working people. As we know, everyone want a comfortable place for them to relax and engrossed in their own work at home, therefore, well allocation of personal private space in every single house is necessary. In this house, we have got three bedrooms and all located in the second floor, hence, the private areas of my home are grouped together. Clean and quiet environments are the first element that normally required for a domestic space. My bedroom is quiet and clean and that fit my basic requirement. F.2. Day view of my bedroom on the second floor. We all in this house will not make noises to disturb each other so basically we will not be incommoded, especially in bed time. As my bedroom is located in the second floor, it is much more quiet than some rooms which are next to kitchen or garage. Also it is convenient to me that I do not need to share my bedroom with other people as I can do anything without other person’s permission. In my room, I...

...success. However, not everyone is so lucky, and most individuals dream of instant luck. Many people play the lottery, and some are even fortunate enough to win. The chances are slim, of course, but, as the saying goes, all you need is “a dollar and a dream.” If I won the lottery, I would buy a huge house and open my own spa. The first thing I would do with my winnings is buy the home I have always dreamt of. I have always lived in an apartment, which isn’t too bad, but, after a while, a person starts to want more space. My home would be quite large. It would consist of two floors: the first floor would be the kitchen, living room, and dining room. I would also have a den where I could be as messy as I want because when I had visitors, I’d always leave the door to that room closed. The living room would be the place where most of my visitors would spend their time, so it would have a wide-screen television, where everyone could be entertained. My furniture would be very unique, too. My sofas would be red velvet, which would match the red velvet curtains on the five windows that surround the room. This would allow for sunlight to enter, but it would also allow for some privacy, just in case I have some of those “special” guests. The second floor would consist of six...

...my junior of year of high school my mother and I had a lot of altercations. We kept having disagreements about what time I came into the house at night, me always having company, and me never cleaning up my room. My mother and I weren’t the only ones having this disagreement. I had four cousins who were having the same exact debates with their mothers, who were my aunts. My mother and Aunts all sat down and discussed the matter. They came up the solution of us having our own apartment. When they brought the idea to us five we all agreed that it were a great plan. Us having our own apartment meant that we could do what we wanted when we wanted without our mothers nagging us about every little thing. We knew we were going to have fun, but we also knew we had responsibilities that had to be taken care of. We all agreed to do our part and chip in where we were needed. It was time to prove to our mothers we were old enough and mature enough to be on our own and make the right decisions. Frenchie, Dj, Crap, Jamarcus, and I moved in on July 21, 2010. We were going to be staying in Hill Top Apartments, apartment 312. The apartment had 3 rooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a living area. Since Dj was the oldest he got a room to himself. Jamarcus and I shared a room and Frenchie and Crap shared the other. We had two cars amongst us, mines and Jamarcus’s. Since we were on our own we tried to save as much money as possible so we always rode together in one car to school...

...person react or acts and certain aspects of their life, for example if you have to use the rest room and you are in a place with a waterfall or a water feature it can cause you to have the use the restroom room with much more intensity then if you did not see the water, or if you are in a place with dimly lit lights and soft music you start to feel drowsy/ sleepy. This is why environmental psychology is studied to determine why the environment causes people to react in certain ways. Environmental psychology study can help many with making improvements within the work area regarding employee productivity, if an employee is at work and the colors on the wall make them feel gloomy and sad it may cause the employee to work less and not as much as he/she may usually work. Many employees at work listen to music which seems to help with productivity and causes employees to be upbeat and cheerful having this kind of information is very beneficial with that being said Architectural psychology is just as important as is environmental psychology the two go hand in hand. Architectural psychology gave importance to the physical environment of one’s area (Steg, 2013). This information is useful to assist with the help of relieving physical stressors; It can help with the design of a room which can help and aide with how people function whether they are at work or at home. Some people have their rooms designed based on feng shui concepts which is supposed to promote relaxing living concepts....
