A description of your room

My bedroom is great! It´s great and there is a lot of furniture in it. Everything is pink in my bedroom and I call it `the pink room´. I´ve got a small bed, a desk, a chair, a wardrobe and a bookcase. The bed is next to the wardrobe. My desk is under the window. There is a big poster behind my bed. There is a computer and a lamp on my desk and I´ve got books in the bookcase next to my desk. I haven´t got a TV but I´ve got a CD player. I like my bedroom very much.
