Before and After

These are photos of our living room. It’s a beautiful room now, but it was a
terrible room a month ago. It was a very dark room. The walls were black, and
there were some horrible pictures on them. There were two old armchairs and
there wasn’t a sofa. There wasn’t a modern TV.
Now, the living room is completely different. The walls are white and there are
some beautiful pictures and a big mirror on them. There’s a fantastic sofa now,
and there are two new armchairs. We’ve also got a huge TV now. I love our new
living room.
