The  family is composed by six people; parents,  grandparents, and two children.

In front of the house we can find small stairs that take you to the front door, which is decorated with flowers and some trees and it is surrounded by grass and it has a big garage on the right side.

On the first floor we have a beautiful entrance and next to it we found a small bathroom and the sitting room to welcome guests, next to it, we find a big  dining room where the family enjoy having breakfast, lunch and dinner.In front of the dining room we have the washing room.

On the first floor of the house there is a small living room with creamy, beige coloured walls which connects with the dining room.

In the middle, we have a large, brown, wooden table with six chairs. On the table there is a little tablecloth and there are two chandeliers with red candles.

Though there is a small table with four chairs between the two rooms. On the table are some orange flowers.

Coming now to the kitchen, we can observe that in its big area stands a kitchen countertop that has a red plate with some decorative balls on it, which are white and black.

Facing the kitchen frontally, we can divide it in two sides. On the left side is the metallic shining fridge that consists of two sections. Next to it are another two cupboards with a timer, some condiments and other working tools on it.

On the right side are some more cupboards. The dishwasher is nearly in the middle of them, facing a window. We can also see some spices and bottles next to the dishwasher.

At the left are two containers, made of glass. In the left, back corner we can perceive a door. Behind it is probably a larder, where you can store the alimony.

The whole kitchen is populated with many storing shelves on the top.

Entirely the kitchen transmits an organized and clean impression. The brown wood used for all the pieces of furniture harmonizes perfectly with the silver, metallic appliances and the marble boards. It is also very well illuminated by the small, round lights which are attached into the ceiling and the three armed lamp above the little table.

Behind the armchair, there is a lit lamp and at its right there are two beautiful black decorations.

Now, if we turn to the right we will see a small tree next to a little wooden table with a portrait, a lamp and some books on it.

Starting with the left part of the room we can see a big chest of drawers that occupy all that corner.

Reflections: This work was very interesting giving the fact that it was a group work. I think that working with classmates sometimes mades it harder because you get desconcentrated and sometimes you don't do your things, which did not happened here. We totally worked as a group, we helped each other and also learned from our mistakes because we were correcting and trying to write good paragraphs, so I liked this worked because it changed my mind about working in groups.
