Both had a mirrored dresser.
Both had a bed, a chair, and some decorative pillows.
Both had a light on a stand.
These are some of the most important differences:
The rooms were 90 degrees to each other. In the one closer to the stairs,
the long side of the room was parallel to the hall. In the room farthest from
the stairs, the narrow side of the room was towards the hall.
In the room farthest away, the bed was positioned so that the headboard
was beside the door to the hall. In the room closest to the stairs, the foot of
the bed was nearest the door
In the room farthest away, the sliding glass door was parallel to the foot of
the bed. In the other room, it was parallel to the side of the bed.
In the room farthest away, the door to the bathroom was parallel to the
side of the bed and near the door to the hall. In the other room, it was parallel
to the foot of the bed.
In the room farthest away, the walls were light colored. In the other room,
they were red.
In the room farthest away, the mirrored dresser was parallel to the side of
the bed. In the other room, it was parallel to the foot of the bed.
In the room farthest away, there was a window near the sliding glass door.
Where the chair in the other room was near the head of the bed, here the chair
was in front of the window.
The differences were significant enough for me to begin to re-think the likelihood that I
could succeed. I decided that my best option was to focus on whichever room she wanted
