worn furniture old bathroom fixtures

The location was convenient for accessing nearby amenities and services, I reckon.

My room appear old and need some serious love. The furniture seem worn and tired, and the bathroom fixtures felt kinda ancient. For what I pay, I expect somethin' a tad more swanky.
