If I had my druthers I would spend my day in my little nest, making it cosy and interesting. I have a penchant for all things sparkly, embroidered, white, metal, serene. I find myself repeating patterns all over the place, unintentionally. What is it about a swirl of metal or thread that draws me in?
I’ve been mulling over my dream bedroom for some time now. I can see it perfectly in my head. As we all know I have my eye on a certain duvet cover. I envision this space to be light but not overly bright. Crisp, white sheets with a deep ruffle of lace on the edges. Calm colors, lots of texture. Ideally the bed would be an old French iron bedstead but my husband, bless his decorating soul, was quicker than I when it came to realizing HIS dream bedroom so I have to work with a mahogany sleighbed and armoire (I suspect most couples with separate bedrooms do so not because of snoring or incompatible schedules but because of differing ideas on decor).
It would have a comfy reading chair in the corner with ample light and a place to set a drink and a candle.
I already have a fireplace with a beautiful mantel painted my favorite shade of creamy white. I’ll admit that the fireplace rarely gets used. It’s a nice romantic touch but when you are actually in bed you can’t see a fire, if one is lit. I suppose if I had my comfy reading chair it might get more use.
So I suppose the next step is to take some action. I need to start looking for a chair and new sheets. It’s getting harder and harder to find sheets with interesting edging detail. At least the kind of detail I want. If anyone has any good ideas of where to look please let me know.
