Lazy Days

I’ve had a couple of really laid-back days (a real treat for me). I decided to go shopping for my bedroom. YUP, my bedroom. Every couple of years, I like to replace all the bedding and start anew. So I splurged and got a new featherbed, down comforter, comforter cover, sheets and pillows. Wow, what a difference it makes. Everything is so soft and full and smells wonderful. I finally let myself buy the 1200 thread-count sheets I’ve been drooling over for months.

I actually got an email from a guy who wants to know what CG’s bedroom looks like. At first, I was shocked and horrified…then I thought, “what’s the big deal? He doesn’t know me from Eve, and it’s not really that perverted of a request”. So here goes nothin’.

My bedroom is a loft-style that overlooks the dining room. It has hardwood floors, fresh white beadboard on the walls and a pale blue ceiling. It is clean, full of light and clutter-free. My queen size bed is the Pottery Barn Thomas Bed in white. The new sheets/comforter are done in simple, block stripes of pale blue, light green and white.   A sand colored rug runs beneath the bed and natural wicker baskets flank the underbed and hide away my extra linens.  I have two white, distressed dressers across the room from the bed and two matching nightstands on either side of the bed.  The extra nightstand is home to a glass bowl filled with seashells I’ve collected on the beach, and my nightstand is kept clear for my laptop at night.  The floor-to-ceiling windows are covered with sheer, white curtains that drift softly about when the breeze comes through.   On my shorter, mirrored dresser, I have a beautiful, 24 inch Murano Glass vase in several shades of blues, that mimics ocean waves.  The room is cozy and comfy, with a slight scent of lavender.   I do not keep a clock in the bedroom….

So there you have it…CoffeeGirl’s chambers.  You may ask ‘why’ I’ve decided to revamp the ole bedroom…is it possible that I’m anticipating a gentleman caller….maybe…
