In Real Simple Magazine there’s a great article called What Does Home Mean to You? I always get teary eyed when people write such personal things about their home like “where I don’t have to be perfect” or “where I can take off my bra” or “total acceptance”. Go ahead, well up, it’s ok.

It made me think of my favorite room in the house, the bedroom. Why you may ask? Because it is where the most intimate experiences happen: healing, loving, nursing, relaxing, playing.

A Room Recipe for a great bedroom includes the following ingredients:

Feather pillows
Down comforter
100% cotton bedding
No frills
No electronics
Velvet drapery
Chenille throw pillows
High pile plush rug
Organization
Simplicity
Muted color palette
Lots of love!
