I dream of...

Morocco. Quite frequently. And, preferably ensconced in this room...

Love this. Adding an ever-changing canvas to the wall behind a bed...

Master Bed in Blue

Two rather inviting bedrooms. The first sporting a collection of framed antique scrolls from Tokyo and a 19th-century taxidermy zebra...

The second has an 1840's bed (found at an estate sale) as it's centerpiece. The bed has been dressed with a 19th-century matelassé coverlet and an Amish horse blanket...

Calming...

Almost sanctuary-like....

R.E.M.

Oh my. CANNOT sleep at the moment. And I appear to be immune to natural sleep aids. But, perhaps this setting could do the trick...

Our House at the end of our Street (IX)

View from my bed this morning...

A friend never defends a husband who gets his wife an electric skillet for her birthday. - Erma Bombeck

Luckily, that was not the case for me, as I got SUCH fabulous loot from family and friends... a cream porcelain 'food warmer' complete with coat-of-arms; a Thomas Paul Sea Life Turtle Tray from my daughter (a dead-ringer for our turtle Winifred, now known as Winston*); two exquisite goblets - also with heraldic shields; a vintage print of a sperm whale and a glass dome containing dozens of clothes pegs. Got a bit trigger happy with the pics, but had to include every detail... 

*To my daughter's dismay, a recent gender investigation revealed that Winnie is, in fact, a boy.
