Render a still life of peaceful beauty by bringing fresh flowers to the bedroom. A deep layering of pillows provides gentle comfort in a sumptuous nest of color, pattern, and texture. Solid hues, blue stripes, and monogram-enhanced designs merge harmoniously with neutral linen Euro shams and a “petaled” white-rosette accent cushion. For quick warmth, drape blankets and throws of cashmere, mohair, or cable-knit cotton at the foot of the bed.

Whether it’s an afternoon nap or a full night’s slumber, there is nothing more relaxing than having fresh and clean vintage embroidered linens of white to make a true welcoming bed. A cup of mint tea and a good book is all I need to fall peacefully to sleep. I also am blessed with a natural waterfall near my house which lulls me to sleep with its falling waters.
The addition of my purring three cats all cuddling with me make it perfect!
