This bedroom from the Ralph Lauren Home collection is a perfect marriage of all the things I love in a bedroom.
- Dark walls: I love that cocooning feeling of being in a room (especially a bedroom) with dark walls. My own bedroom is an old Martha Stewart Shade called Monks Cloth. A soft gray-brown that is just dreamy. The walls here are probably a charcoal, maybe even black. Oh, so perfect!
- White sheets: I'm not against colored linens - decorative patterns on duvets, or even the occasional mix-match, but there is something so wonderful about having crisp, clean, lavender scented 1100 thread count white sateen sheets on a bed.
- Cashmere: If you can afford it - here's where you splurge. We spend 24 years of our approximate 80 in bed, so you might as well be comfortable. A cashmere throw, or in this case a cashmere throw AND a cashmere coverlet fit the bill perfectly!
- Candlelight: 'nuff said.
- Adequate lighting: Love that lamp - perfect for a lazy day of reading, or blogging.
So there, you have it. My style in a photo - clean, sophisticated, and personal. If you're up for the challenge, play along! Check back in tomorrow for a few shots of our newly blooming garden! I'm so excited!
That's so funny... when I first saw the photo I said to myself..."very Ralph Lauren"! Such a marvelous style. and you are right about the sheets and the cashmere. I might suggest ironed and lavender scented linen sheets. I've found that there's not much better!
ReplyDeleteI have about four sets of sheets to rotate onto my bed, but only one gets used. The white set. Something about white sheets.... I really like the lamp, too. I saw one very similar at Restoration Hardware; bought one very similar at Target. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinately looks like a place I could spend some time...That bed looks cozy. I so love your style!
ReplyDeleteI love all those things too. I can so see this being you...a man with spot on taste. Thanks for playing.

A very masculine room. I can definitely picture you in it. Preferably naked. LOL
ReplyDeleteJustine :o )
A cashmere coverlet and throw? Well, I can't think of anything nicer. Or classier. Or softer. Or yummier.
