If you took the advice I gave in my last newsletter, you took advantage
of those January white sales to purchase some beautiful things
for your bedroom. Here are a few suggestions you can use
to make this sanctuary even more special. 
- Keep your bedroom tidy and free of clutter. This
will give you a feeling of calmness when you enter.
- Accessorize only with things you truly love . . . and
keep those at a minimum.
- Paint the room a soothing color, conducive to relaxation. Make
it a color you absolutely love!
- Use pillows on the bed to bring in an accent color and
to create a soft feeling to the room.
- Instead of purchasing a bedskirt, try laying rectangular
tablecloths across the box spring and adjusting each side
to your preference.
- Set up a special place just for you. A comfy chair
by a window gives you a special place to retreat and relax.
- Have lighting by the bed and your special chair. Halogen
bulbs in the lamps will give you bright, but not harsh
light, suitable for reading. Don’t turn on
the overhead light unless you absolutely must.
- Instead of a headboard, try hanging a curtain rod with
curtains that match the décor.
- Make sure you have plenty of candles for ambience.
Now all you have to do is take the time to enjoy your special sanctuary! |
