One of the many shows on PBS is For Your Home, today on FYH was the issue of the master bedroom. Clearly the master bedroom in question was not in our little apartment, the bedroom they were redecorating had a TV, and room for a “sitting area” complete with “over stuffed chairs and a little table where the couple can enjoy their coffee.”
They also suggested doing the bedroom in aqua (“the new neutral color”), and planned to design the room around “this great vase” they they had found. The more I watched, the more amused I became. The room they were creating was full of aquas and taupes and was turning into a generic bedroom like the ones in the catalogues/magazines.
Oh yes, lets add a “beautiful basket of seashells” you can buy those anywhere, how boring, and do you need a basket of seashells in the BEDROOM? I could see your collection of seashells under a glass coffee table or something fun, but just a basket of them in the bedroom?
I’m sorry, it’s not a bedroom, it’s a MASTER SUITE, and they have two rooms to tie together, a sitting room and a bedroom, no wonder they can fit some over stuffed chairs in there! Oh yes! We must have an entertainment center in the bedroom! (is your spouse not entertaining enough?)
Let’s also stuff our night stands with little dainty picture frames that’ll get smashed when you go blindly thwacking after your alarm clock. Do people actually live and sleep in the end results of these rooms?
I never found out what the end results of the room, Gavin came home and we went out for lunch (going out to lunch means we can sit in the AC for an hour or so, it is rather a nice break).
We are remodling the kitchen! Would you like to come out and help. You need to know however that we will not be using aqua in or on anthing except the sink!
