Harry’s been sleeping in with us for a couple of months now. His room doesn’t have any heating and it’s been F.R.E.E.Z.I.N.G. So he’s sleeping on his mattress, at the foot of our bed. Except part-way through every night, he gets up and gets in bed with us. Or rather, with me. Because when Harry gets in, David gets out and sleeps in Harry’s bed. I don’t even notice anymore. I just go to bed with David and wake up with Harry.
But recently I suggested to David that instead of Harry moving back into his room, we move in there. It’s tiny so there’d probably only be room for a double bed, but the room could be ALL BED! How cool would that be? You’d open the door and just leap on the bed. David, however, not so keen.
But look at this bedroom I spotted on Apartment Therapy. Mary’s parents built this bedroom for her when she was eight. It would have been my absolute perfect bedroom when I was eight and I’m not sure it’s not still my perfect bedroom now. I don’t know why, but I love rooms within rooms. My perfect office would be in, say, a tent in the corner of a room. Or even one of these.
Virginia Wood talked about needing “a room of one’s own”. I think I want a den of my own.
Rooms like that always make me think of Wuthering Heights and the cabinet bed Lockwood has his ghostly encounter in!
Oooh, or like a bed amongst the furry coats on the way to Narnia – how exciting – I’d never get any sleep!
That is SUCH a cool room! I’m obsessed with tiny. Have you seen the “tiny houses” out there? There are whole blogs like Apartment Therapy devoted to them. They are SO cool. I can’t stop lusting for one.
I want that bed right now. Here in my office at work. It would be heaven.
OH love this post… what a dream room… I would love to hide away in there and would have loved it even more as a wee kid
Hi there! I really love the idea putting a room inside a room. Since i’m afraid of sleeping on the open area, that picture really gives me an idea.
I’m waiting for your next bright postings!
Thanks..
