A woman’s bed should be easy to make and should mesh with her personal style. Sophisticated? Glamorous? Bohemian? Urban glitz? Every woman’s expression of sensuality will be different. Do you prefer to snuggle into goose down or wrap up in superthin blankets? Do you like over sized pillows or standard pillows? White on crème bedding or jewel-toned velvets? Netted bed-drapes with silky fringed tassels or curtains drawn around a canopy structure? The details you choose should inspire you (and your spouse!) to hang out in your intimate cloister.
My own interpretation of “sensuous” leads me to seek the unexpected. Bias-cut white satin gowns (thrift-store finds) drape across a window on white satin hangers. The walls elicit a kicky espieglerie: a showplace for original objects where flaws and stray brushstrokes say, “Someone touched this.” The bohemian in me was vitalized when I “ragged on” a flesh-toned terra-cotta paint and coated that with flourishes of textured pearl glaze. Candle- light—and I—look great against the appeal of the Old World ambience. In such a boudoir, I become my own muse.
