I strongly believe your home should be a retreat. I will even take it a step further and say your bedroom should be the coziest and comfortable place in the world for just you. We spend a third of our lives in bed, so why settle with a dull bedroom. When I wake up, I want to be surrounded by lovely things that make me happy.
