badass! I also love the cat in front of the fireplace :)

That's Shinji :). He's actually a dog disguised as a cat.

That looks amazing. Very soothing and peaceful. I want to vacation in a room like that.

tyrven April 12 2009, 01:34:21 UTC

Totally. It's pretty important to me that I have a place like that to retreat to. My bedroom is always my first priority when I move into a new house.

I like the fact that half the bed isn't covered in a multitude of pillows.

tyrven April 12 2009, 01:35:10 UTC

And it's not enough! I always sleep with two pillows. And prefer to have a pillow for my feet too. And also one for my side. Haha. You can never have too many pillows!

You need one of those maternity pillows that are marketed toward pregnant women. They are HUGE.

But do you have all those little pillows made out of attractive but scratchy fabrics and hold no real use as a pillow other than to look mildly interesting next to the eight million other pillows? Useful pillows are one thing, but all those extra pillows that do nothing except lay around like some cheap whore? What are those about? I might even forgive the existence of a bolster as it does something.

I'm opposed to useless pillows! We do have some decor pillows on our sectional - but they're velvety soft and still totally usable. Katie also made some using cheap pop-art material she found at Ikea for like $0.99/yard; they're not as comfortable, but they're perfect for sitting on or giving the other pillows extra height.

I was pretty lucky - most everything in this room (the vicrola, tusk, screen, rocking chair) were inherited from my gradfather. They're all beautiful pieces and go really nicely together.

Very nice.

Funny...that is the *EXACT* platform bed I've been eying. Any complaints?

tyrven April 12 2009, 01:38:49 UTC

My only complaint is that it's so large that it covers up the windows slightly and actually has to be a couple inches off-center in order for the balcony doors to open. Not really complaints :) just considerations. Outside of that, I really like it. I'm partial to platform beds.

Neither Katie or I thought we needed a king sized bed; we upgraded mostly because we liked the furniture. Turns out having a king is really nice.
