This week my favorite thing is my bedroom. By the time I graduated from college and was able to afford my own furniture (I lived in a furnished apartment for many years), I was almost 30. Taking a page from my mother's life, who had bought her first new bedroom set at the age of 30 (one which she still uses today), I pretty much decided that whatever came home was going to be around for awhile. So I bought exactly what I wanted (I was a successful single working girl at that point, so there was no spouse to exercise veto power).

| The bed |
My bedtime reading pretty much ensures I dream of quilts. Then there is the ric a rack on the chest and dresser:
 |
| Fan from Indonesia |
 |
| My baby and a candle she made |
 |
| Lady Bug box from Kiddo |
 |
| Side view |
 |
| Butterfly Box |
 |
| Bull Frog (my guy's) |
There are lots of other things with special memories; our engagement pictures, our wedding announcement, and a big jar of change. A framed scrappy 4 patch pieced shape of TX (it didn't photograph very well or I'd have shown it), a glass Chinese ornament and a more recent photo of kiddo also sit on the chest. It's not fancy, but it's home.
Hop over to Quilting in My Pyjamas to check out this week's assortment of favorite things.

That bed sure makes a statement!
I love your bed too. I always wanted a bed just like this so I could channel MY inner princess...
Thankyou for the tour of your bedroom and your gorgeous bed. Love the things kiddo made and you have in your room too.
PS. I ended up getting a sleigh bed , so I could pretend I was Santa.
Your room looks so cozy. I love the bed. I recently got a new bed and wavered between the canopy and a sleigh bed. I could not find a canopy as lovely as yours so went with the sleigh bed :)
What a cool bed..I am sure that ensures good greams every night
Gorgeous bed! The quilt suits it perfectely, doesn't it? :o) Your cozy bedroom is a fabulous favourite. Thanks for sharing. Happy FTF! :o)
Love the bed! Put some heavy brocade drapes on it and it would be like something out of Dickens. I love the idea of a bed with drapes. Very cozy.
Thanks for sharing! Happy FTF
I love that bed and as soon as the kiddos are older, I say put fabric back up. :) Hubby's quilt is a perfect compliment to that frame, also. Nice!
That is an amazing bed. I should really look into making my bedroom one of my favorite things. It's very utilitarian right now.
Wow love the bed, it looks amazing. Love your stack of books too, some great reading!
Thanks for sharing your room! It looks like a great place to relax. We have several frogs like the one in the picture.
I guess this bed is like an island that you can retreat to whenever you feel the need.
cheers

That is a beautiful bed (and the quilt on it too). Your reading stack looks a lot like mine. I've got the same book on the top of my stack at the moment too!
