5 Musts for Any Bedroom

There are three kinds of bedroom in any house: the master, the kid's and
the guest's. And each of these rooms has essentials to making it feel like home! The bedroom is the room of sanctuary and escape, which means different things to each of these three types.

FOR YOU, the "master," it's a place to rest and read and begin and end your day. FOR KIDS, in my experience at least, it's a place where they battle to stay awake! So it's important to have all the tricks to set a mellow mood where you can lull them to sleep and not interrupt them once they finally are asleep. And FOR GUESTS, it's a home away from home, so provide as many comforts as you can, including a place to check email, to put things, and a door to close when they want privacy.

“Literature is mostly about having sex
and not much about having kids; life is the
other way around.”
—DAVID LODGE

The "master" isn't always the master of this room! But when you get those precious moments to call your own, make sure you have all the comforts you need close at hand:<br />
<br />
1. a piece of art you love<br />
Â Â Â to open your eyes to<br />
2. a good blanket<br />
3. a good bed (for sleeping<br />
Â Â Â AND jumping)<br />
4. a reading light<br />
5. books
