My bedroom furniture is funky and eclectic

My bedroom furniture is funky and eclectic at the moment, which is actually a pretty good description of my life as well.

The dominant piece of furniture in the room is a queen size bed with a brass headboard and foot board.

After too many years of being scrunched up and uncomfortable on small, hard and narrow European beds, I vowed that I would get a soft and comfortable bed as soon as I moved back to the states.

The rest of the furniture in the bedroom is more practical, although definitely not as soft. In the last six months, I have accumulated more than my fair share of bruises on my shins after bumping myself on my glass cube night stand.

I keep telling my husband that the bruises and the night stand could be saved, if we would just invest in a nice night light. Unfortunately, we have not been able to agree on one and we are also still waiting to find the ‘perfect’ dresser that will satisfy the clothes fiend in me and my husband’s practical soul.

In addition to the pieces of furniture and the throw pillows scattered around the floor, we also have a large television on the wall. I am not sure how I feel about televisions in the bedroom, but I guess I am getting used to it slowly but surely.

I guess that it is easier to get used to some nights when there are great old movies on cable, rather than the nights when I am forced to endure watching 4 different sporting events on different channels as I am nodding off to sleep.

By the way, speaking of sleep, we have lovely down comforters to stay warm at night (I usually sleep with two in the winter months) and heaps of soft down pillows in the room.

Quite honestly, although I am comfortable with the furniture, I am not sure what I would opt for if I got a do-over — maybe a four poster bed with pretty pink linens and an airy cottage feel to it, maybe a dark and serious oak sleigh bed.

Don’t worry, honey, I promise no more furniture shopping … at least for the next month or two.
