i have a bedroom

it is part of a house built in 1868. it has a bay window that allows the sun to pour in. the walls are painted a muted teal. the walls still have the arms for lamps that once lit the space with gas lights. i use the arms now to hang hats. the ceiling has a variety of cracks in the plaster. i lay on my bed and look up, remarking to myself that it looks like a giant map, would never fix it. in the center of the ceiling is an original light fixture in a medallion shape with flowers. the floor is original dark wood that creeks with every step. my room talks to me.

i've furnished the space with an eclectic combination of a dresser that once belonged to my brother, an antique dresser, a queen ann chest of drawers, an oak captain's bed, 2 vintage bureaus and an artist's drawing table. a gal can't have enough drawers, (wink).

there are red, sheer window treatments embroidered in gold that frame the windows that compliment the walls and my bedding's mood changes with my mood. i have several options for the seasons, light and cheery for summer and warm and cozy colors for frigid nights.

let's not forget the red candles and nicknacks collected from my stays in California, Colorado and Minnesota. my bedroom holds secrets that i revisit in dreams.

some or most would consider my bedroom cluttered or too colorful. i love it and would never strip my room of myself.

Yes it was an unfortunate moment in the sound of music when the children wore curtains and hid
themselves.



When I think of my favorites things, I don't feel so bad
either.As I am usually laying on my bed as well
in my genie bottle. I am smoky.
( wink).
my curtains wouldn't offer much coverage rolling on the floor laughing
That doesn't matter in Freedom Pennsylvania! applause
I think that was the origin of singing and dancing.
Those graceful bedouins, ghazals.
Rose, i have many drawers so no need for curtains. i prefer my wet-look catsuit
I wished I be inactive for more some time. But I had to login as your utterances were so artistically articulated and so I was forced to log in even though I knew that, that bloody 'captcha' must be there and in spite of that ordeal I logged in. Could you ever feel my pain let alone the feelings. rolling on the floor laughing

I had a house that was really old earlier- I never worried at night about locks. The hardwood flooring and stairs squeaked like a hundred burglar alars.
i love my old house. sometimes i imagine all the little feet that must have run around while ma made dinner and pa smoked his pipe
Have you seen the movie: Lady of the Manor?wine
Luke, i have not. tell me about it
Sounds very nice Palm. wow

Do you have any ghosts living in?
Dan, if there are ghosts, they are shy
Maybe you're intimidating them? wink
it's kind of them not to scare me
I'll  go one better and copy n paste the synopsis for you. Has some good laughs in.


Past and present collide in this supernaturally funny buddy comedy when stoner-slacker Hannah (Melanie Lynskey) is hired to portray Lady Wadsworth (Judy Greer), a Southern belle who died in 1875, in a tour at Wadsworth Manor. Hannah, a hot mess, figures she can fake it —until the ghost of Lady Wadsworth appears! Lady Wadsworth tells Hannah it’s time to change her wild ways — and she’ll haunt her until she does.laugh
sounds like a good one.
Wasn't too bad. I was forced to watched it with someone cos I lost a bet.
laugh wave
rolling on the floor laughing

at least $ wasn't involved
you're a character
Neither here nor there my cherub but regardless of the Waltons saying goodnight and Laura Ingils french kissing in the USA. Surely, surely we can compromise

"it is part of a house built in 1868".........Oh my goodness. Please my love, please say it isn't so........are you "white"?

The shock, horror is almost as heavy as the rock I carry.
