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.

I hang my head in shame.
I feel a tune coming on.
I'm not a white knight although I'm Pakeha (google it)
Dedicated to you my freckled love
Just to qualm the forbodden, I can't show my face because I'm a guitarist in an NZ band. I'm not famous or relevant but our band is, hence my sojourns on irrelevant non committal websites like this.
All said and done. I think you're gorgeous and as hypocritical as this sounds esp without showing my face.....you're genuine.
Forgot to add a tune, hence 'Starry, Starry Night'
To be fair, I'm not a fan of Don McLean's songs but Vincent speaks volumes and art is personable.
In other words, you're not fake.
Anyways, signing off now but you have an extraordinary gift......just keep on being you
