Sweet Dreams
By Babs Rodriguez
Of all the ways we transform our houses into homes, furnishing a bedroom is perhaps the most mindful. Our most private room, the place we go to dream is where we return to our most vulnerable, childlike selves. With comfort top of mind, the design choices we make for our sleeping space illustrate feng shui at its most intuitive. Decide what you need to let go of the day’s cares and make those long winter nights therapeutic.
