My Dream Bedroom

Resort Lifestyle, a luxury interior store in the Cape Quarter district invited me last week to come see their store and to be involved in a Dream Bedroom moodboard project with a few other ladybloggers. We had a couple of eats and I got quite involved in some amazing tea cocktails made by the lovely Jessica of Lady Bonin's Tea Parlour and laced with the Jorgensen's phenomenal Primitiv Vodka and Limoncello. It tasted like a long summer of hedonistic daydrinking.

The moodboards are for the Sunday Times "Heart of the Home" feature and will feature in July to show how moodboards can be a great tool to help you get inspired and organised when creating your dream room.

I couldn't agree more. Just look at a few of my Bedroom pins from my Home Inspiration board on Pinterest

Not sure if you've noticed, but I've got a bit of a thing for neutrals and chandeliers. In a dream world where I had infinite amounts of money and space my bedroom would have the following features:

- a four-post bed 

- a chandelier above the bed

- sheep skin rugs

- a chest at the foot of the bed

- soft lighting that make my naked body look like that of a Victorias Secret model after a big lunch

- a vanity with Hollywood makeup room lighting where all my makeup is always neat and organised and 

  all my brushes are always clean

- a ball and claw bath with yet another chandelier above it

- a beautiful paper room divider to protect my modesty as I do my post-bath moisturising 

- a reading nook with a big bay window and lots of throws and all my favourite books in alphabetical order

- thick beautiful curtains to block out the sun for weekend lie-ins

- a full length mirror that is a little on the "makes you look thinner" side

- plug points - everywhere!

- tall floor lamps in the corners

- a plush couch and small coffee table for those days when I want to take my tea in my room

- no tv

- a washbasin and antique mirror

- a clothing rail 

- lots of scented candles

So, not that much of an ask really. Look out for the feature in the Sunday Times in July.
