“I think my bedroom is my favorite room in the house — when it’s clean, of course — which is not often. My kids are constantly throwing their stuff around my room. It’s how it goes. When I move into a new house, the bedroom is usually the first room I redo. I think that’s where you have peace after a day of crazy. I don’t put a television in the bedroom. I like to make the bedroom a room of solace. I think you sleep better that way. I see some people who have a workspace in their bedroom; I think that’s a bad idea. This particular bedroom has very high ceilings, which make a room appear a lot bigger than it actually is. I like that. I think your bedroom should be the one place that you can relax in your house.”

Some of these pieces were painted by my mother, as she is an artist. A couple of pieces I bought from other artists. I love art and since my mother is an artist, she advises me on what is good art and what is what she would call ‘decorative’. Ha!”

“I love feminine mixed with masculine. I love this chandelier against the brick wall when you walk into the room. I have a different duvet cover for every season. I know, I know, I’m crazy. This one on the bed here is my spring cover. As you can see, I am in the middle of painting my bed. I started and then I didn’t like the white color. I’m in the middle of finding a new one ... it’s all a work in progress.”

“I love this mirror. It’s huge. I can’t even remember where I got it, but I love it so much. It’s in between two windows to the outside balcony. It’s also good to have a big mirror around to check yourself out before you leave just to make sure, you know, you don’t have panty lines and stuff like that.”
