Take a look at this piece from Blueprint magazine. Our Cottage bed was featured in the antique white finish. The article showcases the Cottage’s versatility in various settings. Depending on the way the bed is dressed and the room is furnished, the Cottage can have a stately, mature look, a vibrant feminine appeal, or a more masculine feel. The possibilities are endless. It’s all in the way you frame it.

Brimfield Antique Show
First impressions might peg Brimfield, Massachusetts, as a sleepy, unassuming little town. Three times a year, though, the tiny, centuries old New England settlement comes to life as the host of the legendary Brimfield Antique show. Every May, July, and September since the 1950s, a phalanx of antique dealers, collectors, and admirers has descended upon Brimfield for six days to peddle their wares. Brimfield is the Woodstock of antique shows. As many as a quarter of a million people flood the town every year to peruse the show’s dense network of makeshift storefronts and flea markets, some hoping to offload valuable heirlooms, others looking to come away with a new treasure, others still to soak up some good old-fashioned Americana. The show hits Brimfield again next month, from September 7th to the 12th.

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese spiritual practice that ties the beauty and design of one’s surroundings to one’s inner peace, if I may crystallize thousands of years of architecture, design, and philosophy into one half of a sentence. You can apply simple principals of feng shui to your own living space to make it a more tranquil and pleasant experience. It’s about feeling at ease where you lay your head, clearing the clutter out of your daily life.
Soothing colors are important. Harsh or clashing color schemes that aren’t pleasing to the eye lead to bad vibes. Likewise, a propensity for electronics, work desks, and things of that nature in your living space attracts the wrong kind of attention as well. Bed location is important. Your bed easily and comfortably accessible from both sides. Anything that leads to stress and discomfort should be banished from your bedroom. Take a look around your bedroom. Move things around a bit. Experiment. You’ll feel better in no time.
Here, this might help, and try not to fall asleep until you put the crystal up in your own room.

Charles P. Rogers recently got a nod in Erin Loechner’s prestigious Design for Life blog. A couple weeks back Erin posted a whimsical list of her ten unbreakable house rules of design. It’s a great list, chock full of great advice for maintaining a comfy and warm living environment in your home. Tucked away in the number five rule (“Only white linens are allowed on the bed”) is a link to our 400 thread count Prima cotton bedding ensemble. Thanks, Erin! We love you too!
