Certain colors create  feeling of  rest and calm.  Bright tones are more contemporary and youthful.   Here are a few rooms where color creates mood.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaWXvJAuNRHsDfNRjwKA7W2FLYbS41aMWOV-hHy2XMH6uOuabty1N2Juc5tKOJFIHpZD1a58mqoyWPhKB49kCMl9TqX2L6EQmmO_zGOyg_13odAfLTcTlLA9aBkapals4LlbR0jJhUU60/s1600-h/5b3976084271.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388966373392838994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaWXvJAuNRHsDfNRjwKA7W2FLYbS41aMWOV-hHy2XMH6uOuabty1N2Juc5tKOJFIHpZD1a58mqoyWPhKB49kCMl9TqX2L6EQmmO_zGOyg_13odAfLTcTlLA9aBkapals4LlbR0jJhUU60/s1600/5b3976084271.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cozy, masculine</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ksvJvkEmSqFrl9ZrRBZt-hEov0sUj5jeXoCKTRPaiGIcOdFP3wrtT5NSWhL8ECFYt-ZHQL5yJl_uGv-AalOSqUTJCyOa6xpzLzr0UyVvZOaD2L45eOcGsiiSlPVKrPzvWRUt64Unhgs/s1600-h/accb0f9278ef.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388966393033275730" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ksvJvkEmSqFrl9ZrRBZt-hEov0sUj5jeXoCKTRPaiGIcOdFP3wrtT5NSWhL8ECFYt-ZHQL5yJl_uGv-AalOSqUTJCyOa6xpzLzr0UyVvZOaD2L45eOcGsiiSlPVKrPzvWRUt64Unhgs/s1600/accb0f9278ef.jpg" /></a><br /><br />calm and soothing</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhClW2cUPIggQDZtQUsJGZExgYxqmN_wTl9h39Z0HPsx2lo6B7ito8IffFU8nv5mvnLBKxIv-wZUPWRrBVjOWCXq3MIr208YzLuDO7W_ZaHraptnNy7EtE-VIu4RSyTZAyto7ZdHhkXzfER/s1600-h/6a00e54fccb6d288340115715b3640970c-800wi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhClW2cUPIggQDZtQUsJGZExgYxqmN_wTl9h39Z0HPsx2lo6B7ito8IffFU8nv5mvnLBKxIv-wZUPWRrBVjOWCXq3MIr208YzLuDO7W_ZaHraptnNy7EtE-VIu4RSyTZAyto7ZdHhkXzfER/s1600/6a00e54fccb6d288340115715b3640970c-800wi.jpg" /></a></div>fresh and clean<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZtlkTwK5y2cWgSNSIh2nHzMxVwfvls4QjpTBYV9h7GD8N2IhmpffZbKurBywxmqbZv8bvyenwUQiJzaswy-XKX1jYJy0z64q40SAuOi9ffNUKLL7mLDKXVgaKVF9BoCdWeCsGSFRLPim3/s1600-h/IMG_1244.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="458" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZtlkTwK5y2cWgSNSIh2nHzMxVwfvls4QjpTBYV9h7GD8N2IhmpffZbKurBywxmqbZv8bvyenwUQiJzaswy-XKX1jYJy0z64q40SAuOi9ffNUKLL7mLDKXVgaKVF9BoCdWeCsGSFRLPim3/s640/IMG_1244.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">warm, inviting</div><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">DRESSING THE BED</div><div style="text-align: center;">The focal point of a bedroom should be, of course, the bed.  <br /><br />It should invite, be comfortable, and be beautiful. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKriSQhAa5Yp8oYYKX8OYrBAHBl0-WSRPa5yxiOigqffnSZrUoyVPGo_eJrnlc5JXlU80hH3_gZXfx8AJekpZPL_zhbicckD55VWeQsnOlstMFeC_aPl4oGAT2sa9jFFCyz26rtD3TXAhJ/s1600-h/Gold+Bedding.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKriSQhAa5Yp8oYYKX8OYrBAHBl0-WSRPa5yxiOigqffnSZrUoyVPGo_eJrnlc5JXlU80hH3_gZXfx8AJekpZPL_zhbicckD55VWeQsnOlstMFeC_aPl4oGAT2sa9jFFCyz26rtD3TXAhJ/s1600/Gold+Bedding.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1fMc6N_2msxODc7AFijRTVldj6wQ7BgpO5ukK_SrGy-4cO94gpOn0U9MvA9vBBmwC36NMG3OnnDLajsMbQcizTHLSqLNZPp_G4ZVcwiZUaTEO7aJvgZ5o6lPCFF6iplSzI4PB7Gsj9rxg/s1600-h/HC-8483_mp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1fMc6N_2msxODc7AFijRTVldj6wQ7BgpO5ukK_SrGy-4cO94gpOn0U9MvA9vBBmwC36NMG3OnnDLajsMbQcizTHLSqLNZPp_G4ZVcwiZUaTEO7aJvgZ5o6lPCFF6iplSzI4PB7Gsj9rxg/s640/HC-8483_mp.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Layers are the key when dressing a bed. Whether creating an ultra feminine bed, a clean lined contemporary styled bed, or a childs bed - comfort is expressed in layers. A bed is layered with sheets, blankets, bedspreads, pillows, duvets - all to bring luxury and comfort to your room. High thread count sheets not only wear longer, but feel more luxurious. A down comforter adds warmth without weight. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitqqqXzXj_JCajWqErShPztqR9xrVWxeERgkdhVe-gOr52Y6wfrjY_3rJmAsQ-lLHGutrSKhomhxQkkoSch96IJ8PUb2OCptMuqyjmwI64owkrW7VeohQeHxmY5lYmerrJbpeClHv2wEyc/s1600-h/grand_prize_photo2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitqqqXzXj_JCajWqErShPztqR9xrVWxeERgkdhVe-gOr52Y6wfrjY_3rJmAsQ-lLHGutrSKhomhxQkkoSch96IJ8PUb2OCptMuqyjmwI64owkrW7VeohQeHxmY5lYmerrJbpeClHv2wEyc/s1600/grand_prize_photo2.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyjakvaAVmfrEowoSta8v-zdD3n-fXCvlVb7qwAwI6n_gxFbK980iskLd7oXX2m-wUEkEIHIgYbKn76tWhPlXklDEDDk0nSL48NbydGP9hEVaPheltXYYFzMkISATF6DcbWZTpQhkc2gP7/s1600-h/fresh+green+bedding.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyjakvaAVmfrEowoSta8v-zdD3n-fXCvlVb7qwAwI6n_gxFbK980iskLd7oXX2m-wUEkEIHIgYbKn76tWhPlXklDEDDk0nSL48NbydGP9hEVaPheltXYYFzMkISATF6DcbWZTpQhkc2gP7/s1600/fresh+green+bedding.bmp" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwvc8bv1B1jRZF8L2esmaaGewHnp4HJA45VgZTODsi8MFvPCclRjxz4cvnoA_MlqSkqlCDxkaNSnXwswUBdiU31NGWEyc7zphmbdq0WRhvuAi6yA6pxnpxNqoOIKG4xBADyN6mlbHrmerl/s1600-h/image172_thumb.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="479" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwvc8bv1B1jRZF8L2esmaaGewHnp4HJA45VgZTODsi8MFvPCclRjxz4cvnoA_MlqSkqlCDxkaNSnXwswUBdiU31NGWEyc7zphmbdq0WRhvuAi6yA6pxnpxNqoOIKG4xBADyN6mlbHrmerl/s640/image172_thumb.png" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">An upholstered headboard can add another layer of fabric, color and softness.  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_49cxheR0zoAwlcZdqw3WfDcaDzvX984eRwYWjxIWcnBxMOgH4JSYqqMYSe_aounUIxUnrH7ozMEDdUC2HdnbhjBMFvHhw5M64emhRwM5eO6IPgve5Xj2xzTbzBHNmyKdUpxH3UtlArE/s1600-h/bf01ef2f3240.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388966382346265986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_49cxheR0zoAwlcZdqw3WfDcaDzvX984eRwYWjxIWcnBxMOgH4JSYqqMYSe_aounUIxUnrH7ozMEDdUC2HdnbhjBMFvHhw5M64emhRwM5eO6IPgve5Xj2xzTbzBHNmyKdUpxH3UtlArE/s1600/bf01ef2f3240.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVfhW_ZmDPAs6ObgpZGKimJ_E3B6jXPkWi0pxUFQo1GGvZ2omuBnJ4oSFBso8-lN0No2N6Dtv51Tn-8G43K6LQ2Vxw-D6I9AA2ii3Pql7jTnMettfOHizjLlJTQSWClhVwYZdzomVGJjqQ/s1600-h/1328110_xl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVfhW_ZmDPAs6ObgpZGKimJ_E3B6jXPkWi0pxUFQo1GGvZ2omuBnJ4oSFBso8-lN0No2N6Dtv51Tn-8G43K6LQ2Vxw-D6I9AA2ii3Pql7jTnMettfOHizjLlJTQSWClhVwYZdzomVGJjqQ/s400/1328110_xl.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">FURNISHINGS</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br />Bedroom furniture needs to be functional, but that doesn't mean it needs to be boring.
