Warm Red Micro Fleece Blanket

It has suddenly become really cold in the evenings here. After a gorgeous summer and mild Autumn we are starting to feel the cold. I am aware that in some countries there is already a huge fall of snow.  So as I sit here in front of a roaring fire I started to think about what would be warm and cosy at this time. I found this lovely  blanket, throw in red and thought that would be perfect!  A beautiful red throw is really warming and lovely for the winter time. In our living room we bring in a red rug and warm coloured throws and blankets and it really does make a difference to the feel of a room. Tache 63 x 87 Inches Holiday Red Super Soft Warm Sherpa Micro Fleece Throw Blanket If you normally have a very neutral bedroom or a white bedroom, then a touch of red in a throw like this can really warm up the look and feel of the bedroom for the winter.  It would be lovely to layer it over the bed or keep it on a chair to add those extra layers when it gets cold i...

TV In The Bedroom - Yes Or No?

Image
Growing up we had one TV in the lounge and that was it. Today my husband and I have just one TV in the lounge. We have never had a TV in our bedroom. To me a bedroom is for sleep, relaxation and intimacy. It always takes me a while to wind down at the end of the day. I think TV would quite possibly destroy that for me.  However, I know that many people have TV's in their bedrooms and they like it that way. They find it adds to their sanctuary and time away from responsibility.  Many of their teenage children also have TV in their bedroom.   Also, my Mum, who lives alone now since Dad died, loves having a TV in her bedroom. She says she can go to bed early if she likes and watch her favourite programs and feel safe and warm and all cosy, especially in winter. I also can see how it would be useful if you are more comfortable in bed due to physical conditions or if indeed you spend most of your time in bed due to illness. I understand some beds are now made with an i...

The Lord's Promise Religious Tapestry Throw.

Image
A Beautiful tapestry throw with a lovely verse.  How wonderful to drift off to sleep with those words in your mind. Would make you feel all safe and calm and comforted.   The Lord's Promise Religious Tapestry Throw Blanket . It is in cotton tapestry  with a lovely calm nature scene of trees and countryside. It would look lovely in many bedrooms with its greens and greys and browns, nothing shouts out at you in this throw. It has small fringing around all four sides. I think you may even be able to use this as a wall hanging with the correct fixtures. It is not an over thick throw. It would make a lovely gift for someone who appreciates these sort of sayings and sentiments. It measures 50 inches by 60 inches so large enough to drape over a chair or the end of the bed. On a practical note it is machine washable so very easy care.  

De Clutter The Bedroom For A Tranquil Environment.

Image
In an ideal world a bedroom should be a sanctuary, a clean and uncluttered place to drift off into sleep.  I know in reality many of our bedrooms are not like this but especially if you are struggling to sleep it might be a good idea to try. If our bedrooms are full of the stuff of daily life then it is no surprise that may of us find it had to switch off and gently nod off. If bills are on the dressing table, toys on the floor, washing piled up in the corner and lists of stuff to do ready by the bedside table, it is hardly surprising that we cannot switch off. I find it really hard to sleep well in a cluttered bedroom. The recommendation is that we de clutter and keep clean our bedrooms. Find or buy a storage unit that the clutter can go into out of sight, but accessible if you need it. Get a laundry basket and if no room in the bedroom, relocate it to the bathroom or other room. Paperwork and office work should be banished altogether or at least hidden away.  Surfa...

A warm welcome to Your Beautiful Bedroom For Better Sleep.  Here we will consider everything about sleep. Partly it is about how to prepare for sleep, sleep hygiene, relaxation, good sleep practices and suggestions to help sleep.  Partly it is about getting the environment as good as it can be for you. So we will look at beautiful comfortable bedding, sheets and pillows. Gorgeous blankets and throws to make the bedroom an inviting place to be and to relax into restful sleep. We will also look at children's nurseries and bedrooms. Pretty bedding and fun interesting decor for them. We may even dip into slippers and onesies or cosy nightwear. Good restful sleep is so important to our health and well being, it is worth paying attention to it.    I hope that as time goes on you will find something here that you is interesting or that you would like to own for your own bedrooms at home.
