The Magic room
The MAGIC ROOM is the room we all deserve. Look at the rooms in the home fashion magazines—these are MAGIC ROOMS. We can imagine living some kind of wonderful life in each of them. One room says, “I am glamour, I am fun, I am all white satin and cream for rugs and clear Lucite tables and a single orchid.” Or a
family room says, “I am all masculine leisure—stone fireplace, bear rug, antiqued leather sofas, and oak-paneled walls.” Another room breathes, “I am the nursery, I am innocence and lace and lullabies, a soft tinkle of Brahms on an antique music box. I am love and pink fuzzy blankets and little pillowcases embroidered with ‘Now I lay me down to sleep’.” We’ve all admired rooms like these, so why not have one of your own? Anybody can. Believe me, it’s just a matter of reading on and tackling the problem step by step.
