Okay folks get your minds out of the gutter! When I mentioned the pending sexy bedroom post, y'all seemed to assume I was referring to the homecoming with Todd after my NY trip(Todd included...he was psyched) C’mon, people! Would I kiss and tell?
What I was referring to was the master bedroom that stands alone in my mind as a living breathing entity in the CT home the workshop took place in. The homeowners generously donated their space for three days and considering there were about 20 of us drinking coffee all day, all three bathrooms were in use.
I must say, once I got wind of the sexy bedroom you had to walk through to get to the master bathroom, I never used any of the others. It kept pulling me in.
Erotic pictures (not porn) hung on the walls. Nudes, everywhere. The bedding was not too frilly, not too masculine. Care had definately been taken to "set the stage."
My thoughts went to our own bedroom, back in Virginia. Sure, we "get together" often enough but our room ain't no "love shack."
Hmmm.....Let’s see.
Plain white walls.
The comfiest cosiest bed ever.
Two night stands on either side with magazines, tissues, phone, TV remote, and a clock.
On one dresser, a big clear plastic storage bin that serves as our medicine cabinet. On top of said medicine cabinet are boxes of tampons and Stayfree night time maxi pads. There are also old newspapers from our trip to Tennessee (back in July), some lotions and a small 13 inch TV.
The other dresser is worse. On it...the iron, much dust, a pile of clothes, a jewelry box and diaper supplies. (Seth hasn’t worn a diaper in half a year).
The only art in this room is a wall hanging about "brotherhood" (to Todd on his 40th from his wonderful brother Tim) and a picture of Pope John Paul II (a wedding gift from Todd’s parents which came with a blessing on our marriage).
Um....you see where I'm going here?

Until I witnessed the sexy bedroom, it hadn't occured to me that our room is the only one in the house we haven't spent any time decorating, almost two years after moving in. How sad is that?
If you believe, as I do, that we create our own reality....and that what you focus on expands, you can see why this would be an upsetting revelation!
So...I'm on a mission to sexify the bedroom.
When I'm done, maybe I'll even post sexy pictures!
Of the room people...geesh.
Y'all are perverts.

Sounds like a fun project! Let us know how it goes - the decorating that is! ;)
Oh, no, Michelle.
I know perverts. And your readers are no perverts!
Seriously, sprucing up your room is a great idea. Sets a tone, you know. Can't wait for updates.
BTW--what was so terrific about the sexy bedroom? What drew you so?
Yes, Jerri, according to your last post...you DO know perverts!
I think it was just the fact that this couple made the bedroom a romantic, sexy "nest" that really got me. Not one painting or photo specifically.
It really made me think about our bedroom and cringe!
i heard this post was coming. very nice, very nice. i, of course, in true form, closed my eyes and did not look at the nudes (kidding, kidding, sort of). and okay, i'll cut you some slack about the NYC thing, but...you should have called me. i would have shown you all the great spots - but you're right - the great spots are usually about the great people.
Ah, come on...just because one lives vicariously, it doesn't make one a pervert. I thought writers wanted to allow their readers to live vicariously...
non?
We are guilty of the same thing, although our kids still spend a great deal of time in our room, so in our case, the first order of business in creating a "sexy budoir" is to banish the children from ever entering. Hmm, I'll let you know how that goes. Keep me posted on your project!
Michelle,
This blog posting is great. I was totally inspired too -- not to hang nudie art in my room (though the artwort was intersting), but to make me and my hubby's bedroom a sexier, more romantic, place.
You've inspired me to re-think the Little Tykes basketball hoop, Casio keyboard, scattered recorders and stuffed animals and Goldfish crackers that litter OUR bedroom!
Thank you for making me more than a legend in just my own mnd, but now in the whole world. Glad you enjoyed the mood.
The best,
Sid
