The bed room is sage green, the bedspread grey with purple orchid blossoms on it

My bed room contains one six drawer dresser with a mirror over the top, one queen bed with a sleep number mattress (my sleep number is 90, my husband’s is 75), two nightstands with drawers and a standing chest.

On top of the cherry chest is a TV with a built in DVD player. All are in cherry and are Ethan Allen shaker style. The nightstands both have glass lamps on them and the shelve under the nightstand contains books – lots of books, favorite novels by A.S. Byatt and Jane Austen, books on raising children, books about historical events.
