Fabulously feminine

We celebrated Women's Day earlier this month, and actually like the idea of dedicating the entire month of August to all the fabulous women out there. Is it not amazing that all the opposites you can think of apply in equal measure to most women you know ?  Soft, strong. Gentle, forceful. Demure, Sexy. Calm, passionate. Tolerant. Stubborn. Wilful. Giving. Playful. Kind... endless adjectives.

So what is your idea of a feminine bedroom? Is it soft, romantic drapes? Pure white linen? Crisp cottons or sexy silk? Or lace, frills and flounces? Florals? Girly pink or femme fatale red? Here are just a few examples of what we consider feminine bedrooms!

It hardly gets more girly than this: soft blush pink and oodles of flounces:



Soft pastels and florals against crisp white makes for a fresh, wholesome look.

A lush drapery above the bed, coupled with layers of softly frilled pillows in gentle, winter white, creates a romantic hideaway:
