not to be ignored {bedroom inspiration}

I hear it all the time--that the bedroom is the one room that people haven't focused their decorating energy on. These people, like me, have rather invested in to the public spaces of the home. However, this should not be the case--the room that one retreats to each evening for sleep and relaxation deserves the same attention if not more than other rooms in the house. Just like these..

I love their use of furniture other than a bed in a room to create one or even more cozy sitting areas...
