As you enter, you are immediately struck by the comfort and coziness. The center of the room is the 4 poster bed centered on a raised dais. After all, the focus of a harem should be the bed. It is roughly the size of 2 King's side by side. Diaphanous silks in various shades of green and rose hang from the ceiling to cover the 4-poster. The sheets are the softest of Egyptian Cotton in ecru with lace trim. The duvet cover is a darker ecru on one side, and striped Hunter Green and ecru on the other. Numerous pillows in all shapes and sizes are strewn at the head, with various prints of the same stripes, green vines, rust and rose colored Cabbage Roses and Irish laces.

A large bay window faces east to greet the sun, with a window seat perfect for 2 upholstered in the same green vine pattern. Throw pillows in the same prints as the bed are strewn about, and the seat can be raised for additional storage of treasures and linens. Surrounding the windows are intricate ivory lace curtains. Cashmere, the white and brown feline, can usually be found stretched out enjoying the sun on the window seat. On one side of the window seat is a light wood gliding rocker with deep green cushions, with a large basket of threads and the current cross-stitch project next to it - usually a baroque angel done on linen. The other side of the window has an antique chaise, upholstered in the Cabbage Rose pattern from the pillows.

One wall is a floor to ceiling bookcase - some shelves filled to overflowing with novels, self-help books, romances, metaphysical books, mysteries; others gathering nick-nacks that hold personal memories. The open spaces on the remaining walls are tastefully decorated with priceless paintings of the masters, as well as works by friends and former lovers. (This is fantasy, right?)

The beautiful blonde hardwood floors are covered with Persian rugs. Wouldn't want BFLG to chill those precious toes. In one corner is a large, antique white ladies roll top desk holding the latest in computer equipment, a CD player, (usually playing classic Jazz and anything by Joe Dawson/Jim Burnes or show tunes), TV and VCR, and plenty of space for writing. One wall is taken up by a similar antique white wardrobe, which actually hides the entrance to a walk-in closet.

The large stone fireplace has a brilliant brass grate in front, because Cashmere loves to explore in the ashes, and the goats are not always keen on cleaning her up. (Maybe Cassieho can help.) The mantle holds mementos from many of my and the Master's travels. Each side is flanked by intricate moldings in the same vine pattern. In front of the fireplace is a low table, to do Tarot readings for my Harem Sisters, while we are comfortably nestled in more huge pillows of all sizes and designs.

The lighting is subdued; during the day, the sun provides most of the illumination. In the evening, the stars are so brilliant, who would want anything more. When additional lighting is necessary, candles are preferred over all. On each side of the bed is a table, with a small reading lamp, and stacks of books just waiting to be read. One table holds an alarm clock (don't want to miss my turn with the Master).

The bathroom is done in barely pink marble. There is a jacuzzi tub, with a separate shower, large enough to not need an enclosure of any type. One wall holds the marble sink with brass fixtures and counter top, and a large mirror housed in a white wood frame. Green plants hang from the ceiling, and rest on the counter and around the bath. An assortment of spa essentials are within easy reach.

So please, visit as long as you like. I love company, and want my chamber to be a warm welcoming one. Many of my activities take place in the common rooms or outdoors, as I enjoy so much the company of my sisters. But, if the house is a rockin', don't come a knockin'. It will be either Methos, or DM, or Joe, or one of the guys we picked up on our shopping trip.... But then again, I am sworn to share......

My room would be cluttered with books, books, more books. It would have X-File and Tori Amos posters all over the walls. Several stuffed kitties sitting on my desk, bookshelves, books, TV, computer, bed, etc. I'd also a few living cats hanging around me, since I wouldn't have to worry about my mom's allergies or dorm policies anymore. I'd have stick incense--vanilla, strawberry, cherry etc. There would be a bulletin board decorated with bookmarks with cats on them. (They really shouldn't stick those stupid things on racks next to the register when there s a line.) I'd get myself a nice CD player, so I don't have to listen them on the computer anymore. A ball of polished smoky quartz would sit on the desk next to the computer, and I'd have white curtains on the windows.

Medieval decor - Dark Panelled walls. with a huge stain glass window of a gryphon. It is actuallt French doors and opens on to an English knot garden, mostly with lavender. Off to the right is the horse padddock so I can see the horses. Hanging on one wall is a large tapestry of a green dragon in flight. If you look behind the tapestry you will find the computer room. There is no bed just a large down mattress on the floor with pillows down in rich brocades (burgundy,hunter green & deep purple). By the window is a perch and sitting on the birch is my gyrfalcon. The floor is tile in the pattern of a pentagram done in gold, purple and BLUE! The room is lit by candlw scones in the wall. Along another wall is a large bookcase contain mostly fantasy - Mercedes Lackey, Anne Macaffrey etc. Playing on the CD is Clannad or Enya or other Celtic groups. Lying on the rug by the huge Fire place is an Irish Wolf hound and a Scottish Deer Hound.

The dark panelling came from a medieval church that was being destroyed. The pentagram on the floor is used for my Wiccan religious ceremonies (I always wanted to be one) so technically this is holy ground. This way the Master will feel safe in my room. I fogot a closet for clothes. It would have to be fairly largw because I have a few outfits that I wear for Renfest. Right now I'm working on a 1860's hoop skirt. Next is an Edwardian outfit. Now for the bathroom. When you walk in you notice the large sunken tub done in tiles. When you look into the bottom of the tub you find a dolphin mozaic at the bottom. If you look up at the ceiling you will see a painting of fairies and elves as well as other fantasy animal dancing in a fairy ring. This is what you would see if you lay in the tub. There is a pale green sink and a large mirror above it. Also behind on the opposite wall is a mirror so that I can see to french braid my hair.
