Windows, Simple Lines, and Soft Colors Create an Urban Treetop Retreat

Everything about this bedroom is calming, and uncluttered. It's the perfect antidote for a high stress job in one of those skyscrapers on the horizon. Linger in bed on a weekend morning. Read the paper, sip coffee, and enjoy the snug warmth of that puffy down comforter. Sleep with the double-hung windows open to the night breezes. Gaze at the stars until they blur into slumber. Then awaken to the birds' dawn chorus and a rosy sunrise. The room's colors echo mist-filtered sunlight and the leaves of the trees outside the window. The furnishings are open - glass side table, a headboard of thin metal rods, and a windowpane plaid for the comforter. The windows are clear glass panels undivided by muntins. That comforter no doubt inspired the room's color theme, and the green bed linens add enough color to create visual interest. No TV in this bedroom. Let the world go away.
