Spring in the Nap Room

Slowly but surely I am sharing a spring tour of our home, one room at a time.

Today is all about the Nap Room, as I call it, because it is where you can nap best in my home.

It’s the first place I look for my husband when I need help with a project!

This room has all of my favorite design elements:

blue and white porcelain

saltillo tile floors

hot pink (bougainvillea from my yard)

soft, muted walls (Reflection by Sherwin Williams)

lots of flea market finds (with both white and stained finishes)

books (my design and gardening books)

brass (flea market finds for sparkle)

mirrors (to move the light)

and a zebra rug on top of a traditional rug

When we remodeled this house 27 years ago, I called this room the study.

That sounded just a little too grand, and when I realized that the ‘study’ had become a place of

rest, and privacy, and the occasional nap, and because I thought it was funny to

create a play on words for grand houses’ map rooms, this room became the Nap Room.

This of course makes perfect sense to me.

And if you are looking for seasonal color inspiration to add to a room,

do what I did: look at your books’ dust jacket covers.

See what I mean?
