Bedroom Bliss – Luxurious Beds
In a previous post I wrote about the English company And so to bed, which produces beds beyond the ordinary. Their beds are truly “to dream about”, they are expensive as hell and the size of the beds means that they are best suited to really large rooms, the kind found in castles and manors.…
