A Week of Sundays


"Actually I ran away from school when I was 13. No one could find me, and the police were called. I was just hiding in a little thicket of grass at my school, and went to sleep."

—Zhang Ziyi


The thicket of grass sounds nice, the sky above and all that, but I think I'd choose a room like this one to hide in. I'd sink into those pillows with a good book in my hands and read myself to sleep and let the world go right on trucking without me. Only for a while. This is my Sunday fantasy.

  1. Ah, I so wish we could trade places for a few days - I'm so in need of a raison d'etre and you for leisurely time (which suffocates me now in its vastness).

  2. That is a great room! I would like it too. On the other hand, I also like a simple room.

  3. You and I share many of the same sensibilities. That room looks like heaven to me.

  4. Gorgeous. And aside from the colours and textures and pillows, there's something about a bed pushed into a corner against a window that is so inviting.

  6. When I was a young girl I used to dream about living in a genie's bottle. This is exactly how I imagined it.

  9. Would it be possible to stay in this room for weeks? I'm thinking about sinking in.

  11. That IS an amazing room! I agree with Kathleen's comment about the genie's bottle -- I always envied Barbara Eden her cozy bottle on "I Dream of Jeannie." And it WAS kind of like this!
