The Prettiest Bed in America

Forgive me for prodding the collective summer brain with a book reference, but perhaps you recall Oblomov? The laziest man in literature was Russian, from the 19th century, fat, happy, and spent over 100 pages lolling in bed. What bliss! (At least as a break between conquering adventurous eco-vacations.) Read into my psyche what you want, but he was a childhood hero, a far as fictional characters go. And as far as bed medicine being the best medicine around for anything that might ail you (or not, if you're a content loll-er), the Dácor Doctor recommends Kerry Cassill handmade, vegetable-dyed bedding. Mix and match these traditional, colorful patterns, pile on the pillows and throws, and have your bed be the star of the bedroom, if not your life.
