I decided to keep the bedroom as bare as possible and avoid using fluorescent lights. I used semi-blackout curtains so that I can naturally wake up in the morning, and since I usually read before bed, I placed an IKEA table instead of a bedside table. I chose an affordable and simple frame, but placed more emphasis on the mattress. I also hung up Van Gogh's *The Almond Blossom Tree*, which I love, as it is a painting that symbolizes new beginnings and the joy of life. I also placed the wedding dress lamp and candles I received as a wedding gift. Since they have wooden wicks, I love the crackling sound they make as they burn.
