February is "Bedroom Month"

2005_2_14_canopy.jpgBeds, beds, beds.... In case you're just tuning in, were on a hunt for bedrooms this month: perfect ones, personal ones, sexy ones, good sleeping ones... With our Most Beautiful Bedroom In NYC Competition and adding listings to our Stores Guide for bed and bedding stores in the area, we hope to kill this niche (for awhile at least).

If anyone has a tip on where to find the best bed or bedding, please send us a comment below.

Several years ago I spotted some sheets printed with text in French. My French is not good, but I think it was the famous opening text for Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past." Has anybody seen these sheets and know where they might be available?

I think they were at Garnet Hill, but haven't seen them there in a while.

I have no tips, I come here for tips.

take this illustration of the purple canopy over the magenta bed, for example - that's a great canopy, although the bed itself looks a little too sloped to be comfortable. Where's it from?

yup, i remember those sheets from garnet hill, too. they were supposedly someone's journal translated into french. i've kicked myself a couple of times for not buying them. maybe if a bunch of us write g. hill and clamor for them. . .?

mj, checked it out -- ironically, those are the garnet hill sheets in the met home house.

I inquired Garnet Hill through email and recieved the following-

Thank you for your email.
Our French written bedding, though not a translation of Marcel Proust's
work, will be offered again in the summer catalog. However, if you would
like to place an order for it, you can do so over the phone by referring
to item #0885. This bedding is expected to the warehouse mid-March.
Thank you for your interest in Garnet Hill.

Sincerely,
Caroline
