Loretta reports:
Some of the magazine descriptions of clothing, houses, and furnishings are as charming and interesting as the items themselves. This bed is a great example. It strikes me as delightfully fanciful, and I like the way it's described as a balance between English and French taste. I also like the options of decorating with more "chasteness" or more "gaiety."
