Anna says, “I love things – I love collecting stuff as you go. Tom has just got back from India and he brought back this lovely bedspread and this amazing singing bowl.” If you have never heard or seen a singing bowl in action before, as I hadn’t, you should - it gave me mystical goose bumps.<br />I really liked being in Anna and Tom’s bedroom. It felt very serene and everything is well placed. Whilst I was taking the pictures, I liked the fact that Omar kept darting in and out, and Anna and Tom just hung out in there, chatting about their plans for the day – it all felt very homely.<br />When I asked Anna and Tom what they’d save if their bedroom were on fire, Anna said, “Tom, Omar, my toy monkey and Skeli, sitting over there on the red lamp – he’s a family heirloom, and been around for as long as I can remember – my Mum even had to sew his arm back on at one point.”<br />Tom said, “Nothing – I’m not attached to anything in here, really. Oh, well maybe I'd save my singing bowl.”<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TjbSmOFCDl0/TcQAQRTvx7I/AAAAAAAAA9U/q2T7z4unmfY/s1600/IMG_4083.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TjbSmOFCDl0/TcQAQRTvx7I/AAAAAAAAA9U/q2T7z4unmfY/s1600/IMG_4083.jpg" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>See more of Anna and Tom - click on </b><a href="http://whatsinyourbedroom.blogspot.com/p/bed-heads.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><i><b>Bed Heads</b></i></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><b> </b></span><b>and scroll down</b></div>

Anna loves knick-knacks and vintage, she has her own blog called, <a href="http://www.yesbrianyoulookterrific.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><i>Yes Brian You Look Terrific</i></span></a>. And her other half is a musician. So, in case you hadn't already guessed, this bedroom doubles up as a music studio and as a result Anna has had to seriously reign in her ‘stuff.’ As Anna says, she has had to create her own little areas, as her things were taking over. At first glance this room looks manic, but it actually feels quite peaceful, however, I think it does have the potential to get a bit hectic, especially when Anna's sorting through her clothes, her boyfriend is moving about, doing his music, and Arthur the cat is springing around getting up to all sorts of mischief. Once a timid rescue cat, Arthur is now a star in his own right and some of his antics can be seen <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><a href="http://miaowmix.blogspot.com/2010/11/busy-just-being-busy.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><i>here</i></span></a> </span>on a blog called Cat Party.<br /><div class="MsoNormal">I asked Anna what she’d save if the bedroom were on fire, she said, “Well, obviously Arthur, and the computer, the computer is so important, it has all of my boyfriends music on it. And I’d quickly grab some photos too.”<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-brNu23qggGo/TVVYjUniABI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/kNdMEj0GQFg/s1600/IMG_3754.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-brNu23qggGo/TVVYjUniABI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/kNdMEj0GQFg/s1600/IMG_3754.jpg" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"><b>See more of Anna & Arthur - click on </b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"><a href="http://whatsinyourbedroom.blogspot.com/p/bed-heads.html" style="color: #666666; text-decoration: none;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><i><b>Bed Heads</b></i></span></a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><b> </b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"><b>and scroll down</b></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"><b>Find Anna on Twitter </b><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/annabosworth"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><b>@annabosworth</b></span></a></span></div>

She shares it with four other people and because of its traditional town house layout it never feels over crowded. Annie has named her bedroom ‘The Cottage’. I love this because it does feel like a little cottage. She was drawn to it four years ago because of its low ceilings and cosy feeling, compared to her previous home of high ceilings and cold warehouse appearance. She’s from North Wales and craves a bit of rural in the city and I think this room definitely gives her that. It over looks gardens, with lots of trees and birds. Being in there felt very peaceful.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I asked Annie… “If your bedroom was on fire, what one item would you save?”…</span><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Because I’m a terrible worrier and if I had to get out quick, I wouldn’t have time to think about saving something sentimental so it would have to be my laptop because my whole life is on it.
