What am I supposed to do now?
The Love Island Villa has closed its doors and I am left with a void only the phrase ‘I’ve got a text’ will fill. If you’re like me you’re probably asking the question how did Tommy and Molly-Mae not win!! But also and most importantly ‘how on earth will I survive?’ Binge watch the previous series on Netflix? Install an app on your phone to count down the days until Love Island 2020? Oh what the hell I’m doing both! For me Love Island was my guilty pleasure. I personally have no television in my bedroom, a conscious decision I made when I redecorated. I mean televisions are ugly right…? Certainly not in keeping with my beautiful Provencale Carved Bed. But for 8 weeks solid I have resorted to jumping into bed, surrounding myself with masses of cushions, wedging my tablet into the perfect position and Voila! A tech free zone no more! But as I mourn the loss of my Love Island fix, my bedroom will once again return to a sanctuary, a space to shut off from the world and relax in. On the plus side I can use all that spare time to find the perfect chandelier to hang gracefully above ones bed! Oh my husband will be pleased!
What do you love most about your bedroom, and what do you wish you could add or change? Do you have a television or any tricks to conceal one? Or do you agree that a bedroom should be free from all things digital. I’ll go for the latter…until next year of course!
