I stand just outside, hand on the door knob. "Welcome to my room. Anyone is free to peek in the window, but I must ask that none enter without an invitation. This is my Sanctuary, found at The China Pearl Inn." With that, I turn the knob and open the door...
The warm glow from the numerous oil lamps reveals a room full of bookshelves. Their rich cherry surfaces polished to a high shine, reflecting the light back into the room. The one wall not taken by bookshelves is adorned with a large picture window framing a king-size four poster bed, also made of cherry. The large comforter covering the bed is of hunter green and gold stripes. Navy blue and burgundy accent pillows prop against the matching green and gold pillow shams. The tapestried burgundy and gold neck roll taking the place in the center.
The spaces between the bookshelves are painted a dark hunter green and sport prints of various lighthouses. The deep wine colored sheer drapes at the window are held back by small brass lighthouses. The various fixtures in the room, such as the oil lamps, wall switches, and door knobs are all of polished brass.
One corner is taken up by two large overstuffed chairs, both in a plaid print of deep wine, hunter green, and navy blue, with thin lines of gold. Between the chairs sits a small cherry table; a shared ottoman of a rich burgundy leather within reach of both. A navy blue lap blanket is tossed carelessly over the back of one of the chairs, a book lying open on the cushion. The age darkened wood floor is covered with a floral print Persian rug that reflects the same colors as used in the rest of the room.

Thanks for the Room, CG!
