Romantic Rooms
February 2008, pp. 58-59

     What is romantic? The dictionary definition includes references to movements in music, literature and architecture that appeal less to the intellect and more to emotions. Romantic also has connotations of idealism, naiveté, unrestrained creativity, individual expression and inspiration from nature. Of course, we more often use the word to mean expressive of or inspiring love or romance.

     Using soft pink and blue hues, touchable textures and French antiques. Gerrie Bremermann of Bremermann Designs created a romantic Parisian boudoir for Jennifer Heebe in her Old Metairie home. Everything about this room is soft and inviting. A draped corona frames the bed for a suggestion of intimacy.
