<p>Housed in a vintage renovated building the shelter provides a safe place for women and children fleeing domestic abuse and gives them a space so they can start to rebuild their lives. The one requirement was to include a daybed that could be used as a sofa and sleeping space.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was inspired by these beautiful, serene bedroom images to share with you my views on the importance of creating a peaceful space in your home.   </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-274" src="http://www.authentichomeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/earth3-238x300.jpg" alt="" width="238" height="300" /></p>
<p>I so often find that the master bedroom is the last room in the home to be transformed.  The family room or kitchen is often the focus of attention.  Yet in order to give energy back to yourself or to your family, you need a place of restful retreat.  A bedroom should not be cluttered with &#8220;stuff&#8221; or have energy zappers such as tv&#8217;s/dvd&#8217;s or anything else high tech in them.  Your sanctuary needs to be a space for you to renew and refresh your energy.   </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-275" src="http://www.authentichomeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/gray2-300x258.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="258" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-276" src="http://www.authentichomeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/phoebe-pink-bedroom-300x241.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="241" /></p>
<p>This is the time of year we all are hibernating in our homes.  Perhaps a new paint color with a new set of draperies or a new duvet cover will create that sanctuary for you.  Why not transform your bedroom this month and experience your own transformation.</p>
