The Bedroom and Boudoir

"The Bedroom and Boudoir" by Lady Barker

Mary Anne Barker, Lady Barker, was an English author. She wrote mainly about life in New Zealand. In this book, however, she turns her talents with words toward the topic of decorating, particularly decorating one's bedroom. The walls, the carpets, the bedding, wardrobes, fire, finishing touches, and even the bathroom, sick room, and spare room are all discussed to help readers put together a room fit for modern society.
