Last post we talked about how to create atmosphere in the bedroom.  In this final post on the series, we will continue this with some great ideas I found on the Internet.  Are you ready to create romance?

• Paint or wallpaper your walls an exciting color – walls do not have to be eggshell white.
• Find some provocative fun paintings for your room.  According to The Secret movie, if you want a mate, surround yourself with art of two people together – best if they are kissing or facing each other.
• Get rid of the old, dusty blinds and replace them with lacy panels
• Add candles, softer lights, bedside lamps, for that dimmed light look.
• If your mattress is old and sunk in – invest in a new one – your back will hurt a lot less.  And king size it!
• Add flowers and plants such as ferns. 
• Add pillows that can be used for fun as well as decoration.

Trust me when I tell you that if you want to create romance, make sure the atmosphere is romantic.  The bedroom ought to be a sacred spot where you go to rekindle romance and to rest your head. 

Now, for that special night, here are some tips!

• Take a bath in oils so that you smell great and your skin is soft and slippery
• Avoid perfumes as they often cause sneezing or plugged sinuses – unless you happen to know your lover is into your perfume.
• Wear something that makes you feel sexy – feeling sexy is an important part of romance – and make sure it is easy for your lover to take off.  This may be a good time for the Passionate Purple Panties!
•  Make it fun – have flower petals spread up to the bedroom and into the bed.
• Have some fun finger food and drink (personally I would avoid alcohol as it often causes sleepiness).
• Play some soft music
• Have fun! 

Now, you may be thinking – “Why do I need to do all of this?  Isn’t this more like what they do in the movies – real people don’t do this.”  Well, my suggestion is to try it.  There is nothing to say that your life can’t be like the movies.  See if adding atmosphere does not add to your romance.  It sure can’t hurt!

This is the last in the series.  Please let me know if you enjoyed it, learned from it, want more.
