Anna says, “I love things – I love collecting stuff as you go. Tom has just got back from India and he brought back this lovely bedspread and this amazing singing bowl.” If you have never heard or seen a singing bowl in action before, as I hadn’t, you should - it gave me mystical goose bumps.<br />I really liked being in Anna and Tom’s bedroom. It felt very serene and everything is well placed. Whilst I was taking the pictures, I liked the fact that Omar kept darting in and out, and Anna and Tom just hung out in there, chatting about their plans for the day – it all felt very homely.<br />When I asked Anna and Tom what they’d save if their bedroom were on fire, Anna said, “Tom, Omar, my toy monkey and Skeli, sitting over there on the red lamp – he’s a family heirloom, and been around for as long as I can remember – my Mum even had to sew his arm back on at one point.”<br />Tom said, “Nothing – I’m not attached to anything in here, really. Oh, well maybe I'd save my singing bowl.”<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TjbSmOFCDl0/TcQAQRTvx7I/AAAAAAAAA9U/q2T7z4unmfY/s1600/IMG_4083.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TjbSmOFCDl0/TcQAQRTvx7I/AAAAAAAAA9U/q2T7z4unmfY/s1600/IMG_4083.jpg" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>See more of Anna and Tom - click on </b><a href="http://whatsinyourbedroom.blogspot.com/p/bed-heads.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><i><b>Bed Heads</b></i></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><b> </b></span><b>and scroll down</b></div>

He is a self-confessed hoarder and says, “I’ve pared down a lot of my stuff over the past year. I find it hard to get rid of things. I don’t like bare spaces, they’re not comfortable for me.” His place is always busy with his kids, dog and his friends, hanging out and working in his studio next door, reviving some great pieces of old furniture, to sell in his shop <a href="http://www.fandangointeriors.co.uk/Site/Home.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><i>Fandango</i></span></a>. In fact he was actually kind enough to loan me a set of drawers for the What’s In Your bedroom… <a href="http://whatsinyourbedroom.blogspot.com/2010/11/oxfam-dalston-east-london.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><i>Oxfam window</i></span></a>, back in November 2010.<br /><div class="MsoNormal">I think his bedroom is secondary in his home; it’s more of a bed tucked away in his living space. So when I asked him what he would save if his bedroom were on fire, he said, “Well it's hard, because I’d want to save so much. But presuming the kids and the dog were okay, I’d save the Lego for them. Our guitars that are hung on the wall over there: my daughter, Ruby’s guitar is the one with the smiley face on it; my son, Bert’s the blue one and mine’s the one in the middle. It sounds strange but I’d also take my little Baby Belling cooker, I’ve had it over twenty years and I’ve roast many a chicken in that thing.”</div>
