| A WORLD OF WONDERS Submitted by: Nicole Maki
One day I decorated different rooms of our house as places for us to
visit and we spent the evening ‘travelling’. Some ideas:
Be sure to include all the senses: play music, and use different
scents and sounds to create atmosphere. For example, I had incense in
the middle eastern room, Frank Sinatra playing in the big city room,
quiet classical music in the roman baths. Also, I used lights,
candles, sheets, sari's and anything else I could borrow to make each
room feel authentic. By moving a table into the living room and
clearing the dining room out for a 'dance floor' in our big city
restaurant we really felt transported to another place. Be sure to
remember some favorite comfy clothes for him to slip into after the
bath. I ordered the evening Roman Baths, Middle East, back to the bath
to rinse off the oil (don't forget fluffy towels) and then big city.
Also, a neat touch was hanging a sign on each door with the name of
the next place before I slipped out to change. It made him really
anticipate the next adventure.
Hope you like this idea. My husband sure did.
