"  Barbara King: You look so pure and innocent in your white nightie. Kathryn M. Ireland: What!? I do? I just thought it was a nice little number for company. I sleep in vintage silk nighties. I was wearing a slinky red one earlier. Very film noir \u2014 femme fatale of you. Wasn&amp;#039;t your bedroom red at one time?  It was. For 20 years. I changed the fabrics in the room about three months ago. Most of them are from my latest collection, Summers in France. The colors are softer than usual for me.  Does that mean you&amp;#039;re getting softer? Um...could be. Maybe that&amp;#039;s what it all means, going soft in old age.  It&amp;#039;s a very feminine room. It is a bit girly \u2014 no tomboy in this room. And I&amp;#039;m really not a girly-girl. Would you say it&amp;#039;s romantic? I hate the word romantic! Romantic to me is so dour. It&amp;#039;s almost the kiss of death. Too Catherine and Heathcliff on the moors? Forgive me. How about &amp;#039;sexy&amp;#039;?  Not particularly. It&amp;#039;s my personal domain. It&amp;#039;s the one place that&amp;#039;s sacred to me. I can shut my door and close everyone out. I must admit that I love not sharing a bedroom \u2014 it&amp;#039;s the secret of all successful marriages. It strikes me as a room you&amp;#039;d want to share.  I do, but not with one person \u2014 everyone. All my kids&amp;#039; friends love to pile up on the bed and watch movies. And all my friends love to come up and loaf about on the sofa and chair and ottoman. I like lying on my bed playing queen, with all my followers sitting at my feet \u2014 or whatever you call the people you rule.  You&amp;#039;ve got just the bed to reign from.  Yes, it&amp;#039;s quite imposing and rather regal.  What&amp;#039;s the best thing about having such a grand canopy? It&amp;#039;s like sleeping in an enclosed environment. My haven within my haven. On a more mundane level, it brings the 15-foot cathedral ceiling down. And the best thing about the room? It just feels good to me every time I walk in. Lindsay Lohan liked the room so much, she asked me to do hers just like it.  Isn&amp;#039;t that kind of creepy, the idea of cloning your own bedroom?  I didn&amp;#039;t do an exact copy. Mostly I used the same fabrics in the same way. On Million Dollar Decorators you declare \u2014 memorably, to say the least \u2014 that you don&amp;#039;t get out of bed for less than a million dollars. My goodness! Ah, but darling, I get in for a lot less.
