The bed symbolizes dusk, dawn and life. Dusk is a butterfly at the headboard with a landscape of night. Dawn is a butterfly at the foot of the bed, illustrating the renewal of the day. The crystal part of Dawn is said to represent life as a “cosmogenic egg”.

Ok, Lillian, I’m sorry but I have to stop reading your challenge. I can’t stand it anymore. I mean, look at that lamp! (faints)
Well, but maybe just another post. What are you covering in your next post? 😉
