IF A GENTLEMAN HAS HIS STUDY, A LADY HAS HER BOUDOIR. DERIVED FROM THE FRENCH verb bouder to sulk or to pout the original meaning of boudoir was a seperate room adjacent to a woman's bedroom to which she could withdraw for some serious sulking. As delectable as that sounds these days we tend to think of a boudoir simply as a female bedroom or dressing room furnished in a traditional style. Nevertheless we all need a little space for ourselves ( for pouting or otherwise) and such a personal place should be enjoyed to the fullest to put you in the boudoir mood, add luxurious touches such as sensuous fabrics and decorative accessories. Lounging around in sweatpants will never feel the same again
