There seems to be lots of chatter about day beds lately. I did a little research and found that during Victorian times, women sporting tight corsets would retire to the ‘fainting room” for a little rest. Can you imagine trying to wear a corset all day? I feel faint just thinking about it and at the same time positively dizzy over the thought of having a little room to go to, perhaps for a little air, or a room to read in or paint. Do you have a fainting room or a day bed?
