vintage postcards
Yep. These women are sleeping in a closet. It is COLD in Brittany. The thick doors protected sleepy heads from from the whipping winds of the Atlantic coast.
The chestnut beds called 'Lit Clos' were often intricately carved with a ship wheel motif. The Breton’s livelihood was very tied to fishing and shipping:)
I think that I would like to sleep deep inside a box.
Far away from light and the ticking of the clocks.
For some added privacy, I'd install some locks.
When it's time for breakfast, the chef just simply knocks!
