| Monterey County authors' guide offers tips for renewing bedroom décor and passion Posted: 12 Feb 2011 05:13 AM PST "Passion by Design: Re-Decorate Your Bedroom and Re-Invent Your Love Life," by Paula McChesney & Sandy Peckinpah (Life Design Publishing; $19.99). > Local connection: Past president of the American Society of Interior Designers, Paula McChesney is a frequent speaker on the subjects of romance, passion, color and design. She is the owner and principal designer of McChesney Design Studio in Carmel Valley. Sandy Peckinpah is an author and inspirational speaker. She has also appeared on television and worked with her late husband, David Peckinpah, who was the executive producer and writer of several TV series, including "Beauty and the Beast" and "Silk Stalkings." > Content: Far from your typical room makeover, redecorating book, this guide suggests ways of creating an atmosphere in your bedroom that will stir the senses and serve as a catalyst to rejuvenate a ho-hum love life. To achieve this end, the authors offer tips on how to create four bedroom fantasies, from a tropical island retreat to Hollywood glam, that will set the stage for plenty of amorous action. But that's just the half of it. Because the new bedroom decor is just the backdrop for a more satisfactory love life, the authors also focus on how to attract more intimacy, passionate lovemaking and fun within a stronger, more fulfilling relationship. Besides explaining how to "design and set the stage for love," the two women also delve into the key to having a better relationship with improved communication skills and how to "be an enticing enchantress." As you read this book, it becomes clear that new window treatments, mood lighting, special furniture and sexy bedding are only the beginning of the boudoir makeover. Short chapters, blank pages for jotting down "Your Passion Notes" and highlighted "Passion Tips" make this book easy to read. The conversational narrative flows smoothly and creates the feeling you are sitting across the table with the authors having a cup of coffee. > Author quote: "How did this book begin? Desire ... purely desire. We wanted to know what it took to sustain a loving, romantic, vibrantly exciting love life. We wanted to find the magical equation that would bring passionate direction in our lives!" > Audience: For those interested in a bedroom makeover that will also rekindle a little passion in their lives, this is a book worth consulting. The only real downside of this volume is that, unlike other books of this nature, there are no illustrations to show what the finished product should look like. > Robert Walch of Monterey writes about Central Coast Authors for the Arts & Books page Saturday in The Salinas Californian.
