NEW BOOKS : Laura Ashley Bedrooms SUSAN IRVINE Harmony Books, 1988

THESE ARE NOT really bedrooms: They are personal retreats and set designs, some dramatic and others just cozily perfect, fantasies of chintz and rosebuds and lace. (Who would dare snore or sweat in such rooms? Or leave dirty socks under the bed?) A wish book full of gorgeous photos, this is also a practical guide through assorted styles from rustic to romantic--all, of course, wrapped and cosseted in Laura Ashley’s paean to another time, those beautifully quaint English fabrics; $20.
