Almost each and every one of you love your bedrooms. It’s the only place that allows one to be their true self. It’s a place to stay away from the chaos happening in the outside world. At times your room can be messy but still, it’s the best place that you’d find in the whole world. And in one way bedrooms show the real personalities of people.

Maybe that is why you find it interesting to have a glimpse of someone else’s room. So being interested in this topic photographer Barbara had created this project “American Bedrooms”.

This amazing idea of photographing average Americans in their bedrooms had sparked in her mind in 2016. After seeing how her bedroom looks, she had figured out that every room tells a personal story. Afterward, she had begun to think about capturing the bedrooms of people from all around the USA.

american bedrooms
Camille: “People have this idea that dreams are for the young, but my biggest dreams have only begun to come true now, in my third decade. It’s as though I finally gave myself permission to chase everything unabashedly, from what I believe family looks like to the sounds I want to share with the world. The world is opening up to me more every day.”
Ashley: “If you told me 5 years ago that I would be a touring musician, married to my amazing and beautiful wife, and living happily in Portland, I would have cried tears of happiness. Never give up the fight for your version of happiness in this life. You won’t know the treasures that lie ahead until you’re there living them. With our powers combined, we can do anything.”/image credits: barbara.peacock_abedroom
