The ottoman at the end of the bed was a quite common feature and acted as a place to rest during the day. The draped lightshades were popular at this time. The clock on the chest of drawers, can be seen through the door of the bedroom, in the adjoining dressing room." (Information from caption used in "Darling, I'm home!" display).
