The bed is a queen size box spring and mattress, without frame or headboard. The sheets are 250 thread count white cotton, obtained in the Brasillian equivalent of Wal Mart almost three years ago. Four pillows, in two black and two white pillowcases.

The duvet cover is custom-made Chinese silk, in a grey pink the colour of champagne, which match the curtain panels, accented in bamboo-leaf green.

Two IKEA bedside tables in birch;
Hers; four small jewelry boxes, a rubber figure with the base of a serpent and the torso and head of a woman wearing only a red tube-top. A red glass votive holder, an easy-open bottle of Tylenol, a pewter votive lantern, a roll of toilet paper, a 15 ml bottle of eucalyptus oil, a bottle of suede blue nail polish. A silver Swatch wristwatch, small nail clippers. Anais Nin's diaries, "The Pregnancy Journal", CS Jones' "31 Hymns to the Star Goddess". A Paul Frank "Julius the Monkey" night light.

His; mates to both the pewter lantern and red votive holder, a small black stone, a rosewood Buddha, a small ceramic day-of-the-dead mariachi, a bottle of Advil. A black office telephone, a BMW Mini brochure, an IKEA catalog, William Gibson's "Pattern Recognition". A steel two-zone analog alarm clock, with black and white photographs of two small boys. A red enamel Swiss Army watch.

A metre-high three-drawer cabinet in matching birch with aluminum pulls, a box of Kleenex, Henry Miller's "Quiet Days in Clichy" and "Eric Kroll's Fetish Girls" erotic photography.

A pale green and powder-steel IKEA folding chair, the bed cushions (in green and bone chinese silk, two square and one bolster). Black pants from a ninjitsu gi.

A SITCOM powder-steel office coat rack bearing a black slip, a black collarless cotton shirt, and a rumpled white linen pajama shirt.

East wall: White. Two sliding windows with white venetian blinds, a silver curtain rod with small microphone finials. Two drawer pulls the shape of oak leaves on the windowsill. A tiny figurine of a skeleton in a business suit, with a broken arm.

South wall: A rich clay green. Two wall-mounted silver halogen bedside lamps, an antique tin door lintel above the bed, two bouquets of dried red roses, a small print of a pale, half nude woman. A silver ankh pendant, and a smaller seven-pointed star, also in silver.
