The girls' bedroom in the summer home of Princess Tatiana and Prince Moritz von Hessen in Keitum on the island of Sylt, Germany, in the North Sea. Mafalda, their older daughter, sits in one of the wall-cubby beds playing with a doll, while the younger daugher Elena reads a book as she lays on the floor. The walls are painted a burnt orange while the sloping interior of the bed cubbies is lined in orange and white striped floral wallpaper; the linens are daisy patchwork quilts made by Princess Tatiana von Hessen.
