No way would I ever routinely make up a bed with that many decorative pillows on it. And if you don't have a specific place to put them when they're not on the bed --- eg when you're in it --- then they'll end up on the floor and covered in pet hair and/or carpet fuzz.
But, then, not everyone is as...ahem, "casual" about making their beds as I am. ;->
It's a lovely look, though! 12139. Snowowl - 11/19/2004 1:06:43 AM you realise, Snow, that the server's in Nelson?
No, I didn't. Strange though - I still can't get into lots of sites, some NZ ones included.
Thanks for the congrats all. Wait until you're grandparents - it's the best fun ever!
Ms No, my husband's always said that we're the only family he knows where dishes are done before the meal rather than after, and beds are made before sleeping rather than on arising. 12140. Jenerator - 11/19/2004 1:14:40 AM I lucked out and found a pair of 700 thread count sheets (king size) at Tuesday Morning for only $60!!!! They were marked down from $550 - Donna Karan.
Magoseph,
Go for it - the bedding is lovely. Do you have a padded headboard as well? 12141. Absensia - 11/19/2004 1:55:48 AM Of course I like all of you. I've just been away.
Thread count is important. The higher the thread count the softer the sheets is true. Jen that is a steal. I try to get at least 400 thread count. That is a beautiful set, Mags. I'm with Ms. No, though. I use few if any decorative pillows, though the cats like them. But if you like it, go for it. 12142. Ms. No - 11/19/2004 2:16:14 AM I'm all about flannel or cotton jersey bed linens. 12143. Magoseph - 11/19/2004 2:34:12 AM I'm all about flannel or cotton jersey bed linens.
So am I, Ms. No, so you see that I have a problem here. I intend to go to Chicago and see the merchandise first-hand this Saturday. The bed set-up is silk and linen, so I have to see.
No, Jen, no padded headboard. This is the bed, not quite, but close to it--much older looking, of course.. The chest, the highboy, and the coiffeuse are lovely and graceful, walnut and mahogany, and brass handles made by a cabinetmaker 110 years as a wedding gift to a relative of my husband's family. There is a full-length mirror on a brass and walnut wood pedestal. The whole furniture is quite arresting. I am just just trying to adapt it to myself, so to speak-- put my indelible imprint to it, so it is mine, because it is now, you know.
12144. Magoseph - 11/19/2004 2:54:28 AM Abs, I won't use any decorative pillows--I couldn't bother having to put them on and take them off. Besides, I like a trim look about things around me.
Lately, I have given my sons prized possessions that for years were so precious to me. Now, I just want for once a luxurious bedroom and bathroom--and frankly, this is only because my mother sent me such beautiful robes, nightgowns, plush bath towels, still never used and in pristine condition. I feel somehow now that she is gone, I should make the effort to be more like she was.
12145. Absensia - 11/19/2004 3:11:03 AM That sounds wonderful, Mags. It's nice to feel a bit "luxe." 12146. judithathome - 11/19/2004 3:29:21 AM I finally converted Keoni to the "thread count" bandwagon with 500 thread count sheets.
Jen, your 700s sound great...I'd forgotten all about Tuesday Morning! And I am lucky because we have only a full sized bed, which sheets are usually cheaper than king size. I may check out Overstock.com, too.
I love new sheets! 12147. angel-five - 11/19/2004 4:07:21 AM I don't like jersey sheets. They feel nice and soft, but they also bunch up and stretch, and pill and so on.
Flannel sheets OTOH are wonderful, but can be a bit warm in the summertime. 12148. sakonige - 11/19/2004 6:02:17 AM I don't like flannel sheets. They cling to my nightgown and make it twist around me when I flip over. And I don't like over 300 thread count because they are too flimsy. I like pure white cotton 280, washed with a little bit of bleach and double rinsed. 12149. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 11/19/2004 6:07:40 AM Egyptian cotton! 12150. rdbrewer - 11/19/2004 6:12:19 AM Well, Wiz and I agree on something. 12151. Absensia - 11/19/2004 8:42:13 AM Egyptian cotto is the best. I find a high thread count holds up very well. I don't like flannel though. They turn "fuzzy" and get in my eyes. 12152. Macnas - 11/19/2004 10:57:32 AM So....blankets and such.....ahmm....well I'm not a'gin 'em I suppose.... 12153. Magoseph - 11/19/2004 12:19:19 PM Hi, Mac. Will you be hunting again this weekend? 12154. Macnas - 11/19/2004 1:02:54 PM Hello Mago.
I hope to, there has been a fall of woodcock, as they say, and I might get one or two for the pot if I can. 12155. Magoseph - 11/19/2004 3:17:36 PM Flexy just told me that this state is a breeding ground for the woodcocks, Mac, but he tells me too that they are not indigene to the area--I don't know why not, if they breed here. I must find out about these birds as soon as I determine what thread count I need for my bedsheets--first things first, as they say around here.
Have a nice weekend, Mac.
12156. Magoseph - 11/19/2004 3:21:57 PM Thank you to those who helped me with my bedroom's beautifying project.
