... dreaming of a new look ...
Saturday, May 17, 2008
I have had the same bedding set now for seven years and I'll have it seven more if it will last. I have to admit that I paid A LOT for it initially, but it was a quality set and still looks brand new! My investment has paid off. But that doesn't mean that I don't like to look now and again and dream of a new look for the room. Here is a site that has some beautiful bedding sets for sale. Now, they are a bit pricey, but I speak from experience that the expensive sets are usually VERY well-made and worth the investment. My husband still doesn't know how much I paid for our bedding ... he doesn't want to know either - LOL! I just remind him that if I average it out over the years, it's not so bad. Plus I haven't had to change the look and he does like that as he doesn't like change very much!


Blessings on your day ... Kris

Saturday, May 17, 2008 - Bedding

Posted by InHisHands

We also have a lovely bedding set as well. It's been on the bed for several years and looks as good as new. I have lots of pillows and cushions on the bed. A friend was looking at it one day (and I saw she got some ideas from my bedding set as she had a nice matching set when I was at their house next time) and she asked where all the pillows go at night when we go to bed. I pointed to a space on the floor near the wall and said "there"!!

To change the look a bit on my bedding, I make some new covers for the throw pillows I put on my bed. I have also made a few small sacets, that also have rice to heat and use as a heat pack, they are cute little accents for my bed, and nice litte heatting pads for my feet in the winter, or my back on bad days.

I had dreamed of a new look for several years for our bedroom. I finally found it and blogged about it around Christmas I think. There's a picture of the bedding there. It will last a lifetime. I love it. Now I need to get up the nerve to paint the walls in there.
