after using the same bedroom set my parents bought me for the my 13th birthday for YEARS...we finally decided it was time to invest in new furniture. It was a hard choice and we looked at tonnes and tonnes of sets. We finally decided on a traditional set that will last us forever and will never go out of style-and even if it does OH WELL!!I also decided that I was going to get proper bedding to go along with our new "adult" set...i loved it in the store but am not so sure I love it anymore...it is kind of shiny and hot, plus i'm finding that little things snag on it UGH!!
Lurker here - love the furniture.
ReplyDeleteTo combat the shininess of the bedding (I agree, it is a bit bright) try this:
1) Fold the comforter down in thirds so it only covers the bottom third of the bed, but still hangs down over both sides.
2) Buy a plain white or cream or dark brown (the colour of the wood) coverlet and use that as a blanket under the comforter, covering the whole bed. It is not so hot (they are usually 100% cotton), but you can pull the comforter up when it is really cold if you need it.
3)Add a small throw pillow the same colour as the coverlet to tie it all together.
ooh, i love the set...and eileen's advice!
ReplyDelete"Shiny and hot" for some reason that made me giggle, but I'm so mature that way LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love the bedroom set, though!
karen- i even edited it from something else..that would hve made you giggle even more!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Eileen's advice too and will try it soon...only i imagine that it would work once and then lack of time in the morning would leave me feeling frustrated that i couldn't find a simpler solution!
Jill- if you're looking for new sets- Arrow is really awesome!!
Love, love, LOVE the new bed!! It's gorrrrrgeous!! I agree with Eileen's advice too!
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Karen! Oh, you feisty little vixen! Too funny!
