Two years ago i finally managed to convince my mom to change my bed mattress (what do you call it?). i want to change my bed too, but she said, narra yan, ano ka ba? betis yan no?! ( that's narra, are you crazy? ). so i decided to just make it more comfortable & beautiful. i started shopping for new linens. and pillows. and throws. until i couldn't see my bed anymore. bwahahaha!!
at first shop, i decided on color, anything pink & green was fine by me. don't care about the design as long as it has that color. on the second shopping, somehow i didn't want the multi colored designs & prints. i was drawn to the solids with just a few accent color. but i was still drawn to happy colors. yellow. green. understandable. girlie-girl. girlaloo.pinkaloosh...
of course, i discovered the meaning of thread counts, combed sateen sheets. i didn't care about that before. i just wanted clean sheets every week. after learning thread counts, i became a linen snob. of course, money & budget permitting i wanted the best (linens direct & some other expensive brand). the one i wanted was too expensive, i would hear the end of it from my mom.
last year DOP, co designed sheets with Linens Direct. I bought 1 design first, just to try it out. aaackkk! i liked it. went back to get one for my mom. the next week got another one again. and then christmas season started and sale season is upon us. of course i bought again, even from the LD line itself. then i hear the end of the world from my mom when the bill came.
i couldn't tell her, don't you love your new bedsheets?!?! somehow, the sheets look good on her bed than mine. maybe because mine's small?? her bed size is queen, mine's full. all the linens i bought are queen size except for one sale purchase.
i wanna buy a new one again, but i'm waiting for the blue/brown combination, which i think is still stuck in customs or something. i'm holding off and waiting for newer designs.
now, quilts & throws are another post. LOL
