I love the paneled out wall with the swing arm sconces – more room to stack books on the nightstand!

Oh Dave. I don’t miss those toilet rugs. But I do miss Dixie cups.

Hi, Tate, wow! The advantages of following your heart show clearly in this photo. Pure cotton flannel sheets are not too hot or itchy. People who say so must have mistakenly bought polyester-cotton blend sheets. Try cotton sateen pillowcases if the flannel ones get too warm, as they might every once in a while.

I have long since thrown off my “not me” attitude and my wardrobe, decor and personal relationships have benefited.

Have a great weekend! Sleep well!

that’s one of the things we struggle with at our place, we can never get our bedding to look like that….that looks fabulous.

Is this your place, Tate? The blue and cream together is beautiful. Please come over and make my bed anytime.

I adore flannel. Mayhaps I should by some for this winter . . .

Your point about following your heart is right on. I found this brown and teal damask large ottoman that I loved, despite the fact that neither of those colors existed in my living room previously. I bought it because I couldn’t walk away; now it’s my favorite piece of furniture, and it harmonizes well with the room.

Those sheets bring out the red in your lampshades.

Your new sheets look fantastic – the pattern really accents the room. I love flannel sheets, except when I’m trying to turn over!

Oh, and the thing that I long for but can’t have? One of those rubber backed woven acrylic rugs that go on the floor around the front of the toilet. That would be luxury in the winter!
