For many of the same reasons our bedroom is less than super glamourous spot. But function before fashion I always say. I'll be keeping your sweet kitty in prayer. I can tell she is a gem.

When my son...HI Debra, oh the sleigh bed is divine. When my son was a young boy I had a beautiful sleigh bed in his room all designed around a Englishmans quarters, of course the 80's and 90's were all about the English and Victorian cottage style. How I miss that bed and your room flooded my memories with creating such a room that equally looked dapper tossed in Leggos, building logs, ninja turtles, and hot wheel tracks and such. Men they never get a great room do they, but in all that chaos amoungest the mess deep inside the mess a room of beauty popped through and that was good enough for me!<br /><br />This room is a beautiful room, and surprises me that it's taken you this long to share. I could see you adding someday a painted piece in the mix of all the beauty here, something with history of the era you have created here. And as for pillows, I must have taken on a more manly approach these days, I am beginning to dislike a bed filled with pillows, I like your hubby want it more relaxed and less fuss. I could see you changing out the bedding with your favorite quilts now and then, adding your seasonal stamp you give to your home.<br /><br />I hope with breaking the ice now In your master room share that any new touches, or changes you will share with us all.<br />It's a room that even with a messed up bed, and a husband happily laying in a relaxed state it is surely a room to love.<br /><br />Xx<br />Dore Burlap Luxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16134718817693134037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-46059039905265436102017-02-05T00:06:59.350-06:002017-02-05T00:06:59.350-06:00Deb, I wouldn't change a thing - and that'...Deb, I wouldn't change a thing - and that's including your gorgeous lamp shades.

It really is pretty and you've decorated it beautifully!<br /><br />I *adore* your new comforter - gosh it looks awesome there - brings all the colors together and makes that lovely space anything but boring!

I'd like to upgrade to a king size bed and I'm thinking I'd like a wood bed for a change of pace. Love your pretty sleigh bed! I've never shown our master bedroom in its entirety yet and maybe never will. :o) Your master has a very calm cohesive look, Debra.

My husband isn't a pillow person either, and when he makes the bed, he leaves the pillows on the bench at the foot of the bed. He'd just as soon not make it at all, but I have to have the order of a bed made up after a night's sleep. Ours is simple as well, a white comforter cover that is easily and frequently washed because Sadie is on the bed every night. I toss three euro pillows and two regular pillows across the bed when I make it. It's actually rather subdued and simple, but extra pillows are just that, EXTRA, in my husband's mind.

He tolerates a stack of pillows, but they are all (but 2 small ones) bed pillows for adjusting comfort, lol (one under the legs, one for propping the back, neck, etc....our duvet cover is simply that - a duvet cover minus the duvet - and white! Like yours, mine doesn't like weight. We bought a really nice, dual control, king electric blanket that does the trick for us in winter, and it's not heavy. In fact, we use it year-round, and we each set our own level of comfort. In summer, we turn it off but leave the blanket on the bed (under the duvet cover), and switch to ceiling fan.<br />As always, you're keepin' it real, Debra. I like that.Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-18933065620713520932017-02-02T22:36:27.631-06:002017-02-02T22:36:27.631-06:00yes, I know about being glad for a messy husband. ...yes, I know about being glad for a messy husband. He hasn't been the same since his problem with Meniere's. He requires a lot more rest. (me too) That's what turning 60 does for you! I'm glad it's just one cat on the bed and not two. They have turf wars so it would be a nightmare. We have to use a lint roller every night just to keep the fur at bay, otherwise it's in my eyes and mouth. xoDebra@CommonGroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830455848744270459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-43064008436980420082017-02-02T22:15:32.854-06:002017-02-02T22:15:32.854-06:00Debra...I don't think you are alone with the c...Debra...I don't think you are alone with the crowded nightstands, a husband who spends a tremendous amount of time in the bedroom, an unmade bed, pets, etc. I have the same problems. I make the bed everyday, I think it makes the room neater and more inviting. Darn...when hubby comes home he pulls the blankets apart and my work is for nothing. We, too, use our nightstands, that's what they are there for! And I have two dogs who nudge us all over the place.<br /><br />On a good note, I love your classic furniture, that sleigh bed is to die for. Your comforter and pillows as well. A little tip. I love layers like you. I make the bed with the top sheet and maybe a light blanket depending on the weather/air conditioning. I fold the comforter to the bottom of the bed in a way that the pattern shows. It's a win win. <br /><br />Sometimes we have to learn to live around various annoyances. I'd much rather have a messy room than an organized room and no husband. Ooh, that sounds a bit morbid. You know what I mean!<br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.com
