So, let's start with Sunday's project that bled into today. We used to have a down comforter with a duvet cover. I've had it for years, before I even met Robert (which was 5 years ago), so way past time to be replaced. Plus, Robert hated it because it was too warm. I told him I would hunt down a quilt . . and then in the winter I'd put a blanket into the mix and maybe even a down comforter folded at the bottom. I shopped online Saturday night, and sadly realized I had champagne taste on a beer budget . . .there was NO way I was paying $500 for a quilt (or even over $100) when Chili, our Rottweiler, loves to jump up in the bed. I went out shopping on Sunday thinking that I wouldn't have much luck, but the VERY first stop I made (Kohls) I found the PERFECT quilt! It was $80, then with the 15% off I got it for $68. That's my kinda deal. They didn't have the shams, but didn't really want them anyway. Then I was off to Sears, where they had pillows buy one get one free . . . so I got two king size pillows for $25, and 2 standard pillows for $20. They are supposed to keep you cooler. Then I got a set of tan sheets, and a pair of brown pillow cases (don't remember the prices on those, don't think they were on sale?) Then, today I went hunting for some cute pillows at Target. The white one was $20, and the blue one was $25.
The blue one is way cuter than this picture makes it look. The white stitching is really handmade looking. So, here's the finished project. I already had the throw, and all the other accessories.
