I can has new mattress
Just got finished making the bed -- which now has a brand new mattress, a slightly late birthday present from my dad. I also decided to get a new comforter: a nice cream-colored one with a print of large blue flowers. However, it's one of these big thick mattresses that are the style these days, so before we could haul out the old mattress (an old-style thinner one) and haul in the new one, we had to get a new mattress cover and new pad for it, which meant a quick trip to K-Mart last night.
And I also discovered that my sheets wouldn't fit, so I had to run out to HomeGoods this morning to buy new sheets. I found a lovely set of Ralph Lauren sheets with a purple and cream stripe print and it looks great.
I know I don't usually talk about this sort of thing, but it's rather a big deal: my bed is sort of my nest, I'm not much of a sleeper (never have been), but I like to curl up in bed with a book or write there.
And it's a seemingly simple project that turned out to have more steps in it than expected, between one thing and another. But it's finished now and I'm delighted with the results.
