just a little, this isn’t a rocket science blog.

So, here it is.  (Shout-out to my mother-in-law for sharing this with me.)

Whatever your bedspread or color scheme for your bedroom, you probably have ‘good pillow cases’ that match your bedspread.  We have a navy blue comforter with matching sheets, with our bedroom accents in navy blue too, you get the picture.  But I have a bunch of different sheet sets in various blue shades that I’ve picked up at sales, or because they’ve advertised to be VERY soft, etc.

SO, I always have four pillow cases (and pillows, obviously) on our bed in various shades of blue, blue sheets of various shades and the navy blue comforter (it’s a duvet cover, you take out the comforter part in the summer).

SO HERE’S THE TIP: I bought 2 extra pillows (at Target) and put my ‘nice-company-coming-over’ navy blue pillow cases on them and put them in my bedroom closet.  NOW, when company is coming over: I take them out, put them in front of whatever pillows are already on the bed and- Bingo!

The bed looks all-pulled-together.  My pillows match my comforter and have ‘accent’ blue pillows under them.  But I always have the ‘good pillows with pillowcases’ clean and ready to throw on the bed!

Again, this isn’t rocket science, but you’d be surprised at the amount of time is saves you and how much better your bedroom looks in moments!

Try this during the holiday season… and thank me later.
