I found a bedroom set to replace the one with the burnt spread at a great price- $47.00 for the comlete bedding set including bedskirt, quilted spread, pillow shams and small decorative pillows, a set of 400 threads per inch Egyptian cotton matching sheets w/ four pillow cases- and two sets of drapes! The only problem is it does not pick up the wine/ burgundy in the walls, but the browns are warm enough to make do. (The set my temporary roommate ruined matched exactly.) This set is a lovely satiny jacquard. There is a bit of green on the walls but it does not show well with the flash picture. We have a QVC Outlet store in town and I got this 70% off the original sales price. I could have paid $70 more for a set that picked up the burgundy color too, but $119 right before Christmas is more than I am willing to pay.

I put red circles on the place on the wall where it looks like something exploded and on the residue of stains in the carpet that nothing will take out. I guess I circled it because unless I direct the eye right to it, these stains are barely noticable. My antiques took a beating too. Oh well. At least that room got a really good cleaning and it looks presentable again.

I went shopping with a friend today so I got little done. I have so much stuff to mail! I still have no Christmas decorations up, but that will happen soon... maybe tomorrow.
