Then he moved out, and it was time to reclaim (claim?) MY bedroom. MY bed. Where I get to sleep ALONE - YIPPPEEEEEEEEE. I bought a ginormous superpillowtop bed a few years ago and finally got my sleigh bed. It's mahogany and gorgeous. I love it. But the blue and white handmade wedding quilt my Aunt made with all the family names on it (including my long-since dead grandparents who signed the squares before they passed, God bless people who plan ahead), well duh it had to GO. Despite being blue and beautiful. But what to replace it with? I looked at lots of blue - blue flowers, blue nautical, blue blue blue. And then, on a whim in TJMAXX it jumped off the shelf and into my basket, and I knew it was perfect. The pinkest, cotton candy pink, fluffiest Nautica Comforter you have ever seen. Pink Pink Pink. The back is white with pink and blue ticking stripes. Perfect. And the sheet were there, too. I got the whole set - king sized mind you - for under $150. Crazy sale. Crazy comforter. Happy Me.
My teenage son saw it in the back of the car when I picked him up from school - "WHAT IS THAT?!" Followed by "Mom You really seem to have a Pink PROBLEM."
Yes, yes I do have a pink problem. And It's My Problem. My House. My Bed. And I love it. I added cute white and pink lamps from Target, some cute tiny pink candles in little champagne glasses in various shades of pink. Tossed some blue throw pillows on the bed to pick up the blue ticking. Perfect. The curtains were white, so it all works.
The Icing on the Cake [bed]? my daughter and I were shopping, killing time, and I found the perfect pink throw pillow with my initial on it. A beautiful "m" in script. Although daughter agrees with her twin brother that mom's gone a little pinko, she also agreed the pillow must be purchased. She doesn't know that secretly, the M stands for "MINE."
The frosting flowers on the icing on the cake? The day he came over to do something for the kids in their room, walked by MY room and did a double-take when he saw the PINK bed. He hasn't been upstairs since...
Such a silly thing to make me so happy, but it does....
(this is pre-"M" pillow)

ROTFL - And now I know that you have *ahem* New Breasts!!
hahahahahahaha
p.s. When did you get them? I'd have to say that I generally try not to stare at certain ummm areas of certain friends.
Um...you know that your cousin in law, K (of the DF clan) could very easily remove a name or so off that quilt...and perhaps overwrite it with Au and Sh's name on one block......she is very good at rehabbing heirlooms....
I'm just sayin!
It is your bedroom, make it you.
BTW, I guess the week I showed up last May was the week of your "additions". You must have added enough for a change but not enough to be ridiculous. I am a dumb guy cousin and I did not even notice, other than to know you were in a bit of pain.
My A has blue eyes and pink seems to bring out the sparkle in them nicely, so would do the same for your "baby blues" as well.
LOL!!!!!!! I swore off pink when my daughter was in utero! but it has crept back into my life too. TJMaxx rocks! What a deal you got! I am what I call a "sheet snob" (coining the term here). I LOVE bedding and I change it often. Mood swings are my changing around our bedroom....Pink is on the list. my color is purple and I already have that covered. I am sure my "pink problem" will surface soon. LOL!
That is defo icing on the cake! hehe :)
When my ex moved out I re-decorated the entire house. The bedroom had been blah, brown and ick. I put lace pricillas on the windows, a pink comforter, pink pillow shams, new paintings on the wall that were black and pink. The whole room was PINK an white frill. I loved it. It was mine!
