Might as well rename this to My Damp Patch - its sopping wet and I'm not getting the job done

Another appalling weekend of weather and the patch was once again neglected for the home. To coin the Paul Whitehouse Character - this weekend I've been mostly looking at home fabrics.

Fun with Home Furnishings II - Bedding and Blinds

The mission was to spruce up the boudoir with new bedding and some better blinds.

How grim can life be when following a trip to the South West's finest shopping venue TRAGO MILLS CAMPUS I'm sat at the PC browsing pages about interior design getting to grips with colour wheels - trying to make some sense out of choosing fabric textures and colours for the bedroom. As one site informed:

"We spend a huge amount of time in our beds, and therefore it is essential that you have bedroom that has a calming influence, to enable you to get a good night's sleep."

Well first and foremost blow the colour I need to feel warm - so a luxurious non allegenic duvet and fine cotton duvet cover is top of the list . i was intrigued by the suggestion that I could share my bed with Kylie - what better then than to slip between the sheets with Kylie endorsed bedding from the "Kylie at Home" collection

Kylie at Home Bedding Duvet Covers

Considering the rain piddling down outside it seemed apt that a search for "Kylie sheets" returned various results for incontinence products - but there was a reasonable selection of Kylies latest bedroom offerings at Austins, Newton Abbot.

Is it just me or do loads of people hit the shops to have a good look and jot down prices only to return home and see how much cheaper you can find them on the net?

Compare prices online - find bedding cheaper than high street shops.

Search result - T*attys Fabrics

Eventually I found an on line fabrics shop site which seemed to be the answer to all my home furnishing needs T*attys - (not sure what the association with nappies is). I found the set I'd seen in the shops and got a king size duvet cover, pillow cases and two sheets for clicked add to basket and wait for delivery.

As for the blinds......now thats another story.

Keep your spade shining, till next time.
