How To Fold a Fitted Sheet
Fitted sheets are an invention of wondrous convenience when you're making the bed, but not so much on laundry day! We've all got the one clever friend who really knows…
Bed Sheets with Stash Pockets
Can we forgive a semi-tacky website, if it’s showcasing a very cool product? Yep, when it’s NeatSheets – “as seen on TV,” as the saying goes. And what the heck are NeatSheets, you may well ask?
Fitted bed sheets with a side pocket!
Two pockets, actually, with elastic at the top… a bit like some models of recliners are made with a pocket on the outer side to hold your magazines and empty chip bags. Same concept. Except, of course, in a fitted sheet.
The Quest for Dog Beds
I’m probably not the only dog owner who has spent a ridiculous amount of time and effort on making sure her spoiled dogs are comfy.
The best dog beds I’ve found yet – meaning the most practical and durable – are a couple I got about 8 years ago at the hardware store. Basically, they’re bags of chipped foam stuffing inside a zippered cover made of PVC-lined canvas.
There wasn’t enough of the original stuffing, of course, and it all balled up in one corner within a couple weeks – you’ve got to go to the really high end dog beds or a really good crate mattress for adequate stuffing, don’t you find? – but those PVC/canvas covers were pure genius. You can just hose those beds down when they get dirty!
Eight years later, I’m still using those PVC-lined canvas dogs beds (well, the dogs are still using them, to be precise) although I’ve long since swapped out the old chipped-foam stuffing for a few layers of egg-crate foam I got secondhand on Kajiji.
And just today I noticed that there’s a 3 inch gap along one seam, so I’ll need to make a few repairs…
Really, there’s just one drawback:

Just oogle that Black Toile bedroom ensemble, and the Waverly appeal becomes obvious... When Waverly decided to discontinued their bedding lines in 2005, some home decorators and their clients had…
Giraffe Bedding in a Bag
Okay, it's true that I just like saying Giraffe in a Bag!! But seriously, anyone with an eye to home fashion can't miss the fact that animal prints are hot…
