A little less hippy, a little more middle aged
We finally did it. We went out and bought our first brand new American Surburbanite bed. You know, the kind with the spring coiled orthopedic mattress, box springs and metal frame. The kind that costs four times what I've ever paid for a bed since I've always bought waterbeds or futons. It's also a king size instead of a queen (better to fit two large adults and the three dogs who will, no doubt, join us on the bed this winter.) That meant a trip to Target for new cheap sheets. There's no point in buying expensive sheets when you have three dogs since expensive sheets wear out just as fast as cheap sheets given the number of washings involved. We picked up our traditional black (called "charcoal" this year) and went searching for a new comforter only to find there was no king size in black...er, charcoal. That's when we found the leopard print set. I decided that was perfect to offset the surburbanite vibe that the new bed would impart upon the room. And if it ends up reminding me of 70's porn movies, so much the better ;-)
