For many many years now,
there is one item that I have desired......

....wanted...

....coveted...

some would say, even lusted after. Alas, until now, I had not found one that I both liked and could afford at the time.

Today, I found the object of my desire.....

It really was such a simple thing to desire...
A duvet cover.

This is the brown version of what I bought....mine is blues and browns:


Since the new house was built in the 1970s and still has all the original cabinetry, hardware, woodwork (including paneling...aggg), I'm redecorating everything retro. This duvet is PERFECT and I love it!

Not only that, but it is regular price around $80...I paid $20 at TJ Maxx! Woot!

*sigh*


Edit: my kids got some new sheets too but I'm not nearly as excited about that. Their room is hot pink...blerg.

*confuses*
You've never had a dovet cover before?

I'm sure that's a lovely style for you and would suite your room perfectly, I do hope you get pleasure out of it. It's just not my cup of tea though, no offence, great times had by all, just forum banter.

TJ Maxx
is awesome, but I prefer Ross.

And T J Maxx
is of course called T K Maxx in the UK, apparently because it would have been confused by the incredibly ignorant buying public with the similarly named T J Hughes.

Are we talking about TJ Hooker?
I'm confused :(
