Bed making is a process that we humans have been equipped for for well, eons. So you ask, how could something so simple and boring be fun? I will answer you with this. You ask, what is this? This, my friend, is a quilt. With the look of dark, dark chocolate, and the feel of silk, there is only one material that can achieve this phenomena. By speech of the gods, this material has appeared on my bed, this material called polyester silk. In Wendeng City China, this quilt was made to last. (unlike the last, which is stringy) Thanks to Shandong Yunlong Embroidery Co LDT and a local department store.

Behold.

 

The finished product/six pillows.

 

As you can see, my bed is food coloured. I have a graham cracker duvet cover, a dark chocolate quilt, milk chocolate pillows and striped pastry sheets. Striped pastry sheets are also a product of a recent shopping endeavor. Egyptian cotton, oh yes. The previous sheet set was the colour of the milk chocolate two pillows, though it had succumbed to the queen of wash. It faded, with the addition of orange blotches, as if bleach had touched their sacred threads, and tore away their precious colour. I will forever mourn this loss. Notice the wrinkled pillow, thanks to a little spider that fell from the sky. I took a photo before disarming the beast, but alas I had focused more on the threads than the beast itself.

 

It’s called the thread count game, because you can never trust what the package says.

 

The gap in front of the standard pillows to be filled at a later date. These things take time. And hey, you can’t rush perfection. Neither can I.
