Is it normal for drool to stain brown?




When my husband drools in his sleep, the drool is brown on the sheets and his pillowcases. He used to say it was because the dog would lick his drool (gross I know) but we don’t have a dog anymore, and it’s still happening. He isn’t a smoker, and he doesn’t use chewing tobacco. Is this normal, or could something be wrong?
Also, we have white and creme sheets and pillow cases, so it’s not from dye or anything.

How many pillows do you have? Do all your pillowcases match?

How many decorative/throw pillows do you have?

Do you have a bed skirt? footboard? headboard?

Where can I buy black and white checkered bed sheets?




Sheets and pillowcases. NOT duvet covers, please.
I’ve looked at wakeupfrankie, but they don’t have checkered sheets.
I have a black duvet comforter thingy, and I want black&white checkered sheets to go with it.
Does anyone know where I can find some? D:

Love song suggestions?? Help!?




I have to compare a song that is similar to the poem Sorting Laundry. You don’t have to read the poem, but it may help. Basically it is about a woman who is confessing her love to a guy through the metaphor of sorting laundry and she loves him even though he’s not perfect and she wouldn’t be able to replace him. Any suggestions for a similar type of love song? Any ideas would be great! Thanks! :)

"Sorting Laundry"

Folding clothes,
I think of folding you
into my life.

Our king-sized sheets
like tablecloths
for the banquets of giants,

pillowcases, despite so many
washings, seems still
holding our dreams.

Towels patterned orange and green,
flowered pink and lavender,
gaudy, bought on sale,

reserved, we said, for the beach,
refusing, even after years,
to bleach into respectability.

So many shirts and skirts and pants
recycling week after week, head over heels
recapitulating themselves.

All those wrinkles
To be smoothed, or else
ignored; they’re in style.

Myriad uncoupled socks
which went paired into the foam
like those creatures in the ark.

And what’s shrunk
is tough to discard
even for Goodwill.

In pockets, surprises:
forgotten matches,
lost screws clinking the drain;

well-washed dollars, legal tender
for all debts public and private,
intact despite agitation;

and, gleaming in the maelstrom,
one bright dime,
broken necklace of good gold

you brought from Kuwait,
the strangely tailored shirt
left by a former lover…

If you were to leave me,
if I were to fold
only my own clothes,
the convexes and concaves
of my blouses, panties, stockings, bras
turned upon themselves,

a mountain of unsorted wash
could not fill
the empty side of the bed

Love song suggestions/help?




I have to find a song with lyrics that have a similar story or tone to the poem "Sorting Laundry" which is basically about how she loves a man and doesn’t want him to leave her because nothing would be the same, and love is never-ending, or however you want to interpret it. Any ideas would be great, even if you’re not sure that they would work. Thanks!

Getting white sheets back to white…?




I have white sheets at home and I can never get them white again. I know it’s not staining from the bleach I use because the fitted sheet is stained and the pillow cases are stained while the “loose” sheet is not. I’d like to try some home remedies before I go out and buy some more chemicals. As well, I can’t hang my sheets to dry in the sun because we don’t have a fence to hang a clothes line on and we don’t have anything for the sheets to hang off of outside.
Just a note — I wash the whole set together, the two sheets and two pillowcases. So that’s how I know it’s not the bleach.

The bleach didnt really seam to do much i mean they smell good but they are not bright white like they were when i bought them ( the reason they are dingy looking is not because we are dirty but the dog sleeps with us) lol pluss my bf got some blood on one of the pillowcases how can i brighten these sheets like brand new again?




Technorati Tags: , , , , , ,




I really like the color of the sheets and pillowcases I purchased. The color is rose. What other colors would look good to decorate with it?
You are all so helpful! I can already picture so many different angles that I can go with this. Thank you so much!
So many excellent answers!
I just want to say that these are truly all excellent answers, and it would be impossible to select only one best answer! Thanks again!

Where can I order a custom bedding set?




I have a king size bed and my fiance is a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan, so I’m trying to find a whole set for our bed, but can only find up to full/queen sized sets. I can find pillows and window treatments and all that with no problem – just not king size bedding. I thought maybe if I could find a place that makes custom bedding, they could help me out. Anyone know of any such places? Thanks in advance :)
I’m thinking the logo would be centered on the comforter, then the sheets would probably be the logo tiled all over (yay) and then the pillowcases and stuff would just be the logo centered again…I like the things I have seen on different websites, especially either the set with the microsuede comforter or the set with the jersey comforter.

Alright, well I am painting my room light yellow… about this color…

http://www.kristilinauerinteriors.com/behr-banana-split.jpg

and I am going to make new curtains and new bedspreads and pillowcases for my room. But I don’t know what color to make them, to match the yellow. I really have my heart set on the yellow, so changing that is not really an option. Please help? Thanks!




Technorati Tags: , , , , , , ,




I change my sheets and pillowcases every Tuesday and Saturday.

I wash my pillows and bedspread every few weeks, but it probably wouldn’t hurt if I did that more often. I just have one set of those things, and I have to take them to the laundromat.

Paisley sheet sets?




I’m going to college in the fall and really want sheets with this pattern

http://www.wakeupfrankie.com/ensemble.asp?ensemble_id=244#viewer

But only the sheets and pillowcases, not a comforter.
Any suggestions?




Technorati Tags: , , , , ,




Apparently it’s not being produced anymore, and my local store only has a king and full set. i have the twin set but I just upgraded my bed to a queen and want to get sheets for it, while still using my pillowcases (they’re darn expensive). Any idea where I can find the Leaf coloured organic bedsheets? or maybe the green ones that West Elm had/has. They are also discontinuing that colour. I dont’ get it it. I love the colour. grrr….. help!
