There's a trick to it. Once you learn it, remaking a bed completely takes five minutes or less. I really do have to make a post about it one day! <br /><br />We buy our flat sheets in the local thrift shops. They rarely cost us more than a dollar a piece.

Whenever I sleep at a hotel I end up with the sheet all pulled out and a huge mess... having the maid there to make the bed makes this not matter quite as much but if I had to remake my whole bed like that everyday at home I'd cry! That being said, it is really uncommon to buy sheet "sets" here in The Netherlands. You buy them separately and the flat sheets are WAY more expensive and hard to find in my experience. <br />mubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673719943332888707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5989362245731259716.post-61877419663879705292013-01-25T21:27:15.059-08:002013-01-25T21:27:15.059-08:00Thanks Ginny, and welcome. :) I'm glad you l...Thanks Ginny, and welcome. :) I'm glad you liked the post.<br />Aunt Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12805537873269992072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5989362245731259716.post-64537269435782826632013-01-25T17:32:46.370-08:002013-01-25T17:32:46.370-08:00Loved finding this Blog, Aunt B.
