Canopy Bed

    Swing-arm rods mounted above the bed make this campaign-style canopy a snap to construct in just a day with basic sewing skills. Coordinating fabrics offer subtle variations on a jazzy striped theme. Swing-arm rods have a pivot that fastens to the wall, allowing the rod to swing out from the wall. Here, one swing rod is mounted at each end of a stationary back rod. Use the top of a window or door to determine a pleasing height for mounting the hardware.

    What You Need:
    • Sewing machine
    • Scissors
    • Measuring tape
    • Iron
    • Two complementary fabrics (use sheeting if you want to coordinate the canopy with your bedding ensemble)
    • A standard drapery rod and a pair of matching swing-arm rods
    Instructions:

    1. Cut the panels.

    For the side panels, measure the length of the swing rod and the distance from the rod to the floor, adding several inches to each measurement to allow for seams, gathers, and a hem. Cut two pieces from each complementary fabric, using the side-panel measurement. For the two back panels, measure half the back rod's length by the distance from the rod to the floor, again allowing for seams, gathers, and a hem. Cut two pieces from each complementary fabric using the back-panel measurement. For each panel, lay both lengths of complementary fabric with edges even and right sides facing; pin.

    2. Make the ties.

    Cut 24 ties, each measuring 2 x 10 inches. Fold the ties in half lengthwise, right sides together. Using 1/2-inch seams, stitch across one short end and down the lengthwise raw edge. Turn the ties and press. Pair off the ties, aligning the raw edges; baste 1/2 inch from raw edge. Each fabric panel gets three tie pairs. Along each panel's top edge, insert tie pairs between the two pieces of fabric so that each tie's raw edge aligns with the fabric's raw edge. The ties should be evenly spaced, with the outer ties 1/2 inch from the outer edges of the panel.

    3. Sew the panels.

    Stitch all four sides using 1/2-inch seams and leaving several inches open at the bottom for turning. Clip seams diagonally across the corners to make turning easier. Turn fabric. Press. Slip-stitch opening closed. Tie a panel to each swing rod and two to the back rod.

Selecting Bed Pillows

    Pillow Basics

    Fill Materials

    Pillow selection of a matter of personal preference. Once you decide on a size and fill material, look for a pillow that can be fluffed and squashed as much as you like, and that has the thickness and firmness you find comfortable.

    Natural-fill pillows, such as feather and down, offer the most comfort, longest wear, and most adjustability; however, they are not suitable for people who are allergic to feathers. Although feather pillows offer support and resilience, down has more softness. Though expensive, good quality natural-fill pillows can last up to 10 years.

    Combination feather and down pillows have feathers on one side, a fabric divider through the center, and down on the opposite side.

    Synthetic and polyester pillows are generally solid but may be textured, shaped, or wrapped in batting for added softness. Some of these pillows are shaped to offer support for specific parts of the body. Synthetic pillows are generally less expensive than down and offer less wear as well. Replace them every two to four years, or whenever they lose their shape and bounce.


    • Down: Filled with tiny goose or duck feathers, down pillows are soft and plush. White goose down is considered the best quality natural fill for bed pillows. They are expensive and require frequent fluffing, but they adjust to sleeping positions.
    • Down-and-feather mixture: This mix is soft but not as plush as pure down. This fill combines the softness and resilience of down with firm support of feathers. It is an affordable alternative to down.
    • Feather: Goose feathers are best quality; duck feathers are second. Feather pillows are more flexible than down. Fluff the pillows occasionally in a dryer set at the hottest setting for dust mite control.
    • Synthetic fiber: This is a good choice for people who are allergic to down. Quality synthetic fills are durable and inexpensive. Polyester puffs mimic the performance and resiliency of down.
    • Latex: These economical pillows are resistant to dust mites and mildew but less comfortable than down or synthetic pillows.
    • Buckwheat hulls: This fill, which has been used abroad for centuries, is relatively new to the United States. The pillows are generally smaller than standard pillows, they mold easily to form, and they are not conducive to dust mites, making them a good choice for allergy sufferers. Some people find them annoying and noisy to sleep on, however, so before buying one, ask if it is returnable, or consider purchasing a small size to try out the feel.
    • Foam rubber: This inexpensive pillow is considered hypoallergenic and can be sculpted for specific sleep style support. Foam rubber wears out quickly and will need to be replaced every year or two. If you prefer the plush softness of down pillows, the extra firmness in a foam version will probably prove to be uncomfortable.

    Need new pillows? Here's a test: Place the pillow on the floor and fold it in half. For down or feather pillows, squeeze out the air. When you release it, the pillow should return to normal shape. For synthetic pillows, place a medium-size tennis shoe on the pillow. The pillow should spill the shoe and return to shape.

    Pillow care: Down and down-and-feather pillows should be dry-cleaned once or twice a year. Some cleaners promote pillow cleaning service periodically. Synthetic pillows generally can be machine washed; check the care labels. If you use pillow protectors, which are sold with bed linens, wash synthetic pillows annually.

Put Together a Perfect Guest Room

    If you're like me, you love to have house guests! I like to help them feel especially welcome by preparing my guest room to make it comfortable when anyone pops in for a visit.

    When you start to plan your guest room, think about what you'd expect to find in a 5-diamond hotel and try to make your room measure up to that standard. Your budget may not have enough in it to let you create a getaway oasis, but you can clear the decks, arrange what's necessary, and provide a quiet place to relax.

    Read our list of things to do or buy to help you set up a comfortable guest room for your visitors.

    • The Best Bed Your Money Can Buy

      Don't give your guest the oldest, most saggy mattress you have. If you can't afford a new or good used bed, think about getting a quality air mattress. They're really quite comfortable and can be placed on top of a box spring, over a sofa bed mattress, or on the floor.

    • Bedding Upgrades

      Beyond clean bedding, think about adding wonderful bed linens and comfort items often supplied by fine B&B's: a featherbed mattress topper, a choice of pillows, a cozy down comforter, extra blankets, and freshly ironed pillowcases.

    • Fresh Linens

      Always have an extra set of bed and bath linens available for your guests. Accidents DO happen! Or you may have one of those wonderful guests who insists on changing the sheets when they leave. Let them do it! And thank them profusely!

    • A Place to Set Down a Suitcase

      Clear a space to put a luggage rack or a small table or bench to set down a suitcase. No one likes to have to stoop over to the floor to pull out a clean pair of socks. Even a chair is better than nothing!

    • Clear the Decks

      Resist the temptation to put your beautiful collection of dolls on the dresser or fill the closet with out-of-season clothes. In a guest room, less is more--more space, more comfortable, and more welcoming. Get rid of anything that you would not find in the room of a fine hotel. Keep only the most useful items in the room, like a clock and calendar.

    • A Comfy Place to Sit

      Some people absolutely do not sit on a bed! And your guests shouldn't have to. Place an upholstered armchair or side chair in the room with a table and lamp close by.

    • Good Lighting

      It always amazes me when I walk into an otherwise nice hotel room and there's no light to read by! It's always nice to have a light control near the bed, so your guest won't have to stumble around in the dark, just to turn a light on. If nothing else, provide a good reading light near a chair or over the bed. Another fixture or lamp near the desk would be great. A small night light is helpful and a lighted magnifying make-up mirror is a real luxury!

    • Hanging Clothes Storage

      If your guest room shares space with a home office, clear at least a foot or two of pole space in the closet. Or purchase an inexpensive over-the-door hook that can accommodate some hanging clothes. Don't forget a supply of 6 or 8 hangers. A simple hook on the wall or behind a closet door can hold a robe, coat, or a purse.

    • Drawer Space

      If you have an extra chest of drawers, how perfect! But at least clear out one or two drawers for small items. Both you and your guest will feel better with odds and ends out of sight.

    • Simple Basics

      I need to have a lighted clock next to my bed. An alarm clock or clock/radio is even better. Provide paper and pens or pencils, scissors, tape, tissue, and a hair dryer and have all the bases covered. If you don't have an extra iron and ironing board to offer, be sure to tell your guest where they can find yours. A phone in the room will be a much-appreciated bonus item. How about a pre-paid phone card and instructions on how to use it?

    • Provide Privacy

      You might know that the big maple tree just outside the window camouflages everything going on, but your guest won't. Choose window coverings that not only add to the character of the room, but provide privacy and light control, as well. If you must keep it simple, a nice blind can offer works great. You can always add a beautiful valance or side panels later.

Keep Warm in Your Bed This Winter With Cozy Winter Bed Linens

    Winter bedding is much like winter clothes. If you live in an area that has climate changes from season to season, you most likely have winter clothes and summer clothes. You may even have a special area to store out-of-season things. Isn't it logical that you'd also change the clothes on your bed when warm sunny evenings turn to chilly nights?

    You'll find information about how to dress your bed for cold weather with new and not-so-new products for ultimate comfort.

    From wool mattress pads and cushy feather beds to lie on, to soft flannel sheets, down comforters and fluffy, wool blankets, there are lots of products to choose from. Only you can decide what combination is the right one for you.

    Read on to find just the right products that you can use to create a cocoon for a wonderful, cozy winter's rest.

    * The Cozy Comfort of Down

    Down is the light fluffy coating that protects birds from exposure to the outside elements, and it is probably the most popular product used for lightweight, warm blankets, comforters, and pillows.

    Because down is able to retain just the right degree of warmth for most bodies, it's considered one of the most perfect products for comfortable bedding.

    Down bedding products are manufactured in many qualities and prices vary drastically. Depending on your location, you should choose the weight and density for ultimate comfort. Down and feathers are combined for a less expensive product. The finest, most expensive products are made from 100% pure white goose down.

    Down products are rated by "fill power". Pacific Coast Feather Company says that "fill power is a term used to describe the quality of down. The higher the fill power, the larger and stronger the clusters of down. Large clusters provide superior insulation, breathe better and last much longer than smaller, fragile down clusters."

    Down blankets and comforters are sewn with baffles to keep the down filling evenly distributed. Baffle box construction means that the product has internal three-dimensional fabric wall boxes which allow for maximum thickness and comfort while maintaining even distribution within the boxes. Comforters and blankets with straight-through quilt stitching will have cold spots where there is no down.

    Down comforters and blankets are sold in the same sizes as other blankets and bedding. Be sure to measure your bed carefully before you shop for a down blanket.

    Down comforters are available in many colors, white being the most common.

    If you choose not to use a sheet or other blankets with a down blanket or comforter, the comforter then becomes a "duvet." This simple blanket makes it easy for children to make their beds. A simple shake of the comforter over the bed is all that's necessary.

    You might decide to cover your duvet with a duvet cover which is really just a big pillow case for a blanket. The cover can be plain fabric or decorative to compliment your room's decor.

    People with allergies to animals might not be able to use down products. But the finest companies wash and rinse their down and feathers up to eight times, removing the dust, dirt and allergens that cause allergic reactions. Tightly woven fabric covers are leak proof, so down and feathers won't leak out.

Tips for Buying Bed Skirts

    Bed skirts are designed to hide a bed's box spring or foundation. An additional benefit is that a bed skirt on a bed allows you to use the space under the bed to store things out of sight but easily accessible.

    For home decor, a bedskirt offers a way to add style, pattern, and color to the bedroom.

    A bedskirt can be tailored with pleats or a flat panel, gathered into ruffles, or combining several layers of coordinating fabrics.

    When you're planning to buy a bed skirt for your bed, there are several things to consider.

    • Size
      Don't just guess that your queen size bed is 60" wide and 80" long. Mattresses, box springs and foundations can vary slightly in size. It's important to get the right size of bedskirt so thatit will hang properly on your bed.
    • Drop
      When speaking of the drop of a bed skirt (or a table cloth), we're referring to the measurement from the top of the foundatino to teh floor. A standard measurement for ready-made bed skirts is 15", but they do vary. If your "drop" measurement is 16", the standard bed skirt will not go all the way to the floor. If your "drop" measurement is 14" the bed skirt will drag on the floor.

    • Color
      A solid color bed skirt is a versatile choice for a bed skirt. If you select a light color such as white, pink, yellow, or other pastel, be sure that the bed skirt is lined or made of a heavy fabric so that light does not show through from under the bed.

    • Pattern
      A bedskirt is a great place to use an interesting pattern, stripe, plaid, check, or texture. This can either complement or contrast with other fabrics in the room.

    • Texture
      A bed skirt made with heavy-textured fabric will keep its shape and stand fresh for a number of years. You'll only need to take it off for cleaning. Fabrics like chenille, velvet, faux suede, and matelasse work well.

    • Ready-Made Bed Skirts
      When you're buying sheets or a comforter, you will often find a matching bed skirt. But beware! Most of these pieces are made out of inexpensive fabrics and will not give a good look when placed on the bed. And often, the pattern may be the same or similar but the fabric may be of an inferior quality and the piece will not hold up. Be sure that you can return any piece that is not correct.

    • Finishing Touches for Bed Skirts
      A plain bed skirt can be embellished to look custom-made with the addition of a trim of lace, an overlay of eyelet or sheer fabric, ribbon trim, or beaded trims. Experiment for a custom look, then buy the materials you'll need.

    • Don't Settle Until the Bed Skirt is Perfect
      Once you've decided on the right size, good color, interesting fabric, and finishing touches, take a few minutes to press the bed skirt. It will hang off the side of the bed better when you eliminate unsightly wrinkles and look much more professional.
