Fall Decorating … sometimes means doing the dirty work. After dusty drive by traffic, rain and dog noses, I find making time to wash windows and relayed decor is plenty of redecorating. If you do the job of decorating your home for all seasons, it should not need too much transition seasonally, like our grandmothers may have done. Changing bedding to winter wear soon and adding to Summertime sheers a heavy and warm drape is more a function than a feature. It does wake us up to the time of year, as we close the windows overnight to keep that warm air of the sunny day inside til tomorrow. Today’s modern homes faire well with a single window treatment that both keep your space warm in winter and cool in summer. A great set of cotton sheets, 600 thread count is my favorite, with a flannel fitted sheet for winter, and a down comforter is the most comfortable bed ensemble. New age microfibers, jersey, don’t stand a chance next to natural fibers like cotton, flax, hemp or bamboo. A fresh bed, sleep like a baby. Clean windows , well that’s a wonderful way to wake up and make the most of those short winterlit days. For more decorating advice or help with a particular project, email at ccomforts@comcast.net.
