I am by no means an interior decorator and go with colors that make me happy. We basically live in our truck and pretty much treat the house as a vacation get away. I now deocrate the truck with my winter warm colors and my summer cool colors. I really like the dark reds in the winter for the warmth they portray and the reds go good with the gray. I really enjoy Christmas so I often get a little carried away with decorating the truck but once again I enjoy that festive feeling of jingle bells and cold! I also as you can see in the picture really like the candle lights people have in their houses and I found this one at a Home Depotthat has a light sensor. Looks really neat at night. In the summer I like to change to to the lighter colors and I think the blue goes well with the GRAY! Molly of course looks good laying on either color which she spends a lot of time doing. In the summer time the lighter colors just make the truck feel cooler even if it is a figment of my imagination. The dark oak floors and the lighter wood of the cabinets I think really make our sleeper look like a home instead of a cave like many sleepers. After my mom passed away we squired her black Cocker Spaniel Boots who was in her own right OLD and she insisted on sleeping with her head on my pillow. I like dogs but I do not like hair and my pillow was always full of little black Cocker Spaniel hair so I fooled her and started using pillow shams. Now Boots has passed away and I still like the pillow shams. I like to make the bed up to look like a day bed and it also seems to give the sleeper the look of more room. Bob took out the upper bunk and installed these cabinets for more storage and they are awesome! You can not tell they were not put in here originally. The way he installed them gives me more room for books, movies and safe place for my computer and printer. Over all I think we have a very comfortable sleeper and it has served us well.

That's pretty spiffy! I have one comfortor that I use year round, double sided purple... one solid one with grey polka dots. But the sheets... those are seasonal. Cooler weather I break out the jersey sheets and in the warmer temps I prefer the light cotton, a la martha stewart! haha
ReplyDeleteI really like our flannel sheets in the winter. Not sure really what our summer sheets are nothing special. The two sided comforter sounds like a great idea!
ReplyDeleteIs your bed down all the time? If ours was, I would totally do the same thing - I like doing the seasonal thing!
ReplyDeleteEd's Mom bought us the best comforter and we use it year round. As you may know, I hate to be hot, so nothing heavy is ever required....and I have Ed too...he's a human furnace. I don't know how he doesn't burn himself touching his own skin. LOL
We do not have a table so I have to use the bed to make meals on. Our next truck will have a table and I cannot wait! You are lucky to have a table and countertop.
