@lolakimono  Very pretty.  Which pattern would go with those rustic bunk beds you posted the other day?  That bed is still my fav that you posted.  Don't think anything will top those, but I know you'll give it a try!!!

This 200-ct. percale comes to you all the way from Italy.

Interesting.  I'm all about sheets.  I send my sheets to the drycleaners to get them cleaned (after I've washed them) and pressed very stiff..I like them very stiff.

My favorites have always been 1,000 count sheets.  However, I've stopped buying them because they make my washing machine go sideways (heavy).

Ever since I got the Sleep Number Bed, it doesn't do much good to get the sheets ironed (no wrinkles) because I keep the front of it tilted upward most of the time.  That causes the sheet to wrinkle up.

I think people don't give enough thought to nice sheets.  Look at how many hours we spend laying on the things!

200 thread count isn't very high.  I know it's percale...but it wouldn't stiffen up very well.

Ever since my husband died, I've noticed my weird habits are coming out!  Yikes!

Percale is my absolute favorite. They almost always make for a bed that looks and feels crisp.

@lolakimonoI    I like Chrysanthemum sheets in the pastel colors only.  I have lucked out at Nordstrom Rack for a sheet set for $44.  Right now I would like to find either a very pale baby pink or a very pale baby blue sheets and pillow cases.  I own an ivory duvet that is Matlese Floral from Pottery Barn and I love it  because it never looks wrinkled.  Best investment I ever made in bedding.

I love patterned sheets, but I only buy white sheets for my bed. I've had patterned sheets that fade. I did buy a set of white Martha Stewart sheets recently that have teeny little blue pom poms at the top edge. I have small patterns and sheet colors in the extra bedrooms,where they're not used as often. The polka dot sheets in the picture remind me of when IM had sheets at Target.
