However, not-so-great for putting my duvet and pillows in there, removing cushions, putting them back… Then, I realized I could just stuff everything into the smaller of the two closets. That’s brilliant storage under the cushions. The first couple of days, I put everything in one of the storage compartments underneath the sofa cushions. So, I realized I could keep the sheets on, but everything else has to go, elsewhere. I tried putting the bed away with the sheets, duvet, and pillows, but it didn’t close all the way. Well, unmaking it even more than it already is after a night of duking it out with my sheets. ![]() So, this is what my unmade bed looked like this morning.īecause of the Murphy bed sitch, bed making in the morning means unmaking it. But, before I’m allowed to eat anything, I must make the bloody bed.Īnd, not to complain, but morning for me usually feels like someone bonked me over the head. ![]() Still, there is a bit of a learning curve, as I am about to explain.Įvery day I get up, use the bathroom and have a drink. The Murphy bed unmade is like me going out without lipstick. In the meantime, I figured I better get used to making my bed daily. A month before I moved in, I was given instructions on how to work it. One reason, I believe, is because of the Murphy bed. Still, it occurred to me a few weeks ago that I was about to move into a studio apartment that, according to the owner, “lives larger than it is.” He’s right about that. However, I enjoy other people’s pillows and pillows I see in beautiful photos. However, for me, the minimalist approach works best. Of course, there are far more elaborate ways to make a bed.

(short of having a full-time housekeeper) :]īut, for many years, when Peaches, my darling paper-eating kitty was alive, I had a duvet cover, but after he passed near the end of 2014, I took the cover off and, from then on, I sleep with the sheet between me and the duvet and folded over it so the duvet stays relatively clean. I’ve created the easiest system possible. Bed making? Well, let’s just say it’s been a lifelong struggle unless someone’s watching. Lipstick, for me, is a given, not an option.

What’s the best way? What linens and bedclothes do I really need? How do I get a duvet cover on and stay in one place? Do I need a duvet? What about bedspreads and bed skirts?įorgive me, but I think you might have me confused with someone else. Please, oh please, do a blog post about bed making.
