Hotel room inspiration - Hotel Fasano - Rio De Janeiro
My husband was out of town a couple of weeks ago. The first night he returned and slept in our bed, he turned to me and asked me rather seriously "why can't we have a bed like a 5-star hotel - it felt so great to sleep in it". I looked at our bed and realized it was time for a makeover. We had on our bed what used to be good cotton sateen sheets but have seen enough cycles of washing that they have lost their sheen. The mattress is good and firm and supportive but is very cold when you get in. The 2 pillows on our bed are somewhat flat.
All in all, I don't mind our bed but I do love a challenge and could use a change. I needed a little more motivation and I had a wonderful idea. My husband always wakes up after me - usually when I've left for work. I can never get him to make the bed. A few months after being married, I just gave up - it wasn't worth the bickering.
So this is the deal we struck, I will redo the bed completely, make it extremely luxurious, inviting and comfortable. In exchange, he will make the bed everyday. I think its a pretty good deal and its all the motivation I need to get into this project full swing.
The research has begun. If you have any suggestions or ideas - I would love to hear them !
