Semi-Charmed Kind of Life

Let’s talk about bed sheets and comforters, people. Because I am in dire need of a comforter.

The background: my roommate is in the process of buying a house and she asked me if I wanted to move in with her. Rent would be cheap and thinking it over in my head, I decided that yes, I would.

We went out the day after I got back from Afghanistan and went looking at furniture. I got a queen sized bed with a box spring and an antique, Victorian stand with a pink marble top. The stand/drawer thing (hard to explain, once I get it moved in perhaps I will take a picture) has set the theme of my room. The colors have to go along with it now, otherwise it will be horribly out of place.

This has left me at a loss in the bedding department. Do you know how hard it is to find a comforter that matches the damn thing? It’s been a bitch so far. The only place that has a comforter that matches it and that I like is Victoria’s Secret. The problem here is, or so my mother thinks, is that the comforter I’m thinking about is satin. She tells me that it will slip off of my bed and that it’s going to be a real hassle. I’ve never had satin sheets or a satin comforter, for that matter, so I can’t really say.

So, do any of you have any input? I would really like a nice comforter that is comfortable and matches my r[future] room’s decor. The only things I’ve found at Linen ‘N’ Things either looked like it was fit for a teenager’s room or was insanely priced.
