Bedspread and matching drapes – $60
Queen size bedspread $25. Two pair of matching drapes. $35 Full length with valance. One pair for double window and one pair for single window. Cash only please.
There isn’t much wrong with the listing itself. I’m just stunned that the bedspread and matching full-length drapes also match the wallpaper. I mean, it’s a nice pattern and all, but haven’t these people ever heard of moderation in design? It looks like someone vomited an English country garden on every surface of the room.
If I stayed in this room I think I would end up like the poor woman in The Yellow Wallpaper. But The Seafoam Green and Pink Wallpaper just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
that’s a pretty high-brow reference. sexy.
I think I’ve seen that bedspread at a sleezy motel in Atlantic City that I decided NOT to stay at.
hey, I totally just read the story you were referring to. Pretty cool, thanks!
Ah… I haven’t thought about that story in years. Scarred me in high school, that did. Still.. I don’t think that the person in the paper would look nearly as frightening composed of cheap looking flowers instead of floating heads. Just saying.
Yay for a ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ reference. Good, creepy story. Bad, ugly bedroom decor.
They also match the tissue box on the floor next to the bed!
OMG, I have the couch to match this set in my basement right now! LOL!
It was in the house when we moved in and instead of getting rid of it, we just moved it downstairs.
If only I had seen this ad when it was current! We could have collaborated!
Man…maybe I should post an ad looking for the person that bought these items, and see if they’re ready to come pick up their new couch.
And I think I saw that wallpaper in the bin at the thrift store today. I should go ahead and pick it up for them and throw it in for free. Good gimick, huh?
So the bedspread DOES match the drapes?
If your bedspread is green you need to see a doctor.
That is a torture chamber for bees. Bees be upon us all.
There were more items in the room that matched, but, you know, ninjas.
Two shots of the bedspread but no drapes in the pictures?
Or are they?
There’s Waldo!
Nothing to see here, move along now.
I keep looking at the photos, and I can’t understand why they would be selling such a beautiful bedspread. The drapes, now, that might be too much. 8)
What a hideous bedspread. Who would want to buy that thing?
Time for punching, Ghostie and Noni! It’s been very quiet in the box, so you must have been very good felines. Punchity Punch Punch!
G’Night, Kate Spade!
