Cheap Cottage Bed Linens From Sam's Club

 I had really intended on documenting all purchases

for the cottage on this blog -- and I have failed miserably.

Last weekend we were in our old stomping grounds and 

found these two side tables that will go on either side of the queen bed.

$77 for the pair, which were a bright green -- I painted them a pale gray.

And decided to look for baskets to go in the center.

 I friend of mine suggested I check out Home Goods --

and I loved it!  I found these baskets with a gray hue

to them for $12.99 each.  So now the side tables are done.

 A couple weeks ago I was at Sam's Club and they

were clearancing their Rachel Ashwell (mother of the

shabby chic craze) bed linens.  I got this queen comforter for $17!

I wasn't looking for gray -- but that is how a gray accented bedroom started.

(They were moving out all the Rachel Ashwell to make room for Martha Stewart).

 I got this package with TWO complete sets

of matching sheets for $17 as well.

They aren't cotton, so probably won't wear too well --

but for $8.50 a set who cares?

 I also got two matching "throws" which I will put

on the foot of the twin beds.  They were clearanced for $4 each!

And here is a sample of the throw pillows I got for the beds.

Home Goods $19.95 each.

The upside is that the cover zips off for washing,

so I got three.
