That makes a lot of sense.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609264099969968987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087579596836256941.post-84157639819366941642010-02-17T07:26:52.998-06:002010-02-17T07:26:52.998-06:00It used to be that everyone used a bedspread, whic...It used to be that everyone used a bedspread, which required the technique of doing a neat fold-over maneuver to cover the pillows. Comforters came along, and shams then became the way to cover up the foibles of the bed pillows (wrinkles, drool, not matching the sheets). A sham refers to something that is false, and a pillow sham provides the illusion of being a fancy decorative pillow, whereas it is really a normal pillow in a disguise.<br />I use the second tier pillows in the shams - the ones that have been retired and replaced.Joyce Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14660042747336943360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087579596836256941.post-20542874149675387702010-02-16T21:57:10.326-06:002010-02-16T21:57:10.326-06:00I was totally going to reference the Along Came Po...I was totally going to reference the Along Came Polly scene, too! I used shams once when I was little because it came with the set, but honestly thought of them only as "fancy pillowcases" and nothing more. I think as long as your pillows match the decor (color & theme) of the rest of your bedding, and they're aren't weird shaped or drooled on, you're ok. :)Rebahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13937631373766914483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087579596836256941.post-8044994384644711302010-02-16T13:26:32.048-06:002010-02-16T13:26:32.048-06:00I think pillow shams are handy tool for covering p...I think pillow shams are handy tool for covering pillows which can be drooly and lumpy. No one wants to see a drooly, lumpy pillow.<br />I'm not suggesting a bed full of pillows is necessary, merely a sham and pillow in a 1 to 1 ratio.<br />They are also handy when you are having extra guests; you just pull the pillow out and put a regular pillow case on it. Then the rest of the time you don't have to find a place to store a bunch of extra pillows.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07583421209762277347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087579596836256941.post-49583455526983996522010-02-16T09:47:16.867-06:002010-02-16T09:47:16.867-06:00Ask yourself "Do I need this or do I just wan...Ask yourself "Do I need this or do I just want this?" and then "Is a tool or is this a toy?" and ultimately "Does this make Christ increase and me decrease?" Be honest and realize that these questions are very biblical and should be answered with honesty.Andrew Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04334732832081570201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087579596836256941.post-61902405626249057422010-02-16T07:13:41.447-06:002010-02-16T07:13:41.447-06:00have you ever seen Along Came Polly? there's a...have you ever seen Along Came Polly? there's a scene where Polly {Jennifer Aniston} shows Rueben {Ben Stiller} just how unnecessary throw pillows are. they end up ripping them all apart and creating a snowy wonderland in his bedroom.<br /><br />i think that extra pillows on the bed not used for sleeping are pointless. that may not be the most "decorator friendly" advice, but who sees your bedroom that will think "hmmm, no shams. what a loser."? if they think that, do they really need to be in your bedroom? <br /><br />i think you can decorate well without all the extras cluttering up your space.Robyn Devinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07761849399730058091noreply@blogger.com
