Time To Change The Curtains Soon

[Bobbisox1]

I have white patterned voiles up during the Summer months and I lift the large rug as we have wooden floors , usually at the end of September I buy a new rug and curtains which I’ve just done , last years rug has gone into the small bedroom/office, today’s choice is deep red for both as I’ve got red and grey winter cushion covers,
Is there anything you change in the colder months ( apart from the winter duvet?)

My boxers, whether they need it or not after three months.

Just finished putting up new poles and curtains for the boss.

I change from satin pyjamas to flannel; from a t shirt to longjohns.

No same all year round and very little changes over the years. Just a cosy mismatched look throughout the house. Oh but cushions change. We don't do fashionable!! Our home is over 200 years old. If things wear out we change them. Our lounge curtains stay open winter and summer.

Barry, men in satin jarmies?

[Bobbisox1]

Lofty I think that’s fitting for a very old house, we close the curtains in Winter but leave them open in Summer

[barry1010]

Yes, Bobbi - I'm sure your better half would love a pair for Christmas

I have a nice thick pair of pyjamas which come out on those cold winter nights.
Hubby, who doesn't seem to feel the cold, still wears his boxers & a t-shirt.

[Bobbisox1]

Same as MrB Sharon although he feels the cold a lot more than he used to as he takes blood thinners for a mild stroke he had two years ago

I am hot in bed! ;0). I sleep in a shortie cotton T Shirt all year round. I couldn't sleep in PJs I hate my legs covered in bed.

[pat2604]

Hubby wears boxers all year round.

Take down the fire screen in the living room and get the coal scuttle and fire irons out of the shed ready for the first real fire. I have a kind of Scandi feel in my deco so don't change anything. At the front of the cottage I take out the summer bedding plants from the planters and change to autumn things like mini pumpkins and winter pansies, then nearer Xmas all the outside decorations go out -lights on the tree, pine cones and holly and ivy etc.

[anneasquith]

I thought changing curtains, bed linen, carpets only happened 50 years ago .!

[pat2604]

I take blood thinners.

Does this mean zBobbie that you buy new curtains every year!?

[Peter Pedant]

Yup if you go to Ver-sigh
the palace is decorated according to Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette but is discordant as to time
( summer decoration in autumn)
because the French state was bankrupt and couldnt afford to change them ( new every year obviously)
(Neckers financial reforms voted out by the French Lu-lu or whatever, bankrupted by the French support for the American war.)

Bobbi as Marie ant-warn-ette
do you eat Cake every day Bobbi ?
oo la la - may wee

My nana in the North of England changed all her curtains in Spring and again in Autumn. This was early 1070's. They went to the dry cleaners then were put away in the airing cupboard. She also had loose covered on the settee and chairs and changed those as well.

My boxers, whether they need it or not get washed after three months.

I cannot drop off to sleep if my feet are covered, so i always make sure they are poking out of the duvet. During summer months, they are still outside the duvet when i wake up. But in winter months, they mysteriously find their way under the duvet by the time i awaken.
