I bought this today. And now I need your help.
I have spent the past month searching for a new bed covering for our bed. Comforters, duvet covers, quilts...I have looked at them all. In every color and pattern. In every store in town. In every store online. And I haven't been able to find something that I liked in our price range. Until today.
I found this comforter at Kohls. I saw it a long time ago and liked it, but it was out of the price range. Thanks to Kohls "Lowest Price of the Season" sale (aren't they always having a "lowest price of the season" sale???) and a 15% off coupon and a chance to earn $40 in Kohls cash...this comforter and the coordinating pillows fit into the price range. So I bought them. But now I'm not sure.
When it comes to things like this, I am so indecisive. I realize it is just a comforter and not a big deal at all. But I have spent A LOT OF TIME researching all of our options. I mean hours and hours and hours of wasted time, driving to stores and looking at all the possible online options. So I want to be happy with the final decision so it wasn't all for nothing.
So here is a list of pros and cons about the bedding. I know you photo a day blog readers are out there, so here is a chance to chime in and help me make this decision!!
PROS:
-I like the colors and the simplicity of the solid color. I've looked at a ton of patterns and can't find anything I like, so maybe a solid is more my style.
-I like the fun and funky pillows that go with it. (there is a brown one I am still going to buy with my $40 Kohls cash)
-It is in the price range.
-It is a dark color, so it won't show every piece of dirt that Maggie brings into our bed.
-I already own it and hate returning things.
CONS:
-The colors are very similar to my living/dining room. Am I too boring if I decorate all my rooms with the same color scheme?
-It is dry clean only. And we have a dog that sleeps in our bed. I can't afford to get it dry cleaned very often (or ever).
-Daniel doesn't like the funky felt flowers on the pillow I bought today (even though I think they are fun, see above).
The dry clean thing is the biggest con for me. Getting a washable duvet cover would probably be smarter. But then again, I do really like the look of this one, and there hasn't been much else that I have liked. See why I need your help?? I just can't handle big decisions like this. =)

Our comforter needs dry cleaned as well but we only do it a couple times a year. We take it to the ghetto dry cleaner next to melocreme on Bruns Lane and Chatham rd. I think it's a pretty reasonable price to do it there. Breanne would know the price for sure, but I think it's like $15. We also have 2 dogs that love to be on our bed. Hope that helps!
Hmm...$15 does seem to be reasonable. I'm sure we could afford that a few times a year. I was thinking it would be a lot more than that for such a big item.
