We have phones now and more boxes unpacked, so I'm feeling a little less overwhelmed. Things are coming together! So what's this about bed skirts? Here's a tip from my husband!
Picture this: my husband and I wrestling with a king-size mattress to place it perfectly on the bed skirt while keeping the bed skirt in place. In order to do this, you would need to lift the mattress above the bed and lay it gently on top of the bed skirt.
Do you know how much king-size mattresses weigh? I don't either, but they are HEAVY! We could never get it right ... until now.
My wonderful husband came up with this idea: he cut a u-shape out of the top of the the bed skirt (the part that goes under the mattress), with the opening of the u at the head of the bed. He left a foot of material all around to tuck between the mattress and box springs.
He suggests starting at the foot of the bed when tucking the bed skirt in, in order to get the corners in the right place, and then do each side. Flipping the mattress just got easier, and washing your bed skirt isn't a chore.
Isn't it amazing what you learn when you move?
