Give white bed linen a new lease of life. Buy material ribbons or
passementerie and sew one band or two a little way in from the hems of
your white pillowcases and sheets. As white bed linen is really often
cheaper you could buy white bed linen and give it a makeover.
Want a pile of cushions on your bed? Find remnants at fabric
stores and use them to do dear looking cushion covers. The
wedding fabric department often has luscious silk, material and velvet
pieces at a fraction of the usual price. Foam cushion inners are
inexpensive.

fresh scent. Or use scented laundry waters once

boxes fitted with castors. Or else
