This in itself is probably not blog-worthy. I do it everyday, right? Well come on! Of course I do! OCD, remember? Anyway. This is worth a post because I have just realized that for that one room, our bedroom, there are 16 pillows that go to the bed. Does the seem like a lot? There used to be just 10. Ten still seems high though.
So you know we just got new furniture in there. We still have the same bed, but new bedding that actually goes with the room. It is a California King size, so it’s big. However as it stands today we have three euro pillows, two king size pillows that are placed on the made bed where I think you’d normally put your actual ‘sleeping pillows’ be we do these just to look at so the pillowcase stays nice. After those there are the king sized pillows inside the shams that go with the comforter. Is that where normal people stop? Well we keep on going with 3 decorative pillows in a bold color. Finally there is the dec pillow to match the comforter. We actually have 2 more of those that may or may not go on the bed that day. That’s 12 to thirteen pillows right there! None of them are actually used for sleeping!! All of that comes off at night before bed!! We have 3 other pillows that are used for sleeping…
Is that crazy? The guest room that is rarely used is no better. The 6 pillows on that bed are just to look at. We have the 2 sleeping pillows for that room in the closet.
I just did some quick math. It seems we have about 33 pillows in this house. That includes decorative and functional. How gay are we??
[Fabulous!]
LOL! I think it’s cool to have so many pillows. It makes everything seem more homy and comfy. We, ourselves, only have a pillow each. But if I had a choice, I’d prefer alot, like you!

Decisions, decisions.
Posted by Brian on 02/20 at 02:17 PMI am a huge pillow fan, well I am actually just a huge fan of making beds feel like they are big puffy clouds - I think your beds sound GORGEOUS and comfy!

daniel, your bed sounds beautiful! i am just a little better off than you as far as the pillows go. i live by myself, have a queen size bed, and sleep wth 4 king size feather pillows. i have 3 decorative ones that go on after the bed is made, but i don’t have any “just to look at” pillows. i need to work on that! i think i am now suffering from ‘pillow envy’! when i sleep i am surrounded by a pile of pouf, between the pillows and the down comforter, (that is on the bed all year long even though i live in FL). it’s all so comfy, i have to pry myself out of bed every morning.Posted by antisocialite on 02/20 at 05:55 PMI don’t think this is Imelda Marcos-like behavior, but I understand the link.
Yep, you guys are gay as hell. And I love it.
Posted by durante vita on 02/21 at 02:42 PMThat is too funny. But where are the pictures Daniel?
Since you have like about 30 pillows in your house, you should one day put all those pillows on your bed and take a picture. Make it an art piece, or something. ehehe.
