While I can’t exactly tell you where to find the items necessary to express your passion, which Sam Martin cites can be anything from Japanese tearooms to boxing, I can tell you the recession has kept even the single men and women out there from spending their money as freely and lavishly as before. In November the New York Times ran an article called “The Decline and Fall of the Bachelor Pad”. According to the article, single men in the 20-30 age bracket were hit harder than women of the same age bracket in the recession in terms of unemployment and layoffs. According to the article, there are two ways to cope with the impending doom of the bachelor pad: teaming up with a fellow bachelor to split the cost of a suave flat or hoping the women aren’t too money-conscious. Ouch.

But you can still be classy without the big spending: try some elegant afghan throws, or even some special wine glasses or charms. A few luxury items draw attention to your passions, perhaps to your quality taste in wine or your love of cuddling in soft blankets.

I think you should keep the bedding for the kiddos bright and fresh! Soon enough they will be insisting on purchasing dark toned sheets and black curtains to block out the cruel, cruel world.

It’s like they would never take the time to cushion their nest, but I have yet to meet a man who didn’t miss it when they break up with their girlfriend and all of a sudden the scented candles disappear, the laundry piles up and the general sweet smell starts to disappear. Leaving behind the stale stench of chips and beer.

Case in point, let’s take my brother Jeff, the last time I went to his house he had a girlfriend and the place was remotely clean, sweet smelling and generally comfortable. Now there is literally a drum set in the living room, it smells musty, and his bed is a hodgepodge of non-matching sheets. Yuck.

I am going to get him a bed-in-a-bag comforter set for Christmas. It’s necessary at this point.

I haven’t  been feeling too well, I can’t seem to get any energy. I had so many things planned yesterday but the moment my bum hit the sofa, I ended up falling asleep. Yet it was not a restful sleep, I woke up repeatedly because I was cold. However I was too drained and lazy to go to my bedroom and grab a comforter. Pathetic right?

When I am out I occasionally see a comfortable looking throw for my sofa, however I tend to be very particular about such things. I want my throw to be warming and comfortable, yet aesthetically pleasing to the rest of my living room decorum.

I think I found the perfect solution for my dilemma. This beaded throw is an amazing way to add a pop of color to any home. It features gold-tone beading done by hand that will brighten up the look and feel of any space. It’s perfect for accenting a sofa, chair, table or the end of a bed. You can even hang it on the wall to display the beautiful beading. This throw also makes a wonderful gift!

Choose from three irresistible colors – rich plum, deep turquoise or creamy tan.

I personally like the turquoise shade best, it matches my stuff nicely.

Price $107.50
