Solved the dust ruffle problem. [View all]

[dixiegrrrrl]

I keep things in hard plastic containers under my bed, it;'s a good sotrage area.
But, since the bins are visible, I needed a dust ruffle.
Which are hellish expensive.
And difficult to put on and take off, it you use the one that covers the entire bottom mattress,
or difficult to keep on, it you use the one that you tuck all around under the top mattress.
The cat loves to nap under the bed, he likes the cave feeling of the dust ruffle.

My mattress is queen size.
I discovered that a KING size top sheet will hang down far enough to the floor to be used as a dust ruffle.
As long as I use a color that works, it looks exactly like a flat ruffle under the comforter.
AND discovered that these usually expensive sheets can be had for almost half price on ...ETSY.
Found 2 of them, in the original packaging, from the 1980's, for under 20.00 each.
ETSY is now my go-to place for linens,and also for "vintage" pyrex.
