I'm busy doing the closets. Beds are next.

We just use a light cotton quilt no matter what the season. I get so hot I turn the heat way down in the winter and the air, when we have to have it on, stays on 75. Have to have the ceiling fan going, too. Winter and summer.

Forgot to add, that I just stripped everything off the bed and washed it all (except the quilt which I'll tackle tomorrow). That's my idea of spring house cleaning, I guess :-)

I'm with Patti! No winter bedding needed here for me. I did wash and put away the afghans that are around the house in the cold months.

I have been spring cleaning the house when not working. For me that means washing the walls, turning the rugs around & taking all the drapes & curtains down & washing windows. I love tilt-in windows. Beds get new quilts & all the afghans get washed. Patti-I agree with you, summer in my house is 72 & winter 69 with the heat turned off in our bedroom.

I have been doing the same thing. Years ago I bought blankets from JCPenneys that are flannel on one side and a weave on the other. Flannel in the winter and weave in the summer. They were a little pricey but well worth the price. My hubby was telling me how hot it was at our other house. I asked him if he remmebered to flip the blanket over. He forgot..I told him remember there are 4 beds down there.. He grinned!!!! What would he do without me..

On Wednesday we never made it to the 40's during the day, and today we hit 81 for the high.

Frost, or almost frost at least once at night every week for the last 4 weeks or so.

No way will I put my warm blankie away yet. I'll just scoot it over to the side, and wait till a WHOLE week with no freezing temps passed by.

Moni

Might wanna re-think that! According to James Spann....it's suppose to freeze/frost next Friday night!!

I too, took my heavy winter comforter off and put my spring/autumn one on the bed today. It's still too cool for the summer blanket.

And it's just about time to put away my winter running tights and time to start wearing my shorter ones. maybe next week for that change. We run pretty early and it can still be cool.

I've been wanting to do the same in the past couple of months. But every time I'm changing the bedding for washing the weatherman predicted otherwise.

Weather keeps changing. The end of the week is supposed to go down in the 40's again at night. Just join in with the weather... being all confused : ]

Well we have had a few days of warmer weather, Snow still around, rain today, and maybe a bit of snow flurries/freezing rain tomorrow. Then temps going up--I think

I finally took flannel sheets off our bed yesterday and switched to the percale ones. The down comforter/duvet are still on the bed as is the winter blanket. I haven't washed winter jackets years, although I've begun washing hats and mittens. All the winter throws are still on the couches. Maybe by June it'll feel more like spring/summer?

I took the down comforter off my bed and put the spring blankets on. I would like to open the storm windows but it is supposed to be cooler in a few days.

It must be something in the air. I stripped the beds today and took off the heavier blankets. Washed the bedding too. Can't put the heavier blankets away, as there is still some snow in the woods. But spring is coming, I just know it!

we do about the same thing...dh takes cake if the master bed, since i can add or subtract to stay hot or cold...bet he'll go with all cotton spread, and " retire" quilt.. but we still have the HEAT on, lol...come may day unless it's still raining or ???, it's going off! we've had rain all day...

I love Matelasse, I have several coverlets and bedspreads in various colors and prints of Matelasse. I will add a light weight fleece blanket in the winter. I don't like a lot of covers, I generally am not under the covers much. I will have the cleaning lady take the blanket off this week. Might change to a new pretty summery print Matelasse I bought but have never used yet. I currently have my favorite one which is raspberry color on the bed. I find one of those with the sheets is just right, I prefer a very cool room. The ceiling fan is on high all year, plus I have a 10" fan that is aimed at my head on all the time, we have a good size metal antique style fan on a stand that I have on a fair amount of time. I must have lots of air movement on me, my Dad was the same way. I feel like I can't breathe if I don't. I really think that we could have gone with out the blanket this winter since it never got very cold.

Our weather is all over the place, too (MN). Warm the last few days but now headed back to the 40s. I find the changeover in bedding, clothes, etc. is a real ritual/production here and goes in stages. First to be cleaned and put away is my all-purpose down puffy coat and winter boots: a major step! Then change over the closets to summer clothes (but keep out a few sweaters/coats just in case), and progressively take off layers on the bed. Wool blanket changes to cotton. The heavy quilt will stay on for at least a few more weeks.

We live in a hundred plus year old house and there is no insulation (never looked, but I'm sure on this) in the ceiling of the downstairs (floor of the upstairs) and this results in our upstairs being VERY warm in the winter, no matter how low we keep the thermostat set for the downstairs. We put a window air conditioner in our bedroom window in the summer. As a result, it's cooler in our bedroom in the summer than it is in the winter. So we use the same bedding year round. That used to be a comforter on top of the sheets. Last winter, we purchased a light weight quilt to replace the comforter. Gary will add a blanket to his side once in a while at night, if he's feeling chilly. That usually happens more often in the spring or fall, when the air conditioner is out and the heat isn't on yet.

Just took off my heated mattress pad to store and all the bedding and bed will be cleaned and polished.
