How Much Will This Bedroom Cost?

Oct 31

You come home one day and say to your husband, “I think we should decorate our master bedroom. ” First the look of horror on his face, then his mind starts calculating, just how much will this cost? You say, “not too much, all we need is new furniture and drapery; I’m thinking about maybe some wallpaper, and we need to paint. Also, we need carpet and some accessories. Then you think we should get a new mattress. Since you always said you wanted a king-size bed, right? So then we need new bedding too.” Does this sound familiar?
