In the New York apartment, we had no dust ruffle on the bed. I've never liked bedskirts, but Mimi my decorator, assured me that she could make one that wasn't too girly, and that wouldn't look like it came out of a "bed in a box". Well after 6 months of waiting on the trim to come from Old World Weavers, it's finally done. I am a convert. The fabric is a truly inexpensive Hinson union cloth ($6 a yard), like felt, and the combination of the rough fabric with the frankly fancy trim, just tickles me. I wish I could take credit, but it goes to Mimi. Am I the first decorating editor to realize that hiring a decorator makes sense? It's actually been cheaper than if I'd done it myself.
