This is our bedroom. We bought this comforter set after we'd been married for 12 years (almost 3 years ago). I told my husband I was buying a new comforter, this was the first new-new one we'd had our entire marraige, of course he didn't object at all. I had numerous "new" ones, every time my sister redecorated her room, I got a new one. This was one that both of us liked equally--so it was worth the $$ we spent on it.
