Martha Stewart Types... I Need Your Help and/or Advice [View All]

[arwalden]

I think I already know the answer to this question... but my answer differs from my partner's opinion on this subject. Also, two other friends of ours have split the vote.

QUESTION: When putting sheets on the bed with a print or any other embellishments, do you put the printed sides together---meaning that the top-sheet has the "unprinted" side face up? Or do you put both printed sides "up"---so that the unprinted side of the flat top-sheet is face down?

My feeling is that the prettiest (printed/embellished) side of the flat sheet should be face DOWN. So that after the bed is made and when you turn down the sheets, the bed looks its best.

My partner thinks the flat sheet should be treated like a bedspread, or like the fitted bottom sheet---that is to say: he believes ALL the pretty sides go up, and all the plain sides go down.

What say you?

P.S. I always put the open ends of the pillow cases toward the CENTER of the bed (facing each other) so that the visible edges of the pillows look nice and neat.

Too weird?
