    Bedspread and matching drapes – $60

    Queen size bedspread $25. Two pair of matching drapes. $35 Full length with valance. One pair for double window and one pair for single window. Cash only please.

    There isn’t much wrong with the listing itself. I’m just stunned that the bedspread and matching full-length drapes also match the wallpaper. I mean, it’s a nice pattern and all, but haven’t these people ever heard of moderation in design? It looks like someone vomited an English country garden on every surface of the room.

    If I stayed in this room I think I would end up like the poor woman in The Yellow Wallpaper. But The Seafoam Green and Pink Wallpaper just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

    I understand what all of those words mean individually — well, almost all of them — but strung together like that, they make no sense at all.

    Framed Shrek print – $60

    I had this print framed at Michaels (I don’t know why I needed a Shrek picture) and it’s been sitting in its wrapping ever since. Never been hung up.

    Green metal frame with non-glare glass. Certificate of Authenticity on back.

    Photos taken with webcam in bright sunlight, so colors appear dull, but print is very colorful and sharp in person.

    So let me make sure I’ve got this right: you don’t know why you needed a Shrek picture, so you’re trying to sell it to someone else for $60?
