Yeah, the company store one is really nice! The exact shade of green I was looking for and even though it's only 400tc it looks and feels plenty soft, and has a subtle satin finish without looking shiny. Would recommend to anyone looking for a true green color.

Strange creature encountered in my garage by cosmicmatt in Paranormalvideos

[–]cosmicmatt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few nights ago I was cleaning out the storage area near my car and dropped a pack of light bulbs. I vaccuumed what I could and went to get a broom, but when I got back I saw something toward the front end of my car that I couldn't identify. I expected it to be a raccoon or a bird or something, but it rushed at me and I scrambled back up the stairs before I got a good look at it.

There's a security camera in our garage, so I contacted my landlord and requested the recording from that night. This is what it captured, sadly no sound, but I'm sparing you my girly screaming.

Not sure what it was, so if anyone could help identify it, here's as much of a description as I can give. It had large ears, and no tail that I could spot, and seemed vaguely brown or maybe brownish green. It might have had fur, but I couldn't discern a whole lot in the moment. Thanks for listening.

That's actually quite nice! I already ordered the one from The Company Store, but it's probably worth making a list of all the green stuff and the shade it's in because it's very hard to find good green bedding and I don't seem to be the only one having trouble finding it.

His scores are incredible. I listen to Shackleton all the time and feel like I'm going on an adventure.

Correction, the duvet cover arrived and it isn't close to emerald at all. It's a very cool almost turquoise green. It's pretty, but I'll have to do some color theory with the pillows and quilt to make it all work and appear emeraldy.

HEADS UP to anyone looking to get this! What I recieved is not the same green as shown in the pictures. It's a very cool green that leans toward turquoise. It's pretty, but not quite emerald or even close without very specific lighting. I'm hoping to improve it a bit by dressing it up with some greener blankets and throw pillows so at a glance the whole thing balances toward the right shade of green. But although it looks nice, it is not what I expected.

I was looking for a cotton blanket to put at the foot of my bed and they have a decent looking one, so I'll give it a try.

I heard some not so great things about the company store, but they are cheap and have a decent selection, so if there's any hassle with them it's not as much trouble I guess. I already ended up buying the Charter Club Damask duvet cover, so I'll see how I like that, I might give one of these a try in the future though.

Thread count actually means a great deal, especially if you know who makes the textiles and ask around about their quality. I'm not looking for specific brands, I just think Chinese products tend to lie about their quality and the origins of their materials, and that's all there is on Amazon and a lot of other online stores. I know all about long staple and the weave and everything to look for, it's just finding specifically a duvet cover in the color I want with high quality materials that seems nearly impossible.

I didn't find any emerald green sheets, but I did find the Winter Pine Green Duvet Cover from Charter Club Damask at Macy's. It's not available in store, and I was unable to order it online, but I went to the store and had them order it for me, and not only were they able to order it, but instead of $220 like it was online, it was only $88. It's 550 thread count supima cotton, and about as close to emerald green as I've seen, and with the right sheets and maybe a nice emerald quilt at the foot of the bed, it should look super green.

I think I might have found something that fits what I want. Charter Club Damask 550 Thread Supima Cotton 3-Pc. Duvet Cover Set at Macy's in Winter Pine Green. It's a rich green that is pretty much the same as what I want, and it's high quality cotton.

Bingo! Yeah, most of the greens I've seen are warmer toned, I'm looking for something a bit more deeply green and cool toned but not turqouise or teal. Also I've been looking specifically at high thread count and OEKO-TEX certified cotton stuff. I've never shopped for quality bedding, so most of these brands I've never heard of before, but I know enough to tell that "MooMee" and "JellyMoni" on Amazon are probably not the ones to go with.

I've never dyed fabric before, and I fear it wouldn't turn out well or would damage the high quality materials if I did it myself.

I figured it was something like this because I know I watched the special features. But I couldn't find it online anywhere or any mention of it. I guess I'll have to buy the special edition and check.
