Piece Description
Sure you've looked at all those stacks of gorgeous 400 thread count sheets in a catalogue and wished you could afford them, but have you ever wondered who ironed up those sheets and folded them so that they look absolutely perfect? Because this is an actual job--there's a bed 'stylist'--someone who gets paid just to make all the beds in a catalogue look beautiful. And there are reasons why those beds look so much better than when you make your bed at home! When she's not producing radio, Sue Mell works as a freelance Bed Stylist and in this sound rich piece she takes us through some of the steps it takes to make a perfect bed.
