No need to feel blue.  The stimulus package is near passage.  Bargains abound; would you believe you can update your bedroom and spend less than $120?  Throw in a can of paint (try Sherwin Williams Upward SW6239) and you can begin to rest easy, whatever the economic future holds.

Begin to create this blue-ribbon bedroom by picking up the Chowpatty Print Limited Edition Print from CB2.  It would be great over the bed, with or without a headboard. Get it fast.  It is only $49.95 from $179.

Throw on the Plaza Bedding from Crate & Barrel in Azure, now $39.95 from $139.

Late night reading requires light, so you had better grab the Metro Flared Mini Pendant from Bellacore.  Only $17.95 from $50.

You have enough saved to buy a throw pillow or two.   The Indigo Stripe Pillow from Crate & Barrel is a measly $4.95.  It was still cute at 26.95.
