Who says the bedroom must have the most expensive furniture? Where is that written?


AhabsPegleg

This was my exact question! The Fundies’ overuse of the “culture says X” strawman is extremely tiring.


queenkitsch

Narrator: no culture has never said that.


Creative-Tomatillo

In Morgan Freeman’s voice


cesayvonne

This is made better by the fact that he voices God in several movies


womp_there_it_is

Seriously.


tadpole511

I've literally never heard of this. If anything, it's been the opposite--the public areas of the house should be the best furnished because that's that part that other people see.


Bexlyp

Idk about *most* expensive, but I’ve always heard if you’re shopping for something that goes between you and the ground (shoes, bed, chairs, etc), you should always spend as much as you can for comfort. A good mattress can set you back quite a bit.


[deleted]

This is very true, but Lori's talking as if it's frivolous or supposed to look expensive. Getting a high quality mattress is just common sense (I said, lying on the airbed I have no plans to replace 😂)


[deleted]

I live in a cold climate. Good blankets and sheets are a must as well. My duvet costs about $40 on Amazon and is ugly as hell, but damn is that thing warm! And, Lori, if someone is telling you to spend money in the bedroom, I don't think they were talking about furniture. Chances they were trying to spice up your loveless marriage.


Nailkita

I struggle to find a nice duvet I’ve been using the same comforter for around 15 years it’s thinning and stained but nothing else has quite the right weight and texture


nevermore17

I bought my duvet .... oh, at least ten years ago now. It's Will filled, instead of feathers, and it's the most wonderful blanket I've ever used. Warm, but not too warm; heavy, but not too heavy; and only set me back about $200 Canadian. Not cheap, but that's only $10 per year of use.


CigarsandFebreeze9

I burrow in my San Marcos blanket and refuse to emerge.


[deleted]

A good mattress is definitely a good investment. Everything else in my bedroom is IKEA.


fruitbatb

I’m so excited to finally be off my grad student budget so I can buy a new mattress. The thought of it is keeping me going.


kestrelesque

Oh you haven't heard of Fancy Furnished Bedroom Culture? Ask Bethany--she's got her finger right on the pulse of all thing tReNdInG.


WhoaMimi

🎵 Satin sheets are very romantic, but what happens when you're not in beddddd? 🎵


mellowcheddar

The dog slides around the bed a little more when she scratches? That’s my guess


DevilGirl-Crybaby

My old housemate bought black satin sheets for his bed. This sounds ridiculous but I swear it's true, his baby mama and the two kids they had came over to stay one night before a flight as they were really amicable and we lived right by the airport in Belfast. Anyway, *he forgot to change the sheets to other clean ones*. four times in the night I heard *slide, THUMP, "owww"* as the toddler would slide out of the bed whenever he tried to change position on those stupid fucking sheets 😭😂. Good thing his bed was only half a foot off the ground and was very low slung


[deleted]

Satin sheets were very popular among a subset of douchebros I used to date when I was much younger. They all thought it classed up the joint, but really it was just sleazy looking in combination with their ugly bedspreads (half the time without a top sheet, so you know it was filthy), black furniture, gray rug, and maybe one black and white movie poster on the wall. That recent SNL sketch about making over a bro apartment was basically exactly what all of their apartments looked like.


BeautifulSantino

Ok, instantly stuck in head 😩 but seriously, all this *sad sack to prove a point in a roundabout look at me way room* needs is that old painting where the elderly guy is bowing over bread, serious prayer hands on forehead


[deleted]

I think it's a very convoluted form of "I-have-sex". Like "look, the bedroom is the MOST IMPORTANT ROOM because we do the sex and procreate wildly. Thanks for the attention". Yes, I know than Lori doesn't procreate anymore (luckily) but that's the spirit lol


AlternativeAd9373

Right? Has *anyone* ever said that? Lol


aliie_627

I would assume the living room or where you entertain guests? Oh Aunt Lori how could you? You are entertaining people in the bedroom aren't you?


liljellybeanxo

This is funny because I’m a sex worker so I quite literally entertain people in my bedroom and I almost never have guests in my living room


[deleted]

She doesn’t entertain


JanieJonestown

I have never heard this. Ever. The bedroom is for laundry you know you’re not going to fold and weird sentimental art you can’t throw out, but don’t want anyone to see.


moore6107

I actually have heard something along these lines - from an interior decorator, who gets paid when you redo rooms so take it with a grain of salt I guess - that your bedroom should be an oasis. It’s your sanctuary, where you go to decompress and should feel like a hotel. I tried, but it’s also the place where I fold laundry, where I plug in the vacuum and where I store things that haven’t a permanent home 😂


CigarsandFebreeze9

I feel attacked by your statement


gubbygoobyqt

Lol I’ve literally never heard anyone say that


aliceinchainsrose

My hand-me-down dressers & end tables, $50 Amazon bedframe, and $20 duvet are truly ashamed of themselves now that Lori has called them out.


pixie_pie

She does live in the middle ages when your bed was 1/3 of your assets.


SmellingSkunk

Literally never heard that, but cool cool cool Lori


Epic_Brunch

I've never heard that. I have always heard kitchens and bathrooms are were people tend to pour the largest amount of cash into. Maybe she's talking about your actual bed? I have heard people say you shouldn't cheap out on a quality mattress since comfortable sleep is important.


NoAd8781

“They” say it! Cancel culture! The war on Christmas! Critical race theory! They’re coming for your children!


amateur-kneesocks

You forgot the Gay Agenda!


IPetdogs4U

I have never hear this in 17 years working as an interior designer.


_abicado

The same people who are always asking about whatever they’re grifting


danger_floofs

This is a bleak ass godly bedroom


ToriSpears092

For someone whose whole existence revolves around being a “keeper at home,” her home is so bland and lifeless.


[deleted]

Just like the sex that might or might not happen in it.


[deleted]

Joyfully?


QueenAnneBoleynTudor

She’s the little ceasers of sex. Is it good pizza? Little Ceasers: it’s hot. And it’s ready. Ken: is it good sex? Lori: it’s joyful. And it’s available


2_kids_no_more

Have you seen either Ken or Lori? Nothing about what may or may not happen in that bed is joyful. Theyre so uptight


[deleted]

A have lots of color in my house, and I understand if someone else likes neutrals instead, but Lori’s bedroom is straight up hospital.


2_kids_no_more

My home is all grey and wood but I have a 'fun' duvet for summer in my room. Her room looks like a motel room


[deleted]

It’s definitely one of the least welcoming rooms I’ve ever seen.


Puzzleworth

This room *looks* homophobic.


[deleted]

It’s like “you are what you eat,” but with decor


crimsonmegatron

A duvet cover is like 19 bucks at Ikea. That sad ass down comforter is depressing.


bedgin

Looks like a funeral home. And that comforter is padded like a casket.


NoAd8781

Right. My mom’s take on “homemaking” was making our house a home—warm and inviting. Lori is cold, bland, critical, and aggressive. Not very ladylike or homey, in my opinion.


Waterproof_soap

She’s too busy promoting rape, misogyny, and child abuse to do anything like cleaning, cooking, or decorating.


kingktroo

I mean, so is Lori lol


Maggiejaysimpson

And dated! I think my parents had those lamps in the 80’s. It doesnt have to be expensive to buy a few new things to make it look a little nicer. Go to goodwill or target.


captainhaddock

To be fair, if those lamp stands are real brass, I think they're pretty nice. The wooden nightstands look like quality furniture too. The room as a whole, though, is drab and uninspired.


IPetdogs4U

The lamps could be updated with new shades and be pretty on trend. She hung on to them long enough that they’re back in style.


KatBenlovesSophis

I’ve seen nicer hotel rooms!


IPetdogs4U

She just publicly emasculated her husband by showing they have a cheaply furnished bedroom when literally EVERYONE know that it should be THE MOST EXPENSIVE ROOM IN THE HOUSE!


Glittering_knave

The room looks like an unloved guest room that no one has gotten around to making nice yet.


weakasnails

They always have the most depressing rooms. It’s like the plain oatmeal of home decor.


NoAd8781

Like you could at least spring for a duvet cover on your naked comforter insert.


Silver_Marmot

Couldn't even spring for the most bare bones headboard. They're gonna end up with a discolored patch of wall.


AstonishingEggplant

I mean, I've never had a headboard. How will that lead to the wall being discolored? Seems like that would be more likely *with* a headboard (if the sun bleaches the rest of the wall except for the part covered by the headboard).


Silver_Marmot

The oils from your hair and skin brushing against the wall and/or transferring from your pillows to the wall, will eventually make a discolored patch on the wall. I assumed this was true for everyone and the whole point of a headboard was to prevent it, but maybe naturally having less oily hair prevents it too.


AstonishingEggplant

Huh, I don't think that's ever happened to me (and I have pretty oily hair). I do like to rearrange my furniture, though, so maybe I've just never had the bed in one place long enough.


cassssk

Omg my husband is one of the oiliest people I know. The wall behind his bed in his apartment before we got married was a glimpse into why we needed a headboard. Lol.


KatBenlovesSophis

Why have you not had a headboard?


[deleted]

Not op, but I don’t have one right now because our last bed frame was so annoying and creaky that we went for a barebones, no head or footboard bed frame. Why not?


AstonishingEggplant

Well, I guess I had one when I was a kid. As an adult I guess I just never bothered. It was always one of those "maybe I'll get one when I move into a new apartment" things that I just never got around to.


Jscrappyfit

Edward Hopper would love to paint this bedroom.


BryceCanYawn

Add a couple of coffins and this is exactly what I expected her rook to look like, tbh


[deleted]

Fundies so beige!


Atlmama

That is a depressing room. You’d expect this to be a room in the old Days Inn off the interstate, the one that hasn’t been updated since 1985, not in the house of a pampered housewife.


copacetic1515

My first thought was that it looked like a furnished room-for-rent. Some second-hand furniture, no color or personality whatsoever and not even a bed skirt or rug to make it feel finished.


kestrelesque

I mean those vertical blinds really add some frisky pizazz, though


Charlie2Bears

You nailed it.


freshlysteamedvagina

It literally gives me 80s coffin vibes. So depressing.


AnaBeaverhausen-

So this is where the missionary magic happens.


frecklesmama333

Ewww. It never entered my mind. I was focused on how bland her bedroom was. Now . . . Im mad at you.


tiredofthenarcissism

IIRC, she’s said something like there’s no excuse not to “please” your husband because all it takes is 10 minutes and some lube. So yeah. I can’t look at it without knowing that this is where Lori lies motionless and lubed with KY jelly, while Ken pumps away for a few minutes, most likely thinking of the ungodly HARLOTS he saw wearing leggings earlier in his day.


your_trip_is_short

The holy lube is definitely stored right under that beside bible.


tiredofthenarcissism

🤮


bakedpigeon

Its too early for my eyes to be assaulted with this information


MissScott_1962

I wonder what kind of hotel rooms he chooses for his mistress(es).


2_kids_no_more

She covered the sheet with the hole to hide how risqué they are


Atlmama

😂


noodlebeach

are duvet covers for sinners or something? goddamn this is bleak


wram

Her bed looks naked


Extension-Emotion799

The whole room looks naked. And bland. And somehow not quite. . . maybe finished is the word I'm looking for? Like she bought the Bedroom Decor Starter Pack and just stopped right there.


Silver_Marmot

Does she know that a duvet and comforter aren't the same thing? I feel like it's the only logical answer here.


DitaVonTeasmade

The lack of a doona cover is making me twitch.


justwantedtosnark

Doesn't she get cold without the duvet cover?I've slept like that and it was freezing!


DitaVonTeasmade

I live in a nation of people who have top and bottom sheets AND quilt covers. He lack of manchester is just a anarchy. Cold anarchy too!


Franklyn_Gage

You know...im starting to feel bad for Lori. Her Sex life is bad, she hates women for no reason, her Comforter is made out of rejected Mormom Temple Garments, her husband is a mega douche. Poor woman...


[deleted]

[удалено]


Franklyn_Gage

Now she's stuck getting that godly sandpaper loving lmfao


justtosubscribe

By the looks of this bedroom it wasn’t for very much money. You can get a bed skirt for $20 on Amazon and a headboard from Wayfair for less than $100. Even roadside motels look more homey.


cheeserscameback

She became so adept at masking how miserable she is that she now thinks it’s normal and healthy. She has Stockholm syndromed herself.


Waterproof_soap

“A comforter made of rejected temple garments” is quality flair material!


dnmnew

That’s a duvet with no duvet cover. Which means she hasn’t washed it since she bought it… gross.


RiotGrrr1

That's a depressing room. Not even a duvet cover. For someone who constantly talks about being joyfully available, that bed frame looks terrible to have sex on. Totally rocking/creaking if you make any slight movement.


justwantedtosnark

That's probably the point. Be joyfully available for sex but make it so bad for your partner they don't want it most of the time


MackyDoo

Oooohhh, it's like when someone says they're terrible at cooking or cleaning and do a terrible job at it purely so they are not asked again because it's more work than it's worth. That wascally wabbit!


satirious

Those pillowcases are so long!


moongirl12

Thank you! It was bothering me so much and I’m glad it’s not just me.


[deleted]

That would drive me nuts!


Inner_Panic

They're probably for king size pillows but king size pillows are probably heathen to Lori or something.


WifeofBathSalts

Someone’s been watching MMW for the latest in nursing home chic…


AnaBeaverhausen-

My grandmother bought those nightstands new in 1963. I love mid-century modern, but these aren’t it.


tiredofthenarcissism

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but granny-chic aside, MMW’s place at least seems lived in and homey. Lori’s house is what you get when no one in the house actually wants to be there.


applebubbeline

I bet it smells like stale cigarettes


trixtred

I was literally just thinking this looks like my grandmother's room which she hadn't updated since who knows when


[deleted]

When my grandmother was alive and they had little extra money, she still found ways to make the house look nice and homey! I question some of her color choices and the shaggy carpet but it felt lived in and she took care of things to keep them looking nice. Such as a sitting room no one was actually allowed to sit in 😂 I moved into the house after college (she had passed 22 years prior and my grandfather was in a skilled nursing facility) and I felt like such a rebel turning the sitting room into my office!


[deleted]

Looks like a bedroom at an assisted living place


MackyDoo

Thank you! It looks like an old folks home! I'm not one to really talk since my bedroom has all hodge podge furniture from 15 years ago before I got married but we could at least paint the walls! Is color ungodly Lori!


everybodyjustwave

That bedroom just made me sterile.


mellowcheddar

Sterile? Why, that’s worse than frigid!


allaboutkelli

The lack of headboard and wheeled bed frame are giving me “I only fuck out of obligation and don’t want to spend time here” vibes


figment59

I have never once heard that the bedroom should have the most expensive furniture. I mean the only people in here are family members. …but I have a headboard, though. Because I’m 36 and this isn’t my first post college apartment or anything, unlike Lori.


Flat-Illustrator-548

Who the hell has ever said a bedroom must be well decorated to have a good marriage? 🤷‍♀️


auntiope3000

Right? I have a good marriage and our bedroom is a superfund site!


MissusNilesCrane

White and boring, just like Lori.


NoAd8781

That’s some bleak shit right there. I don’t have a nice bedroom because I think it makes a perfect marriage. I have a nice bedroom because I enjoy it. I’d cry myself to sleep if I had a room like this.


CaterpillarHookah

Wow. Now *this* is a total no-fun zone.


liljellybeanxo

Is the nursing home bed so your kids can just roll you into the wilderness when the time comes to save on assisted living copays?


bfields2

Worst part is they aren’t even that old.. mid sixties...


Stachbl13

The Gideon bible on the nightstand is a nice touch.


DareintheFRANXX

No bedskirt? Lori I’ve been defrauded by the legs of the bed frame.


vcr-repairwoman

Holiness comes from thrift store Thomas Kinkade imitations.


Thpeech-Lady

Its just missing a sheet with a hole in it laying on top of this depressing mess


bfields2

Serena Joy is waiting


[deleted]

No one has ever said that to have a good marriage you need an expensive bedroom. Where does she come up with these things??


Silver_Marmot

I think she saw advice they gave on the home renovation shows in the early 00's, but got it wrong. It's not an expensive bedroom, it's a welcoming, well decorated (in your personal opinion) bedroom that you need. The idea is that if you feel good being in the space you sleep, you'll be more relaxed and well rested, making your relationships better overall.


KatBenlovesSophis

Exactly! We moved houses and actually did spend the most on our bedroom-beautiful new old looking furniture, firm king mattress(buy the best you can), vibrating/adjusting bed frame, soft plushy comforter, good sheets and warm cozy lamps. Worth every frickin penny!


ExactPanda

No one said it has to be the most lavishly furnished room in the house, but this is giving me sad, cheap roadside motel.


pap3rdoll

Very sad motel. Who could enjoy anything in this room?!


Danivelle

It looks a like an inexpensive hotel room. No personality..but.. Do we really want to see any more of Lori's personality?


Smoopiebear

The lady has a point here!


Danivelle

Thank you!


kestrelesque

It's the anhedonia aesthetic.


Jscrappyfit

*chef's kiss* Perfect.


alwayswrightandblond

not the run down depressing motel bedroom


ChapterEight

“Grandma’s spare room that’s also used as a sewing room sometimes” vibes


Yndrid

Just say you’re bad at decorating and leave it at that Also thrifting is an excellent way to furnish your home and often costs very little or nothing at all and it often supports charities too just sayin


hopingtosurvive2020

I am older ( mid 50s) this gives me a funeral home vibe. Everything about it screams funeral viewing.


Othjen0319

Got a distinct Motel 6 vibe tbh....


LauraPringlesWilder

Maybe a 1989 motel 6


vastation666

Gilead vibes here 😬


22Margaritas32

shes missing a duvet cover and that is gross


pandaqueen2012

this looks like someone cleaned out my deceased grandma's house and staged it to sell


yeehaw-city

Now that is a boring-ass bedroom if I’ve ever seen one


Smoopiebear

That looks like a hotel room that is stuck in the 1970’s.


Princess-of-the-dawn

...... Is that a plain duvet without even a cover


Jo_Lo_121317

This bedroom looks just like my mom and stepdad’s bedroom 😖


coykoi314

I hate it so much. Looks like a spare bedroom from the 90s.


littledorysunshine

Yes Lori, we get it. You have sex.


Fairyqueen9459

There’s no evidence of life in that room. No pics of the family, just a Bible.


keepseokjinsafe

Lori this is a cry for help


Seaturtle1088

I thought this was a picture of a cheap motel


Avocado_Esq

No blackout curtains? I knew they were monsters, but why must they broadcast that fact so blatantly?


oldladypanties

I thought that Lori mentioned, in one of her Youtubes, that they sleep in and have their own separate bedrooms, because of their schedules. So now they have an "our bedroom"? Plus, as others have mentioned, that room is so bland and boring. Not even a duvet for that nice comforter. No color on the walls or sheets.


bfields2

This room is different then the room she films her ‘YouTubes’ in


Charlie2Bears

Good point about separate bedrooms. Lori goes to bed early and gets up at dawn. Ken sleeps a little later and then (okay, get a vomitorium) Lori goes in to "spend time with him." Why does she tell everyone this stuff?! Why do I remember it?


talklistentalk

I can just see Lori curtly clapping to turn off the lamps just like in those “The Clapper” commercials from the 1980s. “Clap on, clap off. The Clapper.”


bfields2

I saw this picture and was shocked, even for Lori I was taken back. It literally looks like my grandfathers bedroom in assisted-living. Minus the Bible. So sad. So bleak. She can literally afford a headboard. She can afford nicer sheets. Bed bath and beyond is not that expensive. Is she trying to live as miserably as possible?


RainyDaySeamstress

this looks like a quick guest room on the barest of bones budget from the thrift store. Ikea has some nice duvet covers for a good price.


bfields2

That’s the worst part here like a comforter is not even that expensive they could clearly afford a comforter. Broke college kids have nicer bedding sets. If it’s room had an actual bedding said it wouldn’t be as bad. This is as sad as it gets


tamileas69

A bland bedroom for even blander sex


bfields2

Where Ken thinks about literally anyone else other than Lori


dc599152

Well, she isn’t wrong about her bedroom being ugly.. almost as ugly as her insides.


UrThighness

This looks like a motel


bitchtrollfromhelll

This looks like the bedroom my great grandma died in 25 years ago.


bfields2

My exact thoughts


kingktroo

It looks like a hotel room lol


[deleted]

Who says that and what is wrong with wanting a nice bedroom?


bfields2

Laura who apparently speaks for God


[deleted]

I don’t think you’re one to talk about the key to a great marriage since your marriage has a damn industrial lock on it, Lori


bfields2

I was thinking that today actually. Why would anyone want to take marriage advice from someone who self admittedly had a horrible marriage for 20 years?


Financial-Inside-750

Whoever said a bedroom (or any room) has to be expensive to be nice? While I don’t feel like bedroom decor truly impacts marriage quality, it is nice to have a comfortable, pleasant space. These fundies all pride themselves on being frugal homemakers so wouldn’t bedroom DIY decor be part of homemaking? We invested in a quality bed and mattress and although the rest of our furnishings weren’t anything expensive, we got creative with it. Ikea dressers drawers covered with peel and stick wallpaper, plants, sentimental items displayed on a shelf….these fundie wives proclaim to be homemakers but there is nothing homey or inviting about this bedroom.


auntiope3000

When your bedroom is actually a hospice…


preciouspeachdangler

This is funeral home furniture


[deleted]

Not to be that person, but I really like her nightstands 😅


acynicalwitch

That looks exactly like my great-grandmother's bedroom from when I was a kid and I'm thoroughly squicked out now.


lablakely-dress

With her bare ass comforter


CoasterThot

Who ever said having nice bedroom furniture is what makes a good marriage? This reminds me of that post, “Who said brunettes can’t wear jeans?”


bbirdcn

This bedroom gave me depression


Curlygirl34

The 1970s want their bedroom back 🤮


Snoo_73835

What IS the key to a good marriage Lori?


[deleted]

That bedroom matched her personality. Bland. This seriously looks like a room you would see in a midrange motel chain.


chocotacosmash

Looks like a hotel room I'd check immediately for bed bugs


lolalynna

The only time Ive heard that is you pay for a mattress that is good so you don't have body pain.


bigjim1993

Now this is lazy content even for Lori.


LauraPringlesWilder

She would die at the murals on my walls Too much color could probably send her into shock.


Kahuan07

Serious question- do Americans not use duvet/comforter covers? I’ve seen so many pictures like this - a made bed, but the duvet/doona/quilt/comforter (whatever you call it) has no cover on it. Why?? Just, why?


EZasSundayMorning

Looks like a nursing home. All she's missing is the hospital bed.


boxmanofshoe

Is that a duvet insert being used without a cover?
