CSN Stores Review


Well, you may remember me doing a teaser post a few weeks back about CSN stores (see it here) and today I'd like to share something awesome with you that I received from them to review!

My oldest son, Gavin, is almost 11 1/2 and will be going into middle school this year. We decided that it was time to move him into his own room and move our youngest in with our middle son. I was trying to come up with a cool theme to use for his room and then it struck me... guitars! He plays the guitar and has an acoustic and an electric. He LOVES guitars, so using them as the theme for his room seemed like a no-brainer. In looking for items to decorate his room with, I knew I wanted a cool guitar bedding set. Well, most of them were crazy expensive or had skulls or other things on them that we don't exactly like and I was pretty much getting discouraged about it all. Then, something cool happened...

I was contacted by CSN stores to do a product review and was wondering how I was possibly going to choose something from their over 200 stores and then it hit me! I decided to look at their BeddingSets.com store and ended up finding the coolest guitar bedding set, the In Style Rock On Twin Piece Bed Set! They were happy to allow me to review it and I received it very quickly. Well, that was the easy part. The hard part was all the work I had to do to get the room ready. I spent an entire 3 days painting, cleaning the carpet and getting the room put together and when we put the bedding set on, it was absolutely perfect. In fact, we decided to base the colors of the room on colors that are in the bedspread. We chose a cool gray color, called Wet Cement, for three of the walls and a bright orange, called Jack 'O Lantern, for the accent wall. Super cool. A really cool thing about the bedding set too is that the sheets and pillowcase are less "themed" so that if Gavin ever decides he wants to get rid of the guitar theme, he can just get a new bedspread and keep the same sheets. That makes them an even better bargain to me. The bedding set is also constructed very nicely, so it should last a long time. It's just cool, what can I say?! See for yourself!

Here is the room BEFORE, when it was my youngest son's room...




Here is the room AFTER, with the cool new walls, bedding set, rug (which is also from CSN stores) and a little wall decor. (We'll be adding more decoration to the room over time)...










I am very happy with the bedding set from CSN stores and feel very fortunate to have had the chance to review such a great product. I highly recommend them because between their over 200 stores, they offer pretty much anything and everything you could think of. So get over there and check it out for yourself!


Disclosure: I received these products for free for review purposes. My opinions expressed in this review were honest and genuine and I was in no way persuaded by the company involved.

Danielle Gavin's room looks GREAT!
Love it, and from the look on that boy's face he loves it too!
