Flag inspired sheets are a great way to express your appreciation for the fallen South. 

Here are a few more ways you can liven up the bedroom:

• A flag-inspired storage chest
• Old Confederate photos framed and hung on the wall
• A portrait of Robert E. Lee at the foot of your bed so the great General of the Confederacy can watch you as you sleep
• Grey and yellow-lined his and hers pajamas
• Flag patterned nightgowns 
• Confederate Drapes
• A wall-sized mural of your favorite scene
• A map of the Confederacy
• An old map documenting Civil War battles
• A graphical timeline starting with Southern initiation at Fort Sumter and ultimately ending with the fleeing of Jefferson Davis after the epic military failure at Richmond

Of course, there are many other ways to choose from. And ample flag inspired bedroom decor might just help you avoid an uncomfortable conversation with the young ladies of your bloodline. Let every one that walks into your domain know how you feel. Your opinions are really important for everyone to hear. 

It might help to get started by looking at all the available merchandise online.
