CRS 231 How has the housing crisis affected home fashion retail?

During the holidays there is much need for home fashions. Because families are having their relatives stay over for Thanksgiving and Christmas, they are in need of sheets, towels, pillows, and other bedding supplies. However, places like Bed Bath and Beyond, and Lenon's And Things are having to discount their supplies because the market is so bad. Houses are also not selling for as much due to the market. Because relatives are staying over the house needs to look nice and the bedding supplies needs to match according to color and feel. Having a colorful and comfortable environment and setting to stay in makes all the difference.
