bedding-ideas-duvetsIt’s time to pack up your winter bedding and pull out your lightweight set—but you hesitate. Last year’s quilt doesn’t look as inviting anymore (especially with those storage-induced wrinkles). You think, before I swaddle myself in this cotton raisin, maybe I’ll just do a bit of virtual window shopping. You stumble upon BlissLivingHome.com and see a bright blooming chrysanthemum on a lightweight cotton duvet and immediately forget about that crinkled heap on your floor. The credit card starts to creep out of your wallet and before you know it—you have bedding you don’t need, but find you are so much happier. Retail therapy, its a beautiful thing.

Ashley Citron Duvet, $275 (that’s not too bad, right?)

GuestBedding.jpgWhen I went home last night, I immediately set up my new bedding in the guest bedroom (the constant Christmas interplay between my old green duvet and current red wallpaper was driving me crazy!). This white duvet with just a hint of color around the edges and the prim and proper stripe is the balance I’ve been looking for my sprawling magnolia paper.

GarnetHill-SanibelEyeletPer.jpg

Eyelet usually reminds me of little girls in summer dresses, but this new Hable Construction bedding is all grown-up and much more modern. The cut-out circles seem to float across the cotton hems like little soap bubbles. It’s got a delicate look but, don’t worry, it’s tough enough for the wash.

Hable Sanibel Eyelet Percale, cases, $35-45; sheet set, $85-145; comforter cover, $115-145; sham, $32-44: GarnetHill.com

The great detail on these sheets warrants a closeup.
