Woo Hoo! The weekend is here! This weekend is going to be one of those that goes by fast because we are so darn busy. And come Sunday night, I will want to crash in my bed, complete with my new bedding! Ok, so some of you may remember we bought new bedding when we moved in. I had a gift card at the time and we bought the parachute duvet cover in white from West Elm. I still love it, but with Spring weather here, it has been HOT. We needed something that would carry us through Spring and Summer.
West Elm had sent me $25 design dollars I had to use by April 15. I sent Chris with the card since he was going to be near a store. I told him just to get us some pretty bowls. Well then that day they emailed me a 15% off my purchase, including sale prices, because they wanted me back so badly. And every time they come back to me I just can’t say no. So of course I emailed Chris and told him not to use the dollars, and immediately got online to choose something. I decided on the Hand Blocked Mosaic Quilt which was a more dramatic choice for me. I tend to go for plain bedding. I liked the inky blue and thought it would work well with my gold leafed nightstands. Anyhow, it arrived this past week and I put it on the bed and loved it. But I was afraid Chris would hate it! So I didn’t tell him it arrived and just waited for him to see it. And when he got home from work and went upstairs to give Sawyer his shower, he saw it. He came downstairs and specifically told me “I really love that new bedspread. I really love it”. I had to ask him if he was messing with me, but he wasn’t. So win-win. We both love it! Want to see it in action? I want to find some throw pillows, and the room is not done at all… but at least I have a good jumping point now. And whatever I do will still go with my plain white duvet when we put that back on in the Fall! The room still has yet to be painted, there will be a headboard soon, and the curtains and hardware will change… so don’t judge.
