The matlasse spread has a generous overhang.I love the weight of the matlasse and the feel of the linen duvet cover. I’ve had some scratchy sheets in my day, but these sheets are smooth and crisp. It was like Christmas when the box arrived (and it arrived the same day the bed frame was delivered. I picked out the Pleated Linen White Duvet, matching Shams, White Petit Trellis Matlasse, and Classic Hemstitched White Sheets.
If I’m going to get nice bedding, I want it to work with my ever-changing decor for years. White to me is timeless, crisp, clean, traditional, beautiful…all of those things in one. I was very excited to work with them and the timing was perfect. I had heard of them through Dash & Albert and I got to see their beautiful bedding first hand at Shades of Amber when I was in Colorado for a workshop and book signing. I came to the conclusion that I needed to stick with my vintage spread and be patient until I had the opportunity to get some nice bedding. I’m sure there’s some good bargain bedding out there, but I haven’t come across it. Another matlasse spread shrunk up so it didn’t even hang over the mattress, much less the box spring. One duvet cover got all pilly after one wash. Too much information?Īnyway, I’ve bought some bargain bedding with my birthday money or Christmas money here and there and it always fell short. This friction over a couple of years makes holes in the sheets right under my feet! Seriously. I rub my feet together when I sleep…like a cricket. I have to replace those bargain sheets pretty regularly, because I have an odd habit. My bedding for the last few years has been a vintage white bedspread (which I love, but it was getting some pulls and frays in it) and some bargain sheets. I have been looking for bedding for a long time. Just an FYI.)Īnyway, the frame and mattress were amazing and then I had the opportunity to partner with Pine Cone Hill and try out some of their beautiful, super comfy bedding. Everything else has been purchased secondhand. (Before you think I’m getting all fancy with a new bed frame, let me tell you that I have only bought two brand new pieces of large furniture in the past eight years – our family room sofa and now this bed.
We had a metal frame and slouchy, cheap queen mattress for about 10 years, so it was overdue. In January, we bought the new bed frame, which was my dream bed and I caught it on clearance, and a new mattress. I used to giggle when I slid into freshly washed sheets as a kid, but that’s about the strongest feeling I’ve had about a bed…until now. I don’t know if I’ve ever had a bed I loved. I love how my bedroom looks, but more than that, I LOVE my bed.
