We live in an apartment with white walls that we can't paint, and to begin with, all of our bedding was white. Being a color person, this was bad. SO, before I went crazy living in our little psych ward, something had to be done about the bed. pictured above is my inexpensive alternative to the duvet I wanted from Pottery Barn. The idea was my mother's, and the commission was by my husband (even though he said I could still order from PB). He thought it would be a good project for me to work on, and he was right. I had so much fun putting the pieces together. If you asked me where I got my bedding though my answer would be something like 'Bed Bath & Beyond, Macy's, Kohls, Jo-ann Fabrics, Elder Beerman, left-over wedding supplies, the living room, the closet, etc'. By creating and building my own coverings and pillows on the base of a solid duvet I found on clearance, I was able to save at least half the cost of the Pottery Barn Beauty. A nice mattress set was what we agreed on as a wedding gift to ourselves, and a nice mattress needs to be trimmed beautifully (and what's a pretty bed without a canopy?). So now when I look at our bed, I feel like we're a prince and princess living our happily ever after. I feel as if I've been resourceful.
