I have high hopes for our new bedroom. Right now it is purely functional but what I really want is an oasis of calm that's soft, beachy, and not too frilly.
I sprung for these sheets from Macy's. The price was pretty shocking to me, but then I've always purchased sheets from Walmart and Target and never anything with more than a 200 thread count. These puppies were waaaaay more than that and totally worth it.
The first ones were a 700 thread count cotton and polyester blend. I was skeptical of polyester in sheets and the slick feel was a little strange at first but these sheets are pretty damn awesome. They even kept us nice and cool and non-sweaty on some pretty humid nights. I picked the clover color. It's a nice putty greenish color than can look tan or green depending on how you look at it.
These were so great that I just had to go back for more. This time, I got the 800 thread count 100% cotton ones in Burnished. I love this sandy shade and it's in keeping with my ultimate goal-a nice beachy look in our bedroom.
Wes and I plan to eventually build ourselves a bed frame . . . we really like this one from Pottery Barn but there's no way in hell we'd ever pay
that for it.
I also have a strange and intense desire to make a ruffled duvet cover for our comforter like this one from Anthropologie (called Rivulet) in either all white or a color palette of white and cream hues. Look at all that gorgeous texture!
