When we registered before we married, I discovered my husband was very, very
Several months ago I took off the cover and sent it to the dry cleaners. Having spent a few months in Europe, it suddenly occurred to me- why use the cover at all???
So this is how I left it for months. I liked the duvet- but the rest of it did not go and was rather sad and incomplete looking. Then I read Small Treasure's post and felt inspired. So as of Wednesday, THIS is our new look!!!!
-New Euro pillows and shams (navy- they kind of blend in with the bed in the picture)
-new regular shams- white
-new pillows for us
-throw pillows
What do you think? I'm not naturally a style kind of girl- so I'm looking for affirmation here. :) If you think it's hideous...let me down easy. Or lie. :) And make suggestions!

I think it looks really clean and finished- nice work, L! Our room needs a re-do, too.
Love the pillows! You did a great job- it looks like a bed out of a Pottery Barn catalog.
Looks great!
Love it! What a nice change. Now I feel like my bedroom needs a redo.
Affirmation affirmed! Ha! I LOVE white. I only buy white sheets and towels...then I don't have to worry about my all-time favorite cleaning product, aka, bleach, ruining them! Good bedding is a good thang! Enjoy!
Love it! Our room didn't feel finished until I added pillows to the bed, too. Great job, Laur'n-- so summery and fresh!
Very cute-I've been wanting to do Big pillows and a blanket at the bottom for a while now.
Love the room! Very modern and simple, which is totally my style!
I posted Ch 7 of Isabella's adoptoin story on my blog...and I also added a few more important details to some previous chapters. I would love to hear your comments.
In Christ,

It looks wonderful! You did a fantastic job. What gorgeous bones to work with too...great windows and a beautiful hardwood floor! (I love your crucifix too..besides the modern art I have to finish my husband and I have been antique-browsing for a beautiful crucifix.) As for suggestions, a seagrass area rug would look gorgeous on your floor. They're inexpensive and easy to care for. You could always try one out from PB or Restoration Hardware and see if you like it, return if you don't.
I think it's lovely! Very serene and classic, and reminds me of you. I love the seagrass rug suggestion, or maybe even a white (or navy?) bedskirt to finish out that spot at the bottom? (Or maybe it's there and I can't see it.)
I have this in yellow and white on backorder right now to redo our bedroom (that was never really "done" to begin with). We're moving from black and white to yellow! Can't wait!
(ummm...what's a seagrass rug? Is that a color or material?)
Also- I struggle with rugs. I NEED them for the noise- and think they're beautiful- but they cover up my beautiful floor! What's the balance here?
Jennifer- LOVE that spread you've ordered!!! In fact- I might get the green/blue for the guest bedroom- which also needs some work. I want to get something that will coordinate with Annie's quilt. :)
Lauren, love it! The true blue and white is very classic.
Oh my gosh, can I move in???? Wow, I love it!!
My dh and I finally bought a new bedding set and we are anxiously awaiting it. I don't think it will look nearly as stylish as yours, though!!!
Love it! It looks awesome! :)
It looks great! I love it and how great that it was so simple!
I really like it and am thinking I need to know where you found the throw pillows!
Bed, Bath and Beyond, baby! Love those 20% off coupons! (I used 10 that day!)
I love it. I love the whole look. I want this room! So perfect. I love Navy. And, those curtains. Well the new look make them look even more awesome. You did a great job! Serene, elegant, and inviting, so like you! Can't wait to see your future work! You could do this professionally!! Now, I want to fix my bed! Thanks for inspiring me.
Love it! SO pretty and calm looking. And um I know what you mean about not aggreeing with your on bedding haha.
Fiance and I just made our first attempt at registering tonight. Ummm, yeah...
BEAUTIFUL! I know what you mean, I don't always have the decoration eyes myself. I think the room looks great! You have a real home there!
I love this! I love personally love white bedding, towels, rugs slipcovers, everything. They are actually easier to clean because you can just bleach them and they look like new. Love those tie-up shades too! The whole thing looks classy!
I'm late, but I love it! Can you clean the duvet when it gets dirty?
I have the same problem with rugs and hardwoods. I never know the right balance.
Thanks everyone!!! I'm grinning at your feedback!
Ann- YES! You can wash it- though it'd be easier with an extra large washer. It takes forever to dry- but you can wash it! And thanks for understanding my dilimma with rugs! :)
Your room looks great!!! I love the white and blue colour scheme!!!
Will you come do my bedroom? I don't want to spend money either! but it needs help!
I think the room looks pretty and restful. You did an excellent job keeping it simple and elegant.
I love it. We have a down comforter/duvet thing that also gets bunchy despite my use of these clip thingies that go inside at the corners of the comforter to hold them in place in the duvet.
We have used the comforter on its own at times as well. The only concern I have with that for you is...in light of your post today...with no cover on it, that comforter WILL get baby poop, baby spit up, baby pee, baby barf, etc on it. And then you're looking at dry cleaning if it's not easily washable at home.
Absolutely beautiful! Really do love it! We have had the same issues with our duvet but my precious German husband won't have it any other way...so I'm still trying to decide what to do with ours. Does this new cover stay on your duvet without sliding and bunching or is it a comforter? By the way, I love the white! Very clean and European. :)
