Guys!! If you remember, we don’t actually have a master bedroom in the Merc. We’re crashing in Brem’s room until we get Phase 2 done. While the Merc is FAR from being decorated, the lastest sleeping situation makes me a little itchy. I would love to build a headboard and do it all up right, but I obviously should wait until we’re actually in our real life room right!? (insert nods of validation here)
So I slowly add things to make it feel like an actual bedroom and not a room basement bedroom that gets all of the crummy leftovers. I just updated my bedding and want to tell you alllll about it!
I LOVE white bedding. It’s like the best form of basic. Everything looks amazing with it, it’s the equivalent of a giant fluffy cloud from heaven, and you can always tell if it’s clean. Do you know where my favorite place to get white bedding is? HOME DEPOT. I know you’re shocked. Pick your jaw up off the floor and let’s talk about it.
Actually first, let’s have a vague flashback from my childhood. When I eat I love to read. Boxes, junk mail, the newspaper, anything. At some point during my childhood, I very distinctly remember my mom receiving The Company Store catalog. I loved looking at all of the bedding and all of the happy sleepers inside their advertising paid off because from the age of 9 I hav had imprinted in my subconscious that The Company Store bedding is the best bedding in all the land. Ok now that I’ve established that, let’s talk about Home Depot.
How much time have you spent diving into the treasure trove that is homedepot.com? YOU GUYS. They have everything, including bedding from The Company Store. Holy flashback.
Let’s start with the sheets, I am digging the 300 Count Percale Sheet Set. I will be the first to admit that I’m not a sheet expert, but the first thing that I noticed is how much more opaque they were than the cheapie ones I usually end up with.
Do you know the ultimate sheet life hack?
After your sheets are washed (and still wet!) you put them on your bed (dont tuck in the flat sheet, just let it hang out until it’s dry!) It leaves them so crisp and wrinkle-free! Try it next time you wash them, guaranteed you don’t go back! I can’t wait to try their wrinkle-free sateen option! Are you a sheet connoisseur? Share all of your advice below!!
Court and I both love down pillows, but do you know what I hate about down pillows?! Getting stabbed in the cheek with a feather. The Company Store has a line called LoftAIRE that is a synthetic down alternative that has the same loft and warmth, sans the impaling . They are absolutely heavenly! You’d never know they weren’t real down!
When I’m making a bed esthetically I prefer both a comforter and a quilt. And coincidentally using both is best for my marriage. See I’m a snuggler and Court is not, in fact skin to skin contact during sleep is like THE WORST THING YOU COULD INFLICT UPON HIM. It makes him ragey. So we split the blankets up and it’s the best of both worlds. I take the fluffy down comforter and Court takes the quilt. That way I can wrap my leg around something and wont risk getting a toenail to the shin as a reminder to stay on my side of the bed. The Company Store has a great quilt options my favorite is their signature quilt. It is perfect for any decor style!!
As I was digging through all of the comforter options (there are so many!!) I fell in love with their Lacrosse line. It’s made for people like me who love white bedding, but also have a 2 yr old that sleeps in the bed and dogs that love to jump on it and take naps in the sun. Everything in the Lacrosse line is machine washable!! Hello lofty down comforter that doesn’t have to be dry cleaned!! And it’s made with the same LoftAIRE Down Alternative as the pillows.
Because we’re living our best life without a headboard, I love using Euro Pillows to add some visual height to the head of the bed. Euro Pillows usually measure 26 inches and peek out just enough above the tops of your regular pillows. They are a great way to add some extra texture as well, the shams that I use are the same material as the quilt.
Home depot has so many other great options. I love this gossamer throw (it’s thicker than you think we used one in Ivie’s room!) If you’re into real down, check out their Alberta line of comforters!
It’s so weird how using new bedding suddenly makes this room feel like a bedroom and not a room with a bed in it.
