I’ll never know why, but bedding requires the most commitment for me. I could switch out my dining room table quarterly, but finding any bedding that I am confident in my commitment to is a challenge. It is either too feminine, complicated, or “matchy-matchy.” Case in point: I’ve had the euro shams (DwellStudio) and the duvet on our bed for over a year. I’ve wanted to add and finish the look, but struggled to find the right pillows. Alas, my husband complained about the number of pillows on our couches and the neurons began to fire. Instead of the closet, the tiger print (a perennial favorite of mine; bought this fabric years ago to make these pillows–its a cheap knockoff of the not-so-cheap Scalamandre classic) moved upstairs. They provide a nod to the golden yellow trim on the euros, with the right amount of discord. Good reminder:
- Check what’s already in stock (in your home) before you head to the store; and
- Let the aesthetic develop over time, the finished product will be more layered and natural.
