Master Bedroom Bedding

Slowly but surely we are making some new changes to our master bedroom. While it is sometimes that last room people get around to designing, I think it is one of the most important spaces to pay attention to. Our lives can be so hectic and stress filled so it’s really a space that should offer a relaxed and calm vibe. I often think of hotels I like to stay in and draw upon those for inspiration. I am a big lover of fresh white bedding. The crisp white pintuck duvet is from Crane & Canopy and I am crazy about it. I have always loved the look and was thrilled to finally have it in our own room. If you are not familiar with Crane & Canopy, they are a favorite of mine for high-quality and beautifully designed bedding, duvets and sheet sets. The walls are painted “Smoke” by Benjamin Moore and our headboard was a DIY project of sorts which you can see here. The light and fluffy feel of the duvet makes it seem like we are climbing into a bed of clouds. I often get asked about the numbers on our wall. That was one of the very first posts I did when I first began blogging! The numbers represent the dates of my children’s birthdays. The bench at the end of the bed was a HomeGoods find. The subtle stripes on the wall were created by painting the same paint color but in two different finishes. The Euro shams {gray and white} and large wall mirror are from Z Gallerie. The soft pink pillow was also a HomeGoods find. I am lucky to have a hubby that is perfectly secure with a little pink! ,,, One of the things I love most about this room is that it gets flooded with natural light. It is my very favorite spot in the morning. I have to admit it’s a tad hard to get out of this bed now. The luxurious 400 thread count makes sleeping in this pretty duvet a dream. Crane & Canopy invited me to share some tips on creating a guest ready space. I often draw upon my past experiences as a guest.  I will never forget how our family friend, Mrs. Kinney, made her guests feel. I also remember staying with my dear friend, Tina and how she went out of her way to make us feel welcomed and loved. Here are my top tips:

• place fresh flowers by the bedside
• include a little treat for the late night sweet tooth
• consider leaving a journal and pen for guests to make plans or write about their travels
• magazines and water are always an easy thing to make accessible
• a small gift . . . nothing too extravagant. . . makes a guest feel welcome & loved
