It’s taken me several years to get to the point that I feel like I have a good system for how I put together bedding to give a bed some personality. In the past, I just used a sheet set, a duvet or comforter, a couple of pillow shams and a throw pillow. Then, I met Sarah from The Yellow Cape Cod at Haven Conference.
Sarah taught a class about styling a room, and I immediately fell in love with the way she put together a bed. When I returned home from the conference, I found the blog post she had referenced in her session. It gave the step by step layers for how she put together her perfect bed.
Sarah and I live in very different climates – she’s in Michigan and I’m in Texas. So, I had to figure out how to adapt her bedding recipe so that my family wouldn’t get too warm at night. I also have slightly different thoughts about how many pillows should be on a bed – probably because I’m so lazy about taking them on and off the bed when I make it.
