Simple White Duvet

I've been wanting a simple white duvet for my favorite down comforter, but didn't want to spend a ton of money on one. Solution…flat white sheets. I use them for just about everything.

Just cut the sheets a little bigger than your comforter, stitch three sides and add some simple ties made from left over scraps for the open end.

Super simple and a lot less money.

I would suggest cutting the sheets to size as opposed to tearing them. I tore mine and they didn't tear straight. I ended up having to trim each side to even them up. It would have been much easier to cut them in the first place.

Bedroom Decor A Mix of Old and New

For months I've been scaling back, purging, cleaning and getting rid of all the things in my home that I don't really love. 

I found this beautiful chandelier in a closet.

I had purchased it a couple of years ago at a garage sale and forgotten about it.

It is now hanging in my bedroom and I love it.

The dresser below it is a piece that we found in a thrift shop for about $30.

My husband did a fabulous job restoring it.

The pitchers were flea market finds and the white curtains I made from a cotton sheet.

 Straw hats, old shutters and new white lampshades for each side of the bed dress up the space while keeping it simple.

My collection of old chandelier crystals hang from a reclaimed cabinet door with chicken wire insert.

A stained glass window and some mercury glass candles sit atop the fireplace.

A few pretty accessories

add some interest.

 

I love this room so much more without all the clutter.

I feel like it's a lovely mix of old and new and holds good memories of times that my husband and I spent treasure hunting together.
