Hope everyone had a great Holiday weekend.
I did some shopping with my friend Merry while the boys had a tournament this weekend.
The boys play …… we shop!
With numerous Pottery Barn gift cards, rewards, and coupons in hand,
I had fun shopping and left the store with the vision of an almost white bed.
~ ~ ~ ~ ALMOST ALL WHITE BEDDING, A WINTER MASTER BEDROOM ~ ~ ~ ~
The white quilt that was currently on my bed was actually a duvet cover.
Now it is at the foot of the bed finally used as a duvet.
I have had my eye on the Belgian Flax Linen Diamond quilt at Pottery Barn,
however, I did not want to to pay the full price. So I waited, and waited.
Until now.
I have always loved seeing the beautiful beds that were all in white.
However, being a girl that loves color, and yet loving the bedding in all white,
I compromised.
I decided to use a bit of color in the accent pillows
and when I saw these beautiful crewel work pillows, the plan came together.
The standards shams in front of the Euro shams are also the Belgian Flax Linen.
A new accent pillow of white eyelet fabric sits on the bench at the foot of the bed.
The blue and white buffalo check pillows were on the bed
shortly after Christmas and now shuffled across the room to the sofa.
I feel that my room is as comfy as my UGG Boots … with a bit of bling too
just like my boots with the Swarovski crystals.
Speaking of bling. Love adding a bit of shine with gold, mirrors,
and crystals. Like this table and the vintage Italian gold sconces
that you can spy in the first photo.
I wasn’t quite certain how my hubby would feel with all of the white.
As he does like lots of color, pattern and natural wood tones.
But he gave it the thumbs up! Progress! 🙂
It’s going to be a busy week. I have lots of large projects to start
that have been waiting to begin for months now. However, I will begin
with a very small one and bring that to you this week.
In the meantime, have a most wonderfully beautiful day!

Shirley I love the bed in all white with the touch of color. I to am working on changing my bed to all white, but I wanted to have a hint of color also. My daughter bought me a white quilt for Christmas that I can’t wait to use. Your bedroom today gave me some ideas and I hope to have mine done soon.
I love white linens especially with dark furniture. Your bedroom is always so beautiful. You and Kim get the best bargains at Pottery Barn!
The bed looks SO pretty and I LOVE the accent pillows, just a touch of BEAUTIFUL color! I am drooling oer them! I am off to shop at HL with a neighbor then stop for lunch! We will be running between the rain drops, but that’s OK!

Such a pretty bedroom. The crewel accent pillows are just beautiful, and they pull everything together with just the right amount of color and texture.
I love your new bedding, the crewel pillows are stunning!
Beautiful bedroom…..

Oh so beautiful Shirley. I am in the process of trying to figure out going with white or more neutral bedding and adding color with shams and pillows or return to colors like I have had in the past.
I’m so drawn to the tranquil feeling of a bed like yours.
Would you share your wall paint color?
That looks so beautiful. I’m a color gal too but as you’ve shown with the right accessories the white can be quite striking. Love the crewel work pillows- perfect! Your bedroom is so beautiful- I always love to see that gorgeous ceiling detail!

The room is beautiful, Shirley. I feel the same about color, but it pops so well against the white. I love it!
Beautiful!!! I love all white bedding as well.
Shirley it looks beautiful and inviting!! I am a color gal too, but in my bedrooms I love the all white look and have had it that way for years. You are really going to enjoy it and I can see you doing the pillow shuffle throughout the season. You will have fun with it. I think the all white is so soothing.

Just Beautiful!! I love color but in one of my bedrooms I have white with colors in quilt, pillows, and throw…and on walls. Love the bling mixed with any decor! Can’t wait to see your projects.
Beautiful Shirley. The whites for your bed just make all the color in your room pop. That guest room is so beautiful and cozy. Love your Ugg’s so cute!!! Have a great new week.

Love the new look in your bedroom. I have a blue bedroom as well and really love it. What color blue is on your walls? I’m looking for something that is a grey blue. Love to look at your blog.
Shirley, our bedrooms are twins now! I have all white linen duvets on my bed, and love it. A grey velvet comforter at the foot for this winter season. The great thing about all white is that 1. It always looks fresh and clean. 2. You can accent with absolutely every color. Beautiful, sweet friend.. I wish you relaxing little winter naps and restful nights in your snowy white bed. Xo Lidy
