And so to bed...

I am tired of my bedding.

I realized that I have not taken any proper pictures of my bedroom and the picture below is NOT one...

However, you can get a bit of a sense of what the current bedding looks like:



It is a pale silvery blue and is at least 6 years old and showing every one of those 6 years.  There are stains now and it is looking very worn. 

So I have turned my steely gaze to finding just the right bedding for our room.  The walls, except for the one wallpapered wall shown behind me, are a peacock blue as shown below...



Things that I am taking into consideration as I purchase new bedding:

1) there is a third "person" in bed with us - our 13 year old Lhasa Apso, Indy.  In other words - must be washable and must not pull when claws walk on it.
2) we are thinking of going to a lightweight duvet and duvet cover.  Before this last bedding, that's what we used but we got sick of it.  However, I believe we got sick of it because it was a cheap duvet that had completely uneven fill.
3) I love the colour of my bedroom walls and do not plan to change it.

So I have been searching online and have identified some possibilities, but would love any thoughts/ideas/recommendations you might have!

Option 1: Pottery Barn Duvet Covers:

A paisley?



A trellis pattern?



A floral?

 
 

Some birds?



A very plain linen and silk?



Option 2: Garnet Hill and Eileen Fisher

If money and puppy claws were not an option, this little duvet from Eileen Fisher would be on my bed:

Eileen Fisher Seasonless Silk Comforter & Throw

Isn't that grey silk divine?

Maybe a washed linen in grey instead?

Eileen Fisher Washed Linen Collection


Option 3) Nordstroms

A lovely print by Tracy Porter's Poetic Wanderlust:

These are what I have found thus far that I like - would love any ideas you might have!

Thanks and have a great Sunday!!!!  Stay safe out there!
