The Perfect Bed

Willams Sonoma Home

 Thanks for all the input and ideas yesterday on pillows and beds. I have lots to explore, and I will put something together as well on making the perfect bed. With all of us spending more time at home nowadays, it is more important than ever to have our homes as cozy and comfortable as they can be. The shams above in this wonderful chinoiserie bedroom are the Chambers Cane Embroidery Collection from Williams Sonoma Home and the monograms are Matouk. Are these his and her monograms?

If you have any more ideas on pillows and bed making in general, feel free to add them as comments today.

  1. I get a lot of my Irish and Belgian linen bedding at estate sales for pennies on the dollar. Many brides who set up housekeeping back in the 60's and 70's received expensive linen bedding as a shower present from grandmothers and beloved aunties. But often as not, they never used it preferring more modern poly cotton (yuck) in groovy bright colors and florals. Fast forward 50 years and these beautiful linens are dragged out of the attic still in the original packaging and offered along with the rest of the household goods in an estate sale. I've bought scores of never used, pure linen pillowcases for $1 each. Dozens of beautiful sheet sets for $5. As long as they've been stored out of the light, the linen will not deteriorate. Sunlight and water are fabrics worst enemies.

  3. I purchase high quality linen from Sferra and have one Frette set from a major sale. I always send them to the dry cleaner which greatly extends their longevity and also produces that wonderful, hotel-like crispness. Horchow routinely has sales and offers monogramming.

    1. I always had my sheets laundered at the dry cleaners but have given it up because of Covid. Oh well.
