How do I make my bed?

There are so many different ways to make your bed now. Coverlets or comforters? 2 pillows or 20? To dust ruffle or not? I'm going to show you a few different ways that we like to make a bed.

The Hotel Bed

Have you ever been to a hotel and just wanted to take the bed home with you? Tidy linens, down comforter and a coverlet. We love to replicate this look for a nice retreat at home.



White and brown linens paired nicely for a crisp, metropolitan master bedroom.



Neutrals create a calm and relaxing atmosphere.

The Updated Bed

Do you have bedding that you absolutely love, but it needs a fresh look? We have taken comforters and quilts that client's own and given them a new look.



By adding a solid coverlet, this client was able to keep her colorful comforter and antique pillows.



Again, by adding a solid coverlet, this client was able to keep her existing comforter and pillows in her guest room.

The Ohhh Ahhh Bed

This is the category for beds that are just great. Whether simple or extravagant, they turned out beautifully!








So, as you can see, there are so many different ways to make a bed. Be different and unique. Don't be satisfied with a "bed in a bag." Take ready-made items and mix them up.

Until next week!

Why Change?

Some people may ask why change my house? I've had it this way for a while, but I like it? Don't fix it if it's not broken, right? Well, that's one way to look at it. For us, change is good. There are improvements on how to do things and new ideas all the time and trends are changing constantly.

Just think if we didn't make some changes occasionally... we would all still have orange and green shag carpet and pink refrigerators! So, change can give us a fresh perspective of our room, our home and our life.

Reevaluating a space can be not only productive, but also therapeutic! Cleaning out a room and repurposing it can make you feel good and can even inspire you! Turn an older child's bedroom into an office or craft room (but wait until they move out, please ;] ) Clean up your laundry room and set up a table so you can actually fold clothes in there, not just store Christmas dishes.

I just repurposed a bookcase in my living room to house my son's toys. This got them out of sight and off the floor and made my living room feel useable again!

Here is an example. We took this playroom / storage space and changed it into a home office / homework room! We were even able to display some of her children's artwork in frames that can easily be changed.

Before....

After...

You can also move around some items in your home to give you a fresh look. Take away the greenery and rearrange the items on your table. Get a new lamp or some new candlesticks. Switch out your picture frames and photos for new ones (especially if your children are no longer in 2nd grade, but your grandchildren are).

A few changes can freshen up your space and give your home a boost. Don't be afraid to move things around or repurpose something to fit your always changing life!

Until next week!
