Justin will not allow me to put anything even semi girly in our bedroom, so I was in for a challenge with our bedding. Most bedding that I ended up liking was so girly, which is weird because I wouldn’t even consider myself to be girly. I went to TJ Maxx, Target, Marshall’s and Steinmart one afternoon on a mission to bring home a new comforter for our bed. I found these two that I liked and thought would work well with the new color on our walls.
I sent them to Justin and he immediately said no to both. I figured he would, just gave it a shot. I really wanted something gray and simple, but apparently plain bedding is not in stores. I decided to check online and see what I could find. I found this duvet on IKEA.com and I love it.
I was not sure about a duvet cover because I have never had one. I thought it would fall to the sides or edges and not stay in place. I literally could not find any other plain gray bedding that I liked so I ordered it and figured I would try it out. I was under the impression that it would arrive in a week. One month later it finally came. If I would have known how long it would have taken to arrive I would not have purchased it, but I waited it out. Good thing I ended up liking it!
I love it! Looks great with the wall color and it is definitely neutral enough for Justin. Also so far it has held our previous comforter just fine, no bunching up at the edges yet. It also has a little design in the fabric.
I also made a few throw pillows for the bed to dress it up a little.
I just took some old pillows I had and covered them. So far so good in the bedroom.
