Bedding Cravings
I remember being in seventh grade and not "getting" women and shoes. Why would you need more than one pair, preferably Vans? Then one day I bought some ballet shoes at Target for an event, and I got a lot of compliments. They got dirty, so I decided to buy them in another color. But red didn't go with my favorite pink shirt, so I bought some gold wedges. Then I needed to wear socks and my Vans were too sloppy, so I got some fancy sneakers. dot dot dot - Twelve years later and I need infinite cubbies for all of my footwear.
This is also what happened to me with bedding. I started off with a cheapie comforter. Then I bought a fancy feather duvet after college. Then the feathers got in everything, so I bought a synthetic duvet. Then I needed a light coverlet for my boyfriend who complains about overheating. The end game is that I have way too many forms of bedding and I would make the worst Buddhist ever because I cannot satisfy my cravings for more.
I'm moving to a new place in May, and I swear I will acquire all of the items below and never think about bedding again:
- Three sheet sets: white, solid, and print
- Twelve pillowcases
- Two bed blankets
- One bed coverlet
- One spring duvet
- One winter duvet
- Two duvet covers
Desired: Unisex, modern or simple, nice quality, machine washable, synthetic filling for the duvets, eco-friendly blah blah blah, everything matches or "goes." I also have a thing for linen, and if I don't indulge it now, it may haunt me.
Ordered (sort of) by affordability:
- Canopy 3-piece Coverlet set - at Wal-Mart. I know Wal-Mart is evil. But read the reviews. I am not too proud.
- PB Teen Classic Organic sheet sets - I love the feeling of cheating the system by shopping at PB Teen, even though it is not really cheating anything
- Pinzon Zero-Twist Egyptian cotton blanket - Pretty herringbone. On sale! (Queen size in White is $120 off.)
- Unison Porter duvet set - Like a man's shirt.
- Organic ikat stripe sheet set - At West Elm.
- Italian 464 Percale duvet cover - On sale!
- Sanford Burrows streamline duvet set - On sale!
- St. Bart's duvet cover - Made by Rough Linen, aka Tricia Rose, the mother of a friend from San Francisco. She's been featured everywhere and handcrafts these amazing, soft sea-captain's duvets from natural linen.
- Emile mineral duvet cover - Another linen choice by area.
