Bedroom Decorating

The importance of getting a bedding set that you LOVE cannot be overstated. And since it creates the atmosphere of your room, you should splurge if you can.

I chose to really invest in a nice set for a king size bed and take care of it. I bought the bedding and matching curtain set from Bed Bath & Beyond. (Yes, it is a chunk of change, but I chose a set with a varied color palette so I could accessorize to my taste. I plan to use this set for many years.)

Remember...you will sleep for several hours each day, so bedding WILL get used a lot and quality must be considered or you'll be replacing it often.

If you can't afford to buy a set, but have sewing skills...I'd invest in great fabric and make a duvet cover with matching pillows and curtains. Choose a fabric that you LOVE and want to wake up to every day.

The mattress is from Justin, the Mankato Mattress Man who gave me a terrific deal.

The bed frame is from Slumberland in Red Wing and was on clearance and discounted drastically due to a scratch on 1 of the tiles. (I covered the scratch using a marker and blending. Betcha can't figure out which tile it is and I saved a LOT by knowing how to cover that imperfection!)

I think dark brown has a warm and rich feeling which was the luxurious and comfortable feel I wanted.

I added a privacy window film so I could keep the set of curtains over my heating and cooling vent open.

Stick on wall decor, a framed printout of art, and my Always Kiss Me Goodnight sign adds to the romantic vibe.
