Tomorrow my new bed arrives - an orthopedic pillow-top mattress from The Original Mattress Company. I've slept on a crappy futon for 8 months now and for three years prior, two very old, weak mattresses that killed the backs of me and everyone who stayed over. I am beyond excited about my new bed. Also, with a new house comes new decor. I spent the evening shopping for sheets. I decided on dark grey sheets and a white duvet.
The image above shows the two colors together, and the sheets I got are about this deep grey color, but the duvet I got at Target is this one (the one in the picture would have been another $30 I think, and I wasn't crazy about it because it locks me into the grey scheme):
I like it because it is modern with just the right touch of femininity. I'll have to find a bedskirt at some point. For a splash of color I found a beautiful deep red accent pillow. I also have two deep turquoise pillows that I have been toting around for years waiting for the right application. Either would look wonderful on the bed and I could change up the shams and sheets as well. Yes, this is my inner Aunt Bess talking.
The crisp modern color combination and clean lines will contrast my grandmother's antique cherry bedroom furniture nicely. Can't wait to get it all put together. The bed will be done tomorrow afternoon. All that's left to find is a headboard, nightstands, and lamps - more color decisions...
