Oh geez! It's hot out. Summer is here in a serious way. If you are like me and don't have air conditioning, the summer air is a compromise at times. Don't get me wrong...I love summer but sometimes it's hard to beat the heat. I mostly struggle during the humid nights. I avoid the very thought of heavy covers on me while I try to sleep, yet I find it hard to sleep without the feeling of something over me. Prior to this, I had never consider seasonal bedding, but I have changed my ways.
 |
| Warm, snuggly bedding for cold nights. |
During the winter, I use a comforter over top of my white duvet. As I mentioned (
here), I keep the white duvet below (and use while I sleep), and dress up the bed during the day with my
Anthropologie comforter.
 |
| Lots of blankets. Too much for the warm season. |
Now that it is summer, I needed to get rid of the many layers. I decided on a quilt, which I picked up at
Marshalls for only $39.99! It's is not only light weight, it's clean and fresh for the summer months in comparison to the bold duvet I rock the rest of the year. And yes, I bought a white quilt. I swore I would do my best to keep it clean...plus, it's machine washable.
 |
| Added a light, embroidered quilt and a colourful pillow. |
 |
Lay your heavier comforter across the foot of the bed,
just in case. Plus it adds colour! |

| Chartreuse embroidery detail |
On another note....Don't judge my bedroom yet. It's is still in it's 'I-moved-in-and-haven't-done-anything" stage. The master bedroom is not high on the list of priorities, just yet. One day though...one day...
