Hey everyone! I’m going against my norm and showing you a project I have yet to finish. It’s getting there though. I recently ran across some Pottery Barn bedding pictures that gave me an itch to change up my bedroom. I love white bedding. I love Pottery Barn white bedding. But, with a $400 price tag on the duvet alone 🙁 I had to come up with a shanty version.
That led me on a trip to Ikea with my younger sister.
After she tried on all the baskets hats, we made our way over to bedding. Sorry for posting these Kyndra :-))
I originally wanted a big, fluffy duvet to cover the bed so I quickly jumped on a white one that Ikea offered for $170 with the filler. I took it home, opened it up and threw it on my bed only to find that it was way to short on both sides. UGH.
So, I drove back to Ikea the next day to return only to find out that they won’t accept returns on bedding items. 2nd UGH. I did find a super cute $20 throw that I ended up putting over my tiny duvet at the end of my bed.
I ended up going to Target and finding a simple white quilt that fit my bed perfectly. It was only $70.
At that point I was ready for my Euro shams but kind of lost on ideas. Then I got this ad in the mail and fell in l.o.v.e.
So cute, right?? If I had $1000 to spend on a chair I would run out and get me one now. I did find inspiration for my pillows though… Whoop!
Like it? I will show you how I made them in my next post. Don’t worry… I used hot glue 🙂
And here is my bed… As of now. I still want more pillows for the front but I have to make those and they haven’t come to me yet.
I also have to change up my roman shades a bit…
But, overall I am happy with where I am at now.
Thanks so much for stopping by! We have such a fun month lined up and we are excited to share it with all of you over the next few weeks so stay tuned!
Have a great day!

Very pretty still have not been to an Ikea…
Oh I think your bedroom is looking just perfect! I use fabric glue for a lot of projects such as making curtains, adding trim, etc. Works great, but I’ve never washed anything that I’ve glued with it.
Lovely pillows and shades. I really thing tone-on-tone works so well. Hope you have a happy Easter. Jane
I love it! I love your lamps also! Where did you find those at? I love your reading all of your girls’ posts!

Sigh! This is the look I so want in my bedroom!! I have a king size dark cherry sleigh bed I want to paint black. I am halfway there with the white bedding, but seeing your headboard is stirring me to get some paint and start painting! I feel the motivation coming! Coincidentally my oldest daughter and I were planning a visit to IKEA this Saturday! What luck I read your post! I will be on the lookout for more bedding ideas!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh, and PS I hate that I am 5 hours away from IKEA. Kind of bums me out in the design world! 🙁
That is why you need to come to Dallas, get some coffee and let me take you shopping 🙂 We would get into some serious trouble!
Whitney! I have ALWAYS wanted a “white room”! I am totally inspired…this is what my guest bedroom will look like one day…well, of course not as cute as YOURS, but something similar. 😉
Thank you ma’am! I appreciate it 🙂
I love white bedding too!
I ADORE your room–even though you still want to work on it, it looks great as it is. I am addicted to the all-white bedding/bedroom. It looks amazing with the dark brown furniture. And that chair IS to die for!! Your inspiration pillows look awesome also 🙂
i was going to suggest that you cut up the ikea duvet that you couldn’t return-
but then i kept reading and saw you mention hot gluing something-
but if there was something you wanted to make out of the ikea duvet then maybe you could find someone to sew it for you-

Hey John,
That’s a great suggestion… I actually do sew though occasionally I like to whip out the hot glue gun 🙂 I may just be gutting it up to make the throw pillows. Thanks!! Whitney
i swore off of glue gunning trims when a majorily decorated toy soldier jacket for nutcracker got sent to the cleaners and came back a big old mess –

Love it Whitney. It’s so fresh looking. I love IKEA. Isn’t it wonderful to be so close to one? By the way I have the same throw at the end.of our bed we got at IKEA a couple of months ago and love it.
Hey Debbie! Thanks! Isn’t that throw great? It’s so cute and I like to take pictures of the baby on it 🙂 Hope you are feeling good!!
I love the white bedding! It looks so fresh! I also really like your furniture 🙂
Thanks so much Libby!!
Ooh Whit! I love it! I have also been drooling over the PB white ruffled bedding, but couldn’t afford it. I like what you did with the Euro shams. I love the bedding I have now, but they didn’t make euro shams for it. I REALLY want euro shams. I never thought of having 3 euro shams, but I like the way that looks. I may need your help figuring out how to make euro shams that will go with my bedding! Thanks for sharing! And I think Kyndra looks lovely with those hats!
Thanks Kat! I would be happy to help you 🙂 Just text me. And yes… Kyndra is a beauty!
Oh Lovely!! I would love to change my room like this. But I live with two dirty men and a tomboy! I’m thinking I should have my own room that no one can come into! 🙂
Hahaha… I love that idea Jan!! Good thinking!!
Gorgeous! We had an all white room, except for pale green walls, pre-kids. Would love to do this again but not sure how practical it would be at this point (2 boys under 3 and a girl on the way).
Did you make the headboard or buy it? I’m hoping you bought it somewhere so I can get one. 🙂
Christy.. I had two girls under three when my son was born 🙂 We bought this bed at Rooms to Go but it’s been about 2 years. I love it! Thanks!!
