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!

I really love the ideas from your article. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
Love it. the headboard, the bedding, the pillows, the room. Just gorgeous. Now I will need you to let us know how well the hot glue holds up after a washing.
Have you ever tried turning your bedding so the top and end are on the sides? I almost do this everytime I get new bedding just so its long enough to reach the rail. I have to admit I splurged for a pb duvet and it wasn’t so nice when it came, now I have to debate returning it, at the 10% they charged for shipping, I’m scared to waste money! I did find a awesome ruffled white quilt and shams at tjmaxx two weeks ago for 60 and 15 each. STEAL!

LOVE the euro shams (and that FAB ethan allen chair!! We can dream, right?!?!)
Okay, so I’m in love with the white quilt you found at Target. Can I find it online? I went to the store today and didn’t see it. Do you have a link if it is? I’d love to get one. Thanks so much for your inspiration!
Beautiful! It looks so peaceful! I would LOVE to have all white bedding, but with my little munchins jumping on my bed every chance they get, I guess I’ll have to wait till they grow out of it! I would love for you to come link up to my Sew Crafty Party !
We have white bedding and I LOVE it! It stays white pretty well actually! It looks beautiful!
This is wonderful! Looking forward to your tutorial!
Absolutely gorgeous! I would love a white bedspread, but it wouldn’t stay white long… ;(
Looks gorgeous!
Shanty Chic. I like it!
Absolutely beautiful. . . thanks so much for sharing!
