Pillow Talk.

Hey y'all,

So as I have been dreaming of my new place which I move into in less than 2 months, I have been thinking of some small purchases to finish off my bedroom including my lack of throw pillows. However, when it came time to scour the mall and Homegoods I only found pillows that were $50 a piece to match my bedset. While I loved my comforter when I first bought it, it has become a sore issue. I love that it is Carolina blue and seersucker but upon further examination it actually is a strange blue shade with a brown stripe in the middle. So instead of spending $100 on two pillows

My current bedding.
I want to stay away from creating a themed room too since this one borders on becoming nautical.
I have decided to instead look for a bed set that includes pillows and save me some hassle. Well, that is also an issue since I want something that coordinates with the sheets I already have and as much as I pin bedrooms with white bedding, I currently have all white furniture and I don't think I will paint the new place so white+white+white is not in my future. 
My current sheet collection includes plain navy and light blue along with some great Homegood finds from the past few months like:

So I am trying to stay in the blue family when I look for duvets/comforters (I am willing to add in a bit of pink as well) and hoping for a set so I don't have to spend $200 on just the duvet/comforter and shams+accent pillows. Here are some options I have found....

Martha Stewart Collection Gazebo Flowers Collection*the current favorite (it was on sale for $160 for everything:euro shams, shams, comforter, bed skirt and accent pillows two weeks ago)

I love this set but I have only been able to find the comforter not the accent pillows

Design on a Dime: Bedroom

Hey y'all,

So one of my biggest announcements is that come fall I will be moving! I am staying in the Triangle area but I will be living with one of my sweet sorority sisters, B who I have known since our first year in college! I am so excited to begin searching for a place and to have a lovely roommate (living by oneself is not for me). So now that we have officially decided to live together, the area we are looking at and I have started a list of places to view I have begun dreaming of decorating the new place. Mind you, my current place is not that decorated and I think that is because after a month I knew I eventually wanted to have a roommate. Here are some things from Ikea and Target I would love to have in my new bedroom. Now only a few more months to look for a place and move (yes there is already an Ikea trip planned for this summer).



sweet dreams





My bedspread is light blue seersucker with a small brown stripe in it and lots of ruffles!
