Twice a year, in early spring and late summer, I make it a habit to add to our ever-growing collection of bedding. I love the feel of crisp sheets and like to switch out the look of our beds often so I’m always on the lookout for timeless prints and colors to bring into our home. This time of year is great for finding some wonderful bedding on sale and since last week we talked a lot about pillows, today we’ll have a look at some great options available if you’re on the lookout for something pretty for the bedroom. Serena & Lily have really hit the spot this summer with their collection of shams, sheet sets and duvet covers, and most of them are now on sale. Below are some of my absolute favorites, although most of their things are really pretty and I had a hard time keeping this list contained:

Throw pillows are like a fabulous pair of shoes – you can’t have too many and they dress up even the blandest of outfits, or sofas. One of the easiest ways to refresh your decor is to switch out your throw pillows with the seasons, or when the mood strikes. This is not breaking news, I know, but having an abundant stash of timeless prints and coordinating solids to choose from will allow you to experience your home in new and exciting ways without having to break the bank. And who doesn’t want that? 

It’s been months since I last shared updates on our family room’s builtin bookshelves but with the unexpected & long-lasting effects of the pandemic, finding carpenters available for the job in our area has been a challenge and everything took longer than we had originally planned. Ten months and thousands of phone calls later, we’re grateful that the builtin bookshelves are done and the job is 90% completed. We just finished painting the room so I thought I’d share with you where we are with this project.
