Where we lay our heads…
I thought I would give you all a little true-life (no nonsense) tour of the little nook in my bedroom where we now sleep. The only time you will find our bed made is if I’m taking pictures for a magazine, or if Phil wants some action. :)
Our mattress set, which belonged to my parents before they upgraded, is situated on a $20 steel frame which we purchased at a big box store. On the box spring is a wrinkly dust ruffle. The pillow cases don’t match, but we like it that way. Mine is pink and floral; Phil’s is blue and white pinstriped.
Behind where my head lays, you will find a love note written to me from Phil when we were still dating, six years ago. I think it’s really sweet to remember our love when it was young. I grabbed the frame from a thrift store for a quarter.
My closet is really tiny, so I like remind myself what’s smooshed inside by rotating dresses onto my walls. These two are the current picks, along with a scarf I wore with a red dress yesterday.
My favorite piece in the bed nook is the antique quilt that Phil’s grandma gave us for our wedding. She found the top at an estate sale, and hand quilted it herself! I’ll show you more of my bedroom when my coverlet is complete, and the shelves are all built.
You room is lovely. I love the mix/match pillow cases. Rotating dresses on the wall is so clever. Happy Weekend.
i love little house tours and yours didn’t dissapoint! your bedroom looks cozy and inviting. so lovely to wake up to! xoxo
Very lovely! We don’t have matching sheets or pillow cases either…and I love it. <3
We do the mix and match sheets too. The only complete sheet set we own was a wedding gift, haha. I love picking up new pieces for a couple dollars at the thrift and if I get tired of something I just recycle it into my fabric stash and make something out of it later.
Your room is super lovely!
i love it and the note being framed is so romantic.
The love note is such a sweet idea, and I love your mismatched bedlineneb – especially seeing you leave it messy just as I do!

I really like the the framed love note – sweet idea <3
So beautiful, and the love note is so sweet.
awww love notes!! how cute! come decorate my bedroom please.
I love the real life of this. And the rotating dress idea is awesome! I have a tiny closet too so its great to remember what you’ve got stuffed in there.
I love these pictures! I mix and match sheet sets and pillowcases from thrift stores. I’ve scored some really neat stuff. Some of my faves include a tic tac toe sheet, a giant parrot sheet, and kittens playing with yarn sheet! So fun. :)
where did you get your yellow sheets from?
Lanie, we got them from Pottery Barn on clearance about four years ago. Don’t know if that helps or not! :)
