Bed-Dressing

I recently ordered this West Elm "Parachute" duvet cover. I went back and forth over whether to sew or buy a new one, but all the cute designer fabric I wanted to use would have made the total as much as buying a new one and I would save the guilt over not getting it done "just right" or "not at a snail's pace" or "closed at the bottom" (made one cover almost 5 years ago and still haven't put in that zipper at the bottom). I also reasoned that this one was worth buying since reproducing it would be more or less impossible for me.

I ordered the feather grey color shown above with some shams and have some plans to use this Design Sponge/Brett Bara tutorial to make some throw pillows to go with them. I have my eye on two Moda patterns at Fancy Tiger: An orange/turquoise floral and (same) turquoise and white herringbone.

If you're feeling more determined/original/crafty than I, there's also a duvet cover tutorial you can try!
