junk in my trunk

Every once in a while I have a tawdry affair with Arhaus. Shhh! Don't tell Pottery Barn! I was in there scoping out an element I plan to use in my Master Bedroom when I came upon this bedding.

Now..my question is at $459 for JUST the quilt, who buys this stuff? I can not even imagine! I looked, I touched, and I think a bit of drool might have seeped out (luckily I snapped back into reality before a droplet escaped). And of course I continued on my way.

Then a few days ago while walking about in BBB wasting time before I had to tutor (yes I tutor math...I squeeze so much into a day), I found myself in the Clearance section and gazing at a bedding (KING quilt AND shams) that melted my spine. It looked just like the one at Arhaus but was LESS than 1/4 the cost AND reduced even more on top of that due to a flaw I dare not mention....you will have to wait and I will show you later. So I whipped my 20% coupon out of my purse (Am I the only one who carries them in my purse and in my glovebox?) and dashed out of the store giddy.

And where is it? Where all my treasures rest till I am ready for them....my lovely lady trunk.


It is the perfect marriage of softness, texture, creams, whites, and champagne!

I just want to curl up with this bedding and retreat to my bedroom with a good book.


As you can see it is still in the package. I am saving it for AFTER finals when I can start putting my bedroom together (and of course to make sure it works...I am keeping my fingers crossed.)
Just had to give you a sneak peek of where I am going.

Cheers~

  1. OMG $459?? Don't spend that on all the bedding for my bed. I'm that cheap. Great find on the BBB version. Can't wait to see the finished room.

  2. I cant wait to see the room either. But I have to be honest: I thought you were going to say it was in the trunk b/c you were hiding it from your hubby.:) Oops, did I say that? IVE certainly never done that. But anyways, its lovely and I cant wait to see it in its new space.

  6. That is the most elegant junk in the trunk I'VE ever seen! Seriously incredible find! And seriously, how do you find time for all of this? Talk about talent and organization!

    Thank you so much for the chalkboard idea!! I am LOVING it! I already tracked down a cabinet door on Craigs List that is 3 dollars and I already have chalkboard spray paint that I used for another project. Brilliant! You are so smart!!

  7. Oh my!! I just found a duvet cover/coverlet at a department store today (on clearance) that has the same looks as your's. I just brought it home and it is waiting in the van! I, too, found it with shams, which made the deal even better. Pictures soon!

  10. I'm so excited for you. Isn't it the best feeling. In fact I have just sat down at the computer after showing my husband the duvet cover I got for 70% less than full price due to a ticket pricing error.

  17. Oh my word! The luxe look of it has me melting. I am dying to see your MBR reveal. Dying.

    I fully understand the droplets of drool escaping. Don't even worry. When the store calls security on you b/c you periodically come back and touch the items lovingly, that's when you worry. Or when the sales associates at ZGallerie refer to you as the Perv Pillow Lady b/c you make daily trips to caress their pillows, that's cause for alarm. This happened to, ummm, this girl I know.
