bedroom revitalization, part 1.

Here's what we started with.
An empty room.


And a bare closet and shelf. (I promise the wall color isn't such a heinous shade of mustard yellow or split-pea green.)


Here's what our bed has looked like since we arrived in July. Just sheets. A) because it's hot, B) because we didn't have a duvet cover for the comforter.


But, then..I found the this pattern from crate and barrel. I hunted it down at an outlet store in New Jersey.



And, lo and behold, it finally arrived in the mail today!
So what did I do? I tore into the box like a kid on Christmas morning, and threw it onto the bed faster than you can say marimekko tamburiini bed linens.

And there you have it, our new bedding!
