sweet [and soft] dreams

Dear readers,

Today is a joyous occasion!  After tearing open the final package today, I have officially obtained all the different components of my bedding set.  Of course, I ran upstairs, tore off my own sheets, and replaced them with my dorm bedding so I could see how it would all come together.  And the final verdict is… I love it!  I absolutely could not contain my excitement, so I decided to blog about it.

I can't say enough about how much I love this duvet cover.  The black makes it chic and modern, while the ruche adds just the right touch of feminine.  (Ruched Duvet Cover + Sham, Pottery Barn Teen)

I don't care that it's "machine wash only."  This chenille throw is literally the softest thing in the entire world, and I can't wait to snuggle up in it with a cup of hot chocolate during the colder months.  (Chenille Throw in Shaded Spruce, Pier One Imports)

This was the only picture I could find of my decorative pillow that portrayed the color accurately.  I bought the big, teal, ruffly one in the front.  What can I say?  I'm a bit of a prima donna.  (Flounce Pillow in Teal, Pier One Imports)

With the solid black duvet and solid-colored throw and pillow, I wanted to do a bold pattern for my sheet set.  How much bolder than black and white stripes can you get?  (Cottage Stripe Sheet Set, Pottery Barn Teen)

I knew I needed to buy two sets of sheets in case something happened to one of them (a stain, tear, etc.).  But I ended up torn between the striped sheets and the polka dots, so I got one of each.  It's the best of both worlds!  (Reverse Dottie Sheet Set, Pottery Barn Teen)

In other exciting news, I officially have less than a month before I’m shipped off to college land.  Part of me wishes the clock would tick a little faster; I can’t wait to dive into these new sheets!
