Bedskirt? Can it be found?

Unless my search turns up something more than a 80s floral number, I think the options for modern, classy, and fun (you can do all three) bedskirt are limited. Seriously limited. But then I recalled this post from Young House Love. (I'm seriously obsessed with them since buying our house. Can you tell?) I can make one. Without a sewing machine. Because my crazy bone is just that. Crazy.

I'm in love Michelle Engel Bencsko's Beyond the Sea organic fabric.

Bedskirt?

Looking back at my earlier post, I notice what an eye sore my box spring mattress is. But when I think of a bedskirt, my mind automatically does a line dance (not a good thing). So: to skirt or not to skirt? What are the other options? On Young House Love's blog, I found a bedskirt idea I think I can get under.


Here's the duvet. From West Elm. It's a dramatic yet simple (and organic) pintuck duvet. I'm thinking natural so as not compete with the Rain Washed walls.


I like the idea of a patterned bed skirt so the bed doesn't seem like one block of neutrals. Now to find that dramatic and anchoring bedskirt.

Your bed should look good

We haven't ever bought a duvet for our down comforter because I never found one I liked. They were either too plain, too flowery, or just too much. We have these gorgeous robin-egg blue sheets, which pair nicely with the brown curtains I have hanging on thw window, but it's hard to find something to match. I came across DwellStudio bedding today in my weekly Target ad, and if I had the money, I'd totally buy the Baroque set for my bedroom and the Perch set for my guest room.
