Bedroom Make-Over Progress: A Duvet

I've made it a goal during these next couple of months to work on decorating our bedroom to make it our own little escape. For an apartment, it's a larger room so I'm trying to make it super cozy. I've got a lot of plans for it, but a major piece (our bedding!) has come in, so I wanted to give you a peek at the decorating progress!


I haven't quite decided on the pillow situation yet -- I might try to find some huge euro pillows to go in the very back and add in a couple more colorful//shapely pillows. I got the duvet from UO and I just LOVE that it's reversible! I'm a big fan of changing things up, so this is perfect. :)

Next on the bedroom decor agenda:
* Paint wall behind bed a deep charcoal
* Replace black side tables with floating shelves 
* Find curtains
* Put together artwork for above bed
* Find lamps

I'll keep you updated on the progress!

Inspiration for Your Nest: The Search for a Duvet

Jon and I never really settled into a decision on our bedding when we did the registry process before our wedding.  So, after the wedding, we used a collection of our old twin comforters (cozy, but a sore sight!)...we're thinking it's time to get grown up bedding and put some effort into making our room our own little cozy sanctuary...so here are our choices:

Cabana Stripe Duvet Cover - OU
Inka in Fig - Aura
Vintage Scarf Reversible - UO
Ankita in Indigo - Aura
Mimosa Reversible - Z Gallerie
Striped Duvet Cover - West Elm
Waterfall Ruffle - UO
Organic Seedling Duvet - West Elm
It will be up against a dark charcoal wall, and I'm planning to mix in lots of fun colorful pillows (not too matchy-matchy) with whichever one I pick. Have a vote? Any suggestions on other places that carry fabulous and fun duvets?! -- I'll be sure to share our final decision with some photo's.
