Duvet Change

I  decided back in December that I needed a new duvet cover. The one I owned at the time was gray and white with horizontal stripes. I had owned it for 3 years and it was starting to show some wear. I wanted something a tad bit more feminine, and I wanted it to brighten the room up a bit. So began my search. I started at West Elm, where my last one was bought. However, I couldn't find anything I really had my heart set on. I turned to Pottery Barn Teen next, and I was surprised by how many option they had. There were some that were geared more toward teenage girls, but I saw several options that I liked. I wanted something that was a blend of feminine and elegance.

      
This was the first one I found

 


This was the second one I found, and I fell in love with it!
 
The first two are part of the Emily and Merrit line that is semi new to Pottery Barn Teen. There are several things from this collection that I like. I have a hard time finding a good duvet cover that isn't mostly white. I have a German shepherd, so I need a duvet cover that isn't mostly white, or else his hair is all over it!! Yikes!! My second choice was out because of this. Unfortunately, that was my favorite one. The second choice I just wasn't set on. It reminded me of a beach theme room and I just didn't go with my plans. I continued looking through the website and finally came upon this one:
 
 
 
I still had to think about this one for awhile. I just wasn't sure about those white sheets mixing with German Shepherd hair. It didn't seem like a good idea, if you know what I mean. I found matching lavender sheets and I decided to buy this duvet cover. To help offset the cost Pottery Barn Teen was offering 20% off bedding and free shipping. Even with the 20% off it was still expensive for a queen size duvet cover. I plan on having it around for awhile though. I had to wait a month before buying the matching sheet set, because of the price for a queen size bed. I have had the sheets for about two weeks now, and I love the entire set!!! I wake up every morning and feel happy. I just love the way it looks!
 
 
 


The best part? I used my Delta Skymiles credit card and went through the Pottery Barn Teen link on the American express skymiles shopping website. This allowed me to earn 2 miles for every dollar spent! I love getting miles for my shopping!
