Pottery Barn Hack

So....we had a duvet that was black cotton. It was a magnet for Willow's white dog hair and there was so much hair everywhere that she might as well have been sleeping in the bed with us.  So I decided to get a new one, but duvets are super expensive, unless you get one from IKEA, and their styles are limited to solids and geometric patterns...no flowers, stripes, polka dots, unusual solid colors, nothing.

This, and my budget led me to Pinterest, where I found a pin called, "Make your OWN damn duvet!" (haha) and I was inspired.  So I bought 2 pewter colored king size flat sheets from shopbedding.com out of which to make my own. Then they said they were fresh out of pewter after the fact, so I picked gold instead. Not my favorite, but when you ask Seth what his favorite color is, he says "GOLD!" *eyeroll

I decided to mimic the pintuck duvet sold by pottery barn.


Here's how mine ended up turning out!!


I'm going to get a big frame (maybe with gold on it, lol) and put a picture of the three of us in it and put it on the wall behind the bed.  You can't really tell from the pic, but the curtains in the background have gold lacing through them, so it was perfect! :)
