I have spent months with baby fever, in part because so many of my blogging friends recently had or are having babies and I wanted to remember what it felt like again. Sending my daughter off to kindergarten only multiplied that effect, although I wonder how wise it is to wish for an infant now that the house is finally quiet in the daytime…lol. Still, I find myself intrigued by all things baby, so these deals definitely caught my attention. First up is the gorgeous bedding set by Ferm Living shown above. It is crib sized, but most experts do not recommend putting a duvet in a crib with a sleeping infant, so it would probably best be used on a toddler bed. It comes with a pillow case and duvet in a matching storage bag.

West Elm has a knack for creating bedding designs that make me seriously consider redecorating my entire bedroom around them. Of course, there’s only so much redecorating my husband can stand. But don’t these photos make you feel the same way? Maybe it’s the moody, effortless way some of the rooms are styled, but they have a way of making me feel like curling up in bed for the rest of the day. Sort of like the way you feel on a rainy day, but in a good way.

I will completely admit that I have a hard time decorating with traditional neutrals: white, off white, beige, ecru…whatever you want to call it. I’ve seen so many homes and rooms with almost-white walls and very light, neutral furnishings that I love. But I have a hard time creating that kind of look myself. What I’ve learned is to make neutrals work, you have to add texture and elements of interest, even if they aren’t colorful. This bedding is a great example of a neutral textile that is still very interesting.

Dark blue has been on my “must have” list lately. Although I’d originally planned to find something to paint, I may have to reconsider. The Organic Indigo Collection from Zen Deluxe is like something from a green dream. Finding gorgeous, eco-friendly linens in indigo isn’t impossible, but it’s definitely a challenge. This collection single-handedly changed that.
Each piece is available separately, so you can go subtle with a pillow cover, rug or lamp shade, or combine several of these elements for a look that is both cohesive and eclectic, as seen in the first photo. Personally, I think having all of them in one space would be overkill, but the ability to mix and match to your desired saturation is awesome.

If it seems like I’m an Amy Butler fan girl, I’m not ashamed to admit that I am. I’ve always loved her patterns, but once she starting making the transition to organics, I fell in love with her anew. And then I won my gorgeous Bucharest bedding and the deal was officially sealed. And as if I could love her work any more than I already do, I discovered some new things today:
- She makes organic cotton shower curtains!
- New bedding designs are available!
- Some of her bedding has matching window treatments!
