cotton | Karen's Up on the Hill

With the change of seasons and the cooler weather, comes a change in duvet covers and bedding up here on the hill.

For the summer in the Master Bedroom, I used white and pale pinks in light cotton fabrics, with a Vera Wang Duvet.

For the Fall and Winter season, I change to a heavier cotton duvet from Pottery Barn that has the golds, blues, oranges and yellows of the season. And I love layers on the bed, the more blankets & pillows the better! So cozy.

I added some simple, fresh sunflowers & a pumpkin on the nightstand to continue the Fall theme.

Everything in our home needs to be animal friendly, and I think our very casual choices of furniture and decor reflect that lifestyle.

A shelf in the master bedroom also gets in the spirit of Autumn, with a hand painted sign from a local antique store and some gold hydrangeas.

The guest room gets an update as well, with a linen duvet in a neutral color scheme and lots of pillows too.

I love Pottery barn pillow covers so much, I have them in both rooms. I really think they are a nice quality for the price, and they last forever.

The “Happy Fall” pillow I stenciled, got moved to this room for an inexpensive seasonal touch.

When I decorated this room last year, I was obsessed with linen bedding. It’s just so lovely.

But since actual French bed linen is crazy expensive, I settled on a linen blend for this room. The duvet and shams are linen on the top and a matching lining on the other side. A more cost effective choice than all linen, with the feel I was looking for.

I also have some twin beds in the smaller quest room downstairs, that get a change up of their own.

Simple quilts & pillow covers in Fall colors keep this room ready for quests. Although it is primarily just used by our two cats.

Anyhoo, thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed the mini tour of our bedrooms, and perhaps got a few ideas or some inspiration for your own home this Fall.
