4 Updates For Your Summer Bedroom

July 24, 2019~ bedroom, Decor

In the summer heat – however occasional it is – all I want is to kick back the duvet and lay there in the dark while a soft breeze blows over me. Our lovely 1960s house does not have A/C and so far we’ve been pretty comfy without it. One of the easiest ways to stay cool in the summer is to invest in some Fresh Summer Bedroom Linens from Homesense. With as little as 200$, you can make 4 Updates For Your Summer Bedroom.

*Homesense sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.

It's hot out y'all. These 4 Updates For Your Summer Bedroom are how you're gonna beat the heat, and it starts with a trip to Homesense!

Use A Bed Quilt Instead of Duvet

I started our summer bedroom refresh by ditching the duvet. We sleep with one year round normally, but with the summer heat we opted to go for a big quilt instead. 

Homesense carries a variety of quilts, coverlets and comforter sets, and this one in white with a simple pattern was just what I wanted. It’s heavy enough for the cooler evenings, but still lightweight enough that if I want some cover, I won’t roast to death in the night.

New Cotton bedsheets 

Bruce has this annoying habit of ripping holes in our fitted sheets while he digs around to make his weird dog nest. We’ve said goodbye to countless sheet sets, so I took this opportunity to get new ones. We have shades of yellow at work in the master bedroom, so I grabbed these fun sheets in marigold. I even threw one over our headboard to bring the colour one step further.

Dan would be very upset if I swapped our headboard only a few months after we completed our bedroom reno, so this way when we swap linens back for winter, all I have to do is peel back a sheet.

Fresh New Throw Pillows

I LOVE throw pillows. They’re like stuffed animals, but for grown women. At this point in my pregnancy (6 weeks to go), I need about 6 of them to get comfy at night, and Dan isn’t into sharing. So grabbing some new pillows was exactly what I needed.

Now I can build my own weird little bed nest with fresh pillows, and instead of having to ditch a big maternity pillow under the bed each morning, these just get put back in place. I’m here for it!

I think that using the various shades of blue, against the big white euro shams, and the pop of leopard, is a fun and flirty pattern mix. PLUS it feels like the kitchen’s banquette situation, and I love it.

 Bed Side Table Accents

No stone was left unturned in this summer bedroom refresh. I grabbed a fan for Dan’s side table, and got my first ever reed diffuser for my side! I usually grab candles, but I only really light them in the fall and winter. This felt like a summer worthy scented addition (for 16.99$ no less).

The nude silhouette of a woman was a fab art find, and one I’ve had in the space for a while. By moving it down to the side table, I feel like I get to appreciate it even more now. Win!

If you’re also sweltering in the summer heat, or looking to refresh your bedding situation because why not, this is your moment! Head into Homesense to see what’s in store, and maybe you’ll come out with a whole new bedding situation!

    Oh my, haha. Throw pillows are stuffed toys for grown women… I think you hit the nail on the head there!! I never actually use them (except one for when I’m on the couch, because I’ve got a very angular MCM styled couch), but they sure do make everything prettier!
    I like the idea of throwing a sheet over the headboard… hmm. Might have to look into that. 🙂 My apartment has A/C, but I’ve barely had to use it–I mostly rely on a little retro-styled table fan from WalMart that is a darling shade of aqua. I keep it in the bedroom so I can have a breeze at night.
    I got a duvet for the first time… but since it’s summer, I just decided not to stuff it. So now I’ve just got a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and duvet cover. Very lightweight!

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]

*insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from *insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from @mymitzi make this wet bar. Sure, secret thing else contributes to the #retroaesthetic , but lighting sets the mood. These brass sconces blend right in when they need to, but gleefully take center stage after dark. What do ya think?
