Colourful Preppy Bedroom Update

March 13, 2020~ bedroom

Surprise surprise, I changed our bedsheets again and wanna tell y’all about it. I partnered with Crane and Canopy to bring a new duvet cover into the mix, but also on the most amazing jammies ever, and I wanna show you.

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

The Nova duvet cover

I was just gonna get a regular duvet cover, but I noticed they had a new one called the Nova. It gives you the look over the folded over sheet, without actually having to fold over a sheet. 

As someone who has precisely 0.2 seconds to make her bed each day – babies are time consuming – I’m all about the look without the extra time it takes to fold it over.

If it was as simple as just folding the sheet over, I wouldn’t be bothered, but between Bruce and the two cats, no bed stays made. So having the “look” actually be part of the cover is a huge plus.

As you can see here, in a pic from the glam floral bedroom unveil last winter, I’m actually a fan of the folded over look.

I’ve got some videos in my stories today showing how easy it is, but if you wanna see their professional video, check this out:

 

The Harper print – the mighty polka dot

This past summer I went white and yellow with the bedding, and then in the fall I threw a very floral comforter into the mix – as you can see in my pom pom wreath post – but polka dots are where it’s at. When I saw the Nova in the Harper print, I knew it was meant to be.

I’ve used the print several times, and always find myself going back to it. I love the preppy simplicity of it, and I think the classic black and white is all that’s needed.

It isn’t a grid of polka dots, it’s a more random scattering of them, but it still feels deliberate, so my eyes don’t twitch. More importantly, it flors

Colourful Preppy Updates

I’m always and forever moving things around in the bedroom, so I think the pink floral stool from the bathroom, actually works really well here. It’s a stepping stool for the older kitty, and serves as an extra ledge for books. I dig it.

Coupled with some new bedside table styling, I’d say we’re in business.

Let’s talk about those monogrammed jammies. I got The Layla monogramed loungewear in black, and am in love. They’re so soft, super comfy (not waistband that rolls down) and I find they fit true to size.

They’re also perfect for lounging on the bed and chatting on the phone for hours on end.

Ariel - PMQ for two
I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcou I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcouch podcast and I gotta say - FAN 👏🏻 GIRL 👏🏻 MOMENT. I had been listening since there were 2 hosts, and really got into it when I went full time with the blog during our first year posted to Gagetown. I found my colourful voice, and started making things like this beautiful glossy blue sideboard. 
There wasn’t really anyone else doing “colour” my way in the decor space at that time (everything was white farmhouse). And while there are definitely many more who do it now (and who do it better!), I’ll never forget the freedom I felt when no one was watching what I did. It has been so incredibly bittersweet watching new accounts lap me in a matter of months (and oh so humbling), but I like to think I’m exactly where I need to be. 
My growth has been slow by today’s standards, and I’m ok with it. I still get to do what I love. 
So, if you’ve been following me since then, the very beginning, or last week - stick around! Let’s see what the next stage is like.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

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]
