Project Bedroom Bright: The Bed

The most substantial part of my bedroom makeover plan was replacing our 20 yr. old mattress. We got a great deal (thank you slickdeals.net) on a W Hotel bed and bought the oh-so-fluffy featherbed to go with it too.

I love it. The plush mattress is a bit firm for my taste (by itself- which I expected), but even still, it was so much nicer than the old mattress! And with the featherbed on, it's like sleeping on a cloud! So soft and dreamy! And it's changed the whole feel of the bed, seeing as the old mattress was 7" thick, and this one is 11" plus the featherbed!

We also updated the bedding for a crisp, clean, all-white look! A poofy white comforter from Marshall's, striped sheets from Target, a great duvet cover from Overstock, and some chic, bold pillows from Marshall's round out my new favorite place to be... and Jesse's (clearly). I look forward to some quality sleep time there this weekend! I know I haven't posted any 'full' room shots of the bed, but that's because the things surrounding it are still mid-transition. You'll see them all soon enough though! :)
