Ever since reading Shabby Chic founder Rachel Ashwell's Couture Prairie book last year, I have been dreaming of white linen ruffled bedding...
My Mom, in a true labor of love, custom made us this bedding for my birthday/Christmas gift this year. She did an amazing job!
Part of the fun was getting to personalize the bedding. My mom and I looked through a lot of pictures. I would tell her what elements I liked best. (Am I dreaming?!)
We decided on a medium-weight, vintage-washed linen for an understated elegance.

The king-size duvet and shams have a 5-inch ruffle.
The euro shams have a 6-inch ruffle.
Did you know that the more you wash linen, the softer it becomes?
I especially like the double ruffle bedskirt, with soft tattered raw edges.
All-in-all, it took about 30 yards of linen (!) to make the king-size duvet, shams, euro shams and bedskirt. After searching many places, we ordered the linen fabric from fabrics-store.com in LA.
A huge "Thank you!" to my Mom for this tailor-made heirloom bedding. I will cherish it!
And thank you, in advance, to my three precious sons for remembering that Mom and Dad's room is now a chocolate-free zone! ;)
So glad you stopped by today. I hope to complete some finishing touches to our master bedroom in the coming months. I'll keep you posted...
Hope your week is going well!
