I truly have been waiting for this post for a long time and I’m super excited about it. I was dreaming about it ever since I picked my new rug at my hometown rug dealer this summer in Germany. Do you remember seeing it in my Instagram feed? I was like a kid in a candy store because there were so many beautiful ones but the size mattered and it had to fit in my rooms.

So today I’m super excited to show you some updates that go more with the rest of my home. It’s easy to change a look with accessories if you have some timeless key pieces like my bed and chaise. Both are sadly not available anymore. I received a new duvet cover and shams from my favorite bedding company which is Crane & Canopy who generously sent me the Linden Black Border Duvet and Shams (click HERE). Do you remember my coral and blush look from a while back with the their duvet? Click HERE if you missed it. It is classic, stylish and luxurious, highest quality extra long staple cotton, with weaves ranging in the 300-400 thread count bedding and I’m clearly a huge fan. The photos say it all! I love the simple and elegant look that can be transformed quickly for different looks with the right accessories.

They also sell their sheets separately so if you don’t use a top sheet you don’t need to purchase one. This is a pet peeve of mine because in Germany you don’t use a top sheet and I hate buying sheets which have one which always goes straight into my paint cover stash. Tell me I’m not the only one who hates top sheets? All this girl needs is a beautiful duvet cover. I also love that their duvets have corner ties and easy care zippers. Ain’t nobody have time for buttons, a zipper is so much better.

And lets talk about that throw shall we? It’s a show stopper and works well with everything else in the room. It is the pyramids throw (HERE) from Happy Habitat by Karrie Kaneda. You can read more about Karrie HERE and how funny and awesome she is. I know for sure that this throw will be in a forever rotation at my house because it is so versatile and gorgeous. (Love THIS one from her too which is very similar)

I knew I was heading into a more neutral direction for fall and winter before heading to Germany when I posted about my living room HERE. So when it was time to pick a rug over the summer, I knew what I was looking for.

black and white bedroomIt is a true vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain rug and I couldn’t love it more. My hometown rug shop has a shop on 1stdibs too which you can see HERE. And in case you missed my new flooring post over the summer, you can see the new bamboo floors by clicking HERE. I love how everything looks and having a bedroom that makes me so happy. When I received my rug, I wanted to place it into my living room though. It would also look so so pretty layered on top of my other rug and I might still do that this winter for a more cozy winter look. black and white bedroom

I love a little added color too. I found this cranberry pillow in one of my stashes and I might put it right there on my chaise whenever I feel like I need a little more color.

You guys probably think I’m slightly obsessed with changing things up and you are right. It’s way too much fun and I love doing it. Meanwhile I’ve been working on some other things and severely dragging my feet with my staircase project. Talk to you on Wednesday.

Tschüß,

      Oh yes!!! I forgot that Emmy has the bedding too. I truly love it!

    Your bedroom looks great, Julia! The black and bedding compliments everything in your room nicely. We don’t like using the top sheets either. I cracked up when I read that yours go straight to the paint cover!

    • Julia says

      October 12, 2015 at 12:52 pm

      Thanks Brandi I’m never short of paint covers in my house 😉

      Our kids don’t use a top sheet either so I put both the top and bottom on the bed and tuck the top sheet around the top of the bed. Then I let them sleep ontop of the top sheet for a week- then rip the top sheet off to reveal the fitted sheet below and put a new set of their favorite blankets on the bed and voila – pretty much new sheets on the bed weekly and I only actually have to change the sheets twice a month.

        Very clever

    Oh my! I had no idea that you could buy sheets individually. I hate top sheets as well! So funny. Also, I ADORE that rug and the bedding. It looks amazing. I really love how you are able to change your room for the different seasons. It keeps it fresh and fun.

    • Julia says

      October 12, 2015 at 12:51 pm

      I should be working on my stairs instead of refreshing my bedroom but this is so much more fun 😉 and thanks so much. I do love changing this up all the time for sure.

    Love the new look. Everything complements each other so beautifully and looks very polished.

      Thanks so so much!

    Wow..Is that a REAL tree on the bedside table? Great idea!

    • Julia says

      October 12, 2015 at 12:50 pm

      Nope it’s actually not a real tree Carol. I’ve had it for a really really long time and it is from the former Bombay Company. It’ looks real though and I love it. It’s perfect for our high bedroom ceilings.

    October 12, 2015 at 12:41 pm

    Gorgeous! I love the neutrals so, so much! And that rug is to die for. That’s so funny- I can’t sleep WITHOUT a top sheet. Send yours to me! 😉

    • Julia says

      October 12, 2015 at 12:49 pm

      Thanks Shannon, the worst is when the sheet is tucked in tightly at the bottom and I can’t get my legs to hang out. My kids hate that too.

    Love that rug!! I’m also obsessed with my crane and canopy bedding!

    • Julia says

      October 14, 2015 at 6:49 am

      It truly is awesome bedding and goes perfectly with my new love aka the rug.

    Love all the patterns and textures. ..we crazy to change things around so often, but you are right, that’s the fun part. My friends always think I am crazy, but hey…crazy is good, right?:-) Your new rug rocks my friend!

    • Julia says

      October 14, 2015 at 6:49 am

    Hi Julia,

    I love your room!!! And I like how that brass skull complements your leopard pillow! So wild yet so classy!

    • Julia says

      October 14, 2015 at 6:46 am

    I love all the black and white! And that rug! so beautiful, and it looks like it will be so cozy in there for winter; it looks perfect against the new floors.

    • Julia says

      October 14, 2015 at 6:46 am

    Where did you get the table lamps? I love them!

    • Julia says

      February 9, 2016 at 10:02 am

      Hi Courtney. I bought the lamp at Bombay Company a long time ago. It looks silver in the photos but is almost like a mixture between gold and silver. Sometimes it looks gold and sometimes it looks silver. This lamp here: http://rstyle.me/~7nkYg is the closest to it I could find. Sorry I can’t help you more.

      • Courtney says

        February 9, 2016 at 10:14 am

        Thank you so much for getting back to me! I love the urn shape of the lamp. I’m going to tell everyone about your website – I love it!!

    I love your rug! Where did you get it?

    • Julia says

      February 9, 2016 at 8:25 pm

      My rug is actually an original Beni Ourain rug from a shop in my German home town who also has a 1stDibs shop online.

    What is the paint color? I love it!!!

      Vielen Dank Julia! Ich find in Deutschland ist es noch schwerer schöne Möbel zubinden als hier. Meine Schwägerin schimpft immer. And thank you for the kind words about my blog. I really appreciate it 😉
