Luxurious Custom Bedding

Care to know what $42.00 a yard looks like? Well here it is. The main component of this material grouping is a golden taupe silk with a large tonal stitching. It has such a great hand we didn't even line it. The 3 large euro shams are piped in an icy blue dupioni silk to match the reverse of the coverlet, so that when this couple turns down their bed they get a contrasting color. It also helps to break up all the taupe. Below you see a window to the left of the bed. We did embroidered chenille in brown and blue. A simple pleat across the top keeps the panels from being too busy. I chose a simple antique brass rod and rings not to distract from the beautiful fabric and to coordinate with the pulls on their furniture.

Below is the other double window in the room. We did 2 double width panels so that when the panels functyioned to meet in the center there was still that extra amount of fullness to look nice and not skimpy.
I wanted to show the foot of this sleigh bed because we really love the idea of folding down this expensive coverlet at night for practicality. What keeps the coverlet on the bed? The fitted corners we put to fit thew foot of the mattress. Now they don't have those big floppy triangles flapping on the corners of their bed and gives a more custom look.
A striped material was chosen to create a large bolster pillow. This king is very wide and alot of the pillow forms ready for purchase appeared way too small for this grouping so I chose a large roll of batting to fill the space for less money than a custom ordered pillow. Upholstered buttons secure tightly to the cinched ends of this pillow.


Never worked with such gorgeous and luxurious materials before. They are all still available at the Fabric House!
