When Surfer Boy left home to join the Navy, Darling Daughter decided she wanted his larger room! So a coat of fresh paint (Dulux Whisper White), new super soft carpet, new Luxaflex plantation shutters and new white furniture where needed. After all that Darling Daughter and I went hunting for the perfect bed linen. This proved to be a difficult task. We picked up some beautiful white Sheridan pure cotton damask striped sheets but finding a quilt cover set was more problematic. As you know I'm a keen thrift shopper and I mentioned to Darling Daughter I had a collection of pure cotton vintage sheets stashed away. So while she was at school one day I ripped and sewed, and now she has a reversible striped quilt cover with a button opening at the bottom and a pair of quilt as you go pillowslips. She loves this quilt set better than anything we saw in the shops and then we started adding some bits and pieces to her room make it more personalised. Picked up the great lamp at Freedom and string of paper lanterns and Paris inspired canvas artwork at Typo. The pair of turtle doves ornament was particularly revolting when I found it at a local charity store so I sprayed it pale turquoise and it looks great now. My 17 year old loves her new room and that is all that matters!

Oh wow that looks amazing!! As soon as my kids are bit older, I'm earning to sow....
That's stunning! I love the fresh, crisp cleanness of it all... I hope it stays that way, haha! If it was mine when I was a teenager, it certainly wouldn't have!
Congrats on the Vintage Sheet blog feature :)

The vintage sheets look beautiful in stripes. You've created an amazing space. x
