How to craft a comfortable and stylish bed

August 29, 2022 By Anna Groves 2 Comments

I spent a weekend at my friend Ginger’s house (owner of Urbanology Designs and HGTV designer of the year in 2021) and slept in the most comfortable bed! 

So I asked her for help to make my bed more comfortable and now I’ll share it with you!

Start with these 3 foundational elements: 

  1. Thick memory foam mattress pad
  2. Fluffy Mattress topper
  3. Duvet

Next is the Bedding:

The bedding I choose is the Linen Bedding Set in their Olive color and the Solid Sand Duvet Cover in from Citizenry.  

For the pillows, I bought four; two for each person and matched the size to the size of my bed! – thanks for the tip, Ginger

Now, we’ll put it all together. 

  1. Start with the fitted sheet
  2. Next, the flat sheet (take your flat sheet all the way up to the top)
  3. For the duvet, drape it ⅓ back over to create some asymmetry and added fluffiness! 

Ginger shares on her Instagram how she makes a bed that hugs you but is also stylish and beautiful (saved here in her highlights) adding that she layers her bedding with light blankets to create more dimension. 

Accents and styling tips for your bed: 

For decorative pillows, get an insert that is bigger than your cover. I used two of these pillows and one of these lumbar pillows on the bed. Tip: thin sheet-style blankets will add even more texture and a throw blanket to really finish the whole look. ​​

To watch the progression of creating this bed, check out my highlight here! 

Questions about my bedroom: 

The headboard was a DIY project, you can read all about it here!

The board and batten wall behind my bed was also a DIY project, linked here!

I wrote about dark wall colors here and this is the exact black that I picked for this room!

My rug is sold out 9×11 but they have other sizes available!  

My Dresser and nightstand are from West Elm and my pillows can be found here!

I can’t wait to see your bedroom transformation!

This is for the ladies who keep buying straight je This is for the ladies who keep buying straight jeans but never want to wear them because you can’t figure out why they just never look “right.” So, you go back to your skinnies. (Which is fine, if you want to keep doing that- this is for the ones who want to make a change!) 
 
CUT THEM or hem them, and try again :) 
 
The length is usually perfect if it’s at the bottom of your ankle bone or just above. Try it! Give yourself room for error, and cut! 
 
Now you can wear them with a lot more shoes (not just your heeled open toes) and even boots and flats! 
 
PS- I like to keep some of my straights long, just to wear with higher heels for a “stovepipe” look!  And I cut some for this kind of versatility:). Perfect if you’re trying to transition out of skinnies.  
 
**This can apply to wide legs, boot cuts and flares too! I keep some long, and shorten some so I have a variety of looks** 
 
Lmk if you try it!

Giving Rob a facial with @loved01skin - I think he Giving Rob a facial with @loved01skin - I think he loved it! It’s a new skincare line by @johnlegend that’s accessible to all and for everyone- formulated with melanin-rich skin in mind since it loses moisture faster.

It’s official. It’s an epidemic. My DM’s we It’s official. It’s an epidemic.  My DM’s were flooded with more messages than I have ever received.  
 
I transparently shared that I’ve been lonely.  And that even though I have God, my family, and a wonderful online community, there’s nothing like being with friends who know you well.  Who you don’t have to do anything with, except just… be.  
 
In therapy about a month ago, my counselor said: “you need to see your friends..” We’ve been in a new state for 3.5 years and I still have not found community.  She said, “whatever it takes. They meet you halfway, you go to them, or they come to you.  It’s important.” 
 
She is right. There’s nothing like being with people who love and know you … for you.  
 
When I shared, you said that you are lonely, too.  I tell you all this because I am holding myself accountable, and hope to encourage you.  Talk to your friends and see what you can make happen as often as you can. And let’s put effort into new friendships, too.  
 
In the meantime, my first meeting is in the books and I’ve scheduled dates for the rest of the year to see my closest friends.  
 
So grateful for my friend Ginger. Her Airbnb near Fort Worth is so beautiful, yes, but it’s the love and care you feel there that matters the most.
So the thing is this… Rob and I have said for ye So the thing is this… Rob and I have said for years that we don’t care much about Valentine’s Day- we say it’s really just another day for us… but I decided to make him a little custom diy croc v day gift as a joke … and then this man goes and surprises me with a staycation, dinner, massage (complete with massage table in our room- and massage by him!) and all I had to give him were these dang diy croc jibbets on an old pair of crocs 😂😂😂. Sooooooo I’ll make it up to you next year. Ok, @robtotheg ?? Or maybe we go back to v day means nothing 😅 I LOVE youuuu and I’m sorrrryyyyyyyyy I trolled youuuuuu 😅🤓😩 you’re the best everrrr!!!!!!
