Cities have so much to offer in the way of culture, excitement, food, and fun, but in exchange for all that fabulousness, we cityfolk give up something precious: a starry sky. Stars scattered on sheets can never take the place of those jewels in the sky, but they certainly can't hurt... More

Pillowcases, duvet covers, sheets, and bed spreads can all be ruined with a conspicuous stain. It's unfortunate when perfectly good, intact bedding is cast away because of a spot here and there, or because of general dinginess. Rather than buying new, dye your bedding instead! It's a great way to cover stains or update a color. Either way, it'll prolong the life of something you already own and be cost effective to boot. The results may delight you, making you like it better than before.

This selection of blankets delves into everything from the striking addition to your sofa, to the plush foot warmer, to the best insulator for those chilly evenings at home. More

There is something comforting about crisp white bed linens. They feel clean and fresh and literally resemble fluffy white clouds that invite deep sleep. But, a classic white bed can also be boring if not placed in the right design context. Dark walls provide a stark contrast that make white bedding look sophisticated and even bold.

Those of us with bedrooms with neutral walls and generally soft color palletes sometimes forget how wonderful and versatile a little black and white can be in a bedspread or pillow. The basic black and white combination can give a room an edge or a touch of modern spark. Or it can serve a more nuanced effect, providing a graphic dimension without compromising a room's otherwise calming and monochromatic tone (as a bright blue or red would, for example).
