Best Product: Pottery Barn's Classic Bedding

We've been slowly putting together a handful of model apartments for our day job over the past few months, and have finally gotten down to layering the finer points like bedding. Finding expensive-looking, hotel style duvet covers and shams has proven strangely difficult, as it seems most everything available looks either like a Dwell Studio knockoff, or like something from the Fingerhut catalog circa the mid-90s (or circa whenever, really) ...

So we were surprised to discover that Pottery Barn, of all places, has several great collections available for less-than-outrageous prices. The Morgan collection for example, pictured above, runs $229 for a full/ queen sized duvet cover, and several colorways (green, blue, and red) are presently on sale for $160.

The Pearl embroidered collection is even less expensive, with multiple colors available. A full/ queen cover is $99.

Granted, we're sure the quality is not quite as amazing as the classic Matouk or Pratesi styles they emulate, but the price is unbeatable. They'll even monogram them for you!

Check ebay for similar PB styles from past seasons (but still classic looks)

Yolanda, I've done that with my sewing machine using the tightest zigzag stitch. It's a great trick for pillow shams that are too big for my pillows. I add another wide band around the sham using this stitch. It's so easy. If you lightly mark where you want your the decorative stitch then you can go over it with the thread and hide the marks. Try it on scrap fabric first and you'll see how easy it is.

take a look at Target; the Fieldcrest Luxury line is an affordable alternative. Also check out TJMaxx, Marshall's, and Tuesday Morning for great deals on some very luxurious bed linens.
