Christmas Bedding

I have always loved seeing holiday sheets on the various blogs I frequent.  It adds a festive touch throughout the house.  This is something I really wish I would have splurged on when the kids were little.  The Pottery Barn Kids sets are so cute and whimsical!

Now that Grace and Jack are older, I didn't think they would go for character sheets in their rooms, even for the holidays.  But I still wanted to add a touch of Christmas throughout the house.  Here's what I came up with.

In Jack's room, I added some red flannel sheets from Target.  This plaid looks masculine, and the sheets are so soft.  I was really surprised about the high quality for less than $20.

Jack really enjoyed the Peanuts movie, and our dog Albie kind of reminds us of Snoopy.  So I thought a Christmas Snoopy Pillow would be fun.  Pottery Barn Teen has lots of fun bedding, but it can be expensive.  A pillow cover is a less expensive way to add a touch of Pottery Barn charm to the room.

The Peanuts products at PBTeen were super popular.  At one point, I had the pillow in my cart and it was sold out later that day.  Luckily, they restocked and I was able to order.  Now they are sold out of almost everything.

I knew that Grace would not want any characters WHATSOEVER.  So I went for more of a funky, not-so-over-the-top Christmas look for her bedding.  I picked up another set of flannel sheets from Target.  These were again less than $20 and include pink and aqua designs that sort of resemble geometric snow flakes.

The furry pillow is also from Target for $19.  She can continue to use this with her regular bedding throughout the year.

Both kids have little trees in their rooms that are decorated with simple lights and balls.  Fun and cute, but not really photo-worthy!

For our bedroom, I absolutely knew that I did not want flannel sheets.  This mama gets hot at night, if you know what I mean!  And I love the look of beds with layers of blankets, quilts, and comforters that are often displayed.  But on the practical side, we just don't need many layers here in Houston.  It rarely drops below 45 at night.  So I decided to keep it simple.

I kept our white sheets on the bed.  (Costco sheets are my favorite.)  I added this plaid flannel duvet from Martha Stewart at Macy's.  The quality is great.  I plan to use it through February for Valentine's Day, and then switch back to our regular bedding.  Maybe I'll add the red sweater knit "Love" pillow from Pottery Barn?  And the "merry" pillow is from Home Goods...they have great pillows!

Do you add touches of Christmas decor to your bedrooms?  Or maybe even a tree?
