Luxury bed linens for Kassandra

Even though the bedroom of Kassandra's summer home is finished, she still isn't pleased with the bed.  She still does not know if she will keep the mahogany bed, or if she will replace it for a much modern black metal bed.

But in the meantime, she said her current bed looked awful, and she has been busy perusing the webs for a nice coverlet.  Given her taste, she has difficulty in finding fabrics she likes, specially modern ones.  However, she found on Facebook (yeah, she is on Facebook, although I do not know who taught her how to use it) a lovely seller from which she bought a nice bedding set.

Today it arrived, and she asked for help in dressing up the bed.  So first we took the bedding out of the bag and tried it on for the effect:

She wasn't happy that the current bed cover was visible underneath the pillows
So, we decided to take it all off again, and start a complete makeover.  We took the mattress out of its place, and stripped it of the bolster.

The bed, as it came to us.  The linen is all wrinkled too, argh!



Then we ironed a piece of red satin fabric (it was remnants of when I used to make wedding ring pillows). 

It is a gorgeous fabric!
We cut it to measure, and we took out the glue gun to fix it in place.  It was easy enough!



So shiny!
It was piece of cake to dress it up with the quilt and the pillows!

Even though it is a different red and a different fabric, Kassandra is happy with the final result

An inviting bed to rest on! I wonder who gave her the flowers, and what is inside that MAC bag...
The gorgeous bedding came from LTW Miniatures.  She makes lovely bedding sets for single and double beds, and pillows too.  Go check her out!
