Between the Sheets

Investing in my bedroom's most important asset with Snowe.

Until this year, my bedroom has always been the place in my home that I spent the least time in, and therefore the least time designing. To me, it's always been more about function over aesthetic and comfort. Making sure everything was easily accessible and organized was my  main priority.

Fast-forward to the present day and I've finally realized that my bedroom should be a sanctuary, not just a storage unit. So I decided to start at the focal point of any bedroom: the bed. I had already updated mine a couple years back with the purchase of the Yogabed mattress (I seriously cannot recommend it more), followed by the addition of a DIY headboard crafted from a found door on the street (you can see a couple glimpses above)... so all it came down to was the sheets. 

Like the boxed-foam-mattress concept, there are a million new luxury bedding companies out there. It wasn't until I paid a visit to Snowe's chic, Flatiron atelier that I finally decided to go with their Sateen Set after experiencing firsthand how silky and soft to the touch it was. Plus I loved that it wasn't overly shiny like most sateen can be. The cost isn't cheap, but when you think of sheets like investing in a great bag or shoe, the price tag is 100% worth it. Forget cost-per-wear... this is all about cost-per-sleep! And trust me: the equation is pretty much skewed in your favor considering how much time we spend in our beds.

The only downside to creating a perfectly cozy, welcoming & fresh bed slash escape? Let's just say, it's a lot tougher to get up in the morning. But that's what double espressos are for anyway, amiright?
