Time to Get Cozy – Quilts

Posted on November 5, 2014 by Julie

It’s rainy and chilly here today.

Time to cozy up with a blanket. Better yet, a quilt.

I just love the look of a quilt. I wish I had a collection of them.

Like many of my would-be collections, they reside on Pinterest until I can make them a reality.

You can see my quilt collection here.

There is just something about a quilt that is just so darned cozy. Don’t you agree?

Of course, my fave, Sarah Richardson really knows how to use a vintage quilt in a stunning way.

And, Kelly at the Polished Pebble, has such a rustic flair with her antique quilts:

Holly Mathis adds such cozy, rustic comfort to her boys’ room with solid Pottery Barn quilts showing you they don’t have to be vintage or patterned to look amazing.

I love how these are displayed in a cute armoire. LOVE.

You can count on Country Living to show off a beautiful quilt or two.

I also love how this quilt is used as a table cloth. Lovely.

I Have a Thing for Quilts

There is just something about a quilt that is just so darned cozy.

Of course, my fave, Sarah Richardson really knows how to use a vintage quilt in a stunning way.

I love, love, love them! I don’t have a collection of vintage quilts but I would like to someday. The price tag usually chases me off and the fact that I don’t know where I would put them right now! I would love a little armoire full of an antique quilt — or any quilt — collection. So fun!

I have quilts/coverlets in each of my bedrooms. None of them are old or vintage. Each one reflects the style of it’s inhabitant.

My daughter, who is 7, likes bright, vibrant colors and would have bright teal walls in her room if I let her! This circle quilt is from PB Teen. (Excuse the masculine headboard…I’m on the hunt for something girlier.)

My son, likes blues and reds. These blue quilted coverlets were on clearance at Dillard’s a few years back and there were two of them — score!

Finally, our master bedroom has the dark browns that my husband prefers because I didn’t want to get too frilly in here for his taste. I found this quilted coverlet at Overstock for less than 50 bucks…awesome when you consider the cost for bedding for a king-sized bed!

Kitty likes it too!

If I had a guest room — or better yet, a lake house — it would definitely have brightly colored quilts and would have the feeling of this room from The Lettered Cottage:

I love that little embroidered pillow from IKEA. I look at it every time I’m there and wonder where I could put it in my home. I also have this quilted pillow sham from Pottery Barn just waiting for a home:

I never bought the quilt because I didn’t know where to put it. Now it’s discontinued and I’m kicking myself! But, at least I have the sham for a future bed someday. I just love all these colors and the fabrics used.

Do you have a collection of something you love in your home?
