this is the first year and summer for the both of us that we have had to live without air-conditioning. our bedding situation was driving camden crazy. sleeping in an eighty degree house with a sheet, blanket, and comforter is a bit overwhelming. even though i love sleeping with the heavy weight of the cozy covers on top of me, i knew it was time to change it up. i switched out our darker patterned sheets for cool, white, crisp ones and threw our comforter into storage until next winter. keeping our covers in a neutral, lighter color gives the room a sense that it’s cooler than it really is. i got that brown and cream blanket with the intention of having it cover the entire bed, then layering the cream blanket over top for just a pop of pattern but realized shortly after purchasing it that it was going to be too small so it sadly just barely covers our feet. however, i like that it adds a bit of visual interest to the room, plus kramer has obviously taken a liking to it. i also brought in some paper flowers for our nightstand and finally got around to making ourselves one of my lights. with lighter weight covers mixed with a fan that blows throughout the night, hopefully we can get (and sleep) through this summer alive.

also, i just had to take a few a lot of pictures of the krames since we are leaving him for a few weeks and will miss him to death.

p.s. thank you all for your brilliant ideas and comments on the england post the other day. we are both so thankful and excited to check out some of the things suggested! xoxo
