Bringing the Garden Inside through Earthy Linens

I love being inside our home— I do. But I’ve found that, in this time of far-reaching, heightened stress, being outside works wonders on my attitude. 

I’ve been testing out ways of bringing the feeling of being outdoors into our bedroom to help counter the spike in anxiety I feel overnight. 

We have windows in our headboard, so I trained the grapevine to run along the wall behind the bed, where its bright, wide leaves brush against the glass beneath the trailing plants on our built-in bookshelf. 

The greenery continues on the other side of the room, where trumpet vines spill from an overhead living canopy just beyond the French doors. 

To visually connect all of these elements throughout the bedroom, we added 100% linen sheets in this Earthy green hue. So far I’m enjoying how it unites this small space without visually cluttering it.

I always prefer linen sheets. First of all, they’re breathable (which helps, as we have no AC here in our tiny, coastal home)

Additionally, they don’t cling to dog hair as much as other fabrics seem to.

They get softer with every wash, and they line-dry quickly, helping us cut back on energy usage and costs.

Lastly, I find them simply beautiful.

West keeps saying, “Mom— I love our new bed!” (So do I, West.)
