My mom always told me that I like to march to the beat of my own drums. I have never been one to follow the “norm.” I choose to be different and unique. I’ve always been that way.
My home reflects my eclectic tastes. I have mismatched furniture, my desk is covered with toys (my toys – not toys belonging to kids) and I have rat and mice wall decals on my walls and doors. I know that sounds strange but I put the rats and mice around our home for Halloween a couple of years ago. I thought they looked cute so I kept them up. They look realistic too.
I’m a fun person. I’m a kid trapped in a forth-something year old body. I adore things that are whimsical, cute and colorful. I’m all about having fun and making people feel welcome in my home.
Growing up my parents had a formal living room. It looked like something out of a magazine. Everything in that room looked perfect. As a child I wasn’t even allowed in the room. Call me crazy, but how is that living? I want my home to reflect me and I’m certainly not boring and stuffy.
My husband and I don’t have a real bed. We sleep in the living room on a sofa bed. That is one of the disadvantages of living in a shoe box sized condo. I dream of the day I can have a REAL bed in our own bedroom.
A few weeks ago I was sent information about a new product line from Martha Stewart. I adore Martha Stewart products from home and home wares to pet products (did you know the Martha Stewart brand has pet products?). I joke with family and friends all the time that if we had a bigger home I would turn into Martha Stewart. There are so many things I want to do that I have seen her do on TV and in her magazine, it’s just that our home is not conducive to those things. If given the opportunity I would totally turn into Martha Stewart and host lavish parties and make my home the envy of every home on the block.
Martha Stewart’s new product line is called Whim™. Whim™ is an exclusive bedding and dinnerware collection from Martha Stewart that is available only at Macy’s, both online and in stores.
The Whim™ product line includes comforter sets, sheets and quilts in playful prints and colors, as well as colorful dinnerware.
I was given the opportunity to review a bedding set from the Whim™ collection. Some people might wonder why someone who sleeps on a sofa bed would want a nice bedding set. It’s for that very reason why I wanted to do the review. Just because I can’t have a real bed doesn’t mean that I don’t want my bed to look inviting and cozy. There is no reason why my bed can’t look as nice and well made as regular bed.
I was sent to review the Whim™ Pretty in Poppy Bed-in-a-Bag set and my choice of sheets. I love the choices I had from the Whim™ collection. I could have picked pink flamingo sheets, turquoise polka dots or zebras. I was leaning towards the pink flamingo sheets but my hubby thought that was too “girly” so I went with the turquoise polka dots.
The great thing about the Whim™ collection is that nothing is supposed to match. It’s all supposed to be fun and whimsical.
Our bed in a bag set even included two throw pillows with mismatched patterns.
Even though nothing truly matches, when you put it all together it really does work well together.
The comforter, colorful polka dot throw pillow, blue throw pillow and poppy print pillow cases all came with the bed in a bag set. The white sheets and pillow cases with the turquoise polka dots were a separate set from the Whim™ collection. Those are the sheets I could have gone with the zebras or flamingos. I think I made a nice choice.
Here are some other photos of our beautiful bedding. Even our cat Bella approves.
Not only is the bedding colorful and fun, it’s also VERY comfortable. I love cuddling with my hubby under the comforter. It’s thick and fluffy. Our old comforter was so old that it was pretty much flat. It’s so nice to have a fluffy one again.
With it finally being Spring time it was also nice to put away our drab flannel sheets and make things more colorful and cheery with a new bedding set.
Our Whim™ bedding is great for Spring, Summer and year round. In fact I am thinking about getting other sheets (like the pink flamingos) so that we can swap out the sheet sets throughout the year.
The new Whim™ collection from Martha Stewart also includes very colorful dinnerware that can be mixed and matched too.
I am loving this new collection. I can’t wait to see what else Whim™ has in store.
For more information about this fun, colorful collection visit your local Macy’s store or shop Macy’s online at www.Macys.com. You can also fine Macy’s, and the Martha Stewart brand, on social media.
