Spring Bedding Switch + My Secret Resource for Bedding

I’ve been on the hunt for a navy blue quilt for our master bedroom since we updated it last fall. Y’all, finding the perfect quilt isn’t easy and it wasn’t until a reader asked me a question about another item in my home that it dawned on me, she said, “I checked eBay and found one there.” That really peaked my interested and not even two minutes later, I was on eBay search for bedding and I found the quilt of my dreams. Now, it’s become my secret resource for bedding.

A Great Resource for Bedding

Feast your eyes on my dream quilt. I wanted a lightweight blanket for the end of the bed that could also be used as a primary blanket in the warmer months.

This coverlet is everything I could have wanted. It’s super light, quilted, and the perfect shade of blue. I’m partial to the navy but it comes in two other colors as well! The blue color of the quilt reminds me of a washed linen which makes it feel more casual and comfy. The coverlet also came with two standard shams that are just as soft and comfy.

I also ordered a knit throw blanket and pillow cover in a warm ivory color. I love the contrast between them and the cool blue of the coverlet set.

The girls are loving snuggling up in here after school for a movie and rest time, and I can’t blame them because it’s pretty cozy.

When I headed over to eBay, I discovered that there were tons new items with the “Buy It Now” options so I didn’t have to fuss with bidding. In fact, 81% of all items sold on eBay are new and available with the “Buy It Now” option, so no bidding necessary! Not only are there tons of options on eBay, many of them ship free and can be at your doorstep in three days. Plus, they offer a Money Back Guarantee.

eBay should definitely be in your regular list of retailers to check out no matter what you’re looking for. Before you buy something ask yourself “Did you check eBay?”

Spring is the best time to refresh your bedding.

Here are some more great bedding options from eBay that I love:

    I bought my bedding off eBay as well! My hometown used to have a discount store that received closeouts from Bloomingdales, Target, and surprise high-end retailers (you never knew what they’d have when you went in there!) One day I saw a man with his cart LOADED with stuff. Certainly he couldn’t be buying that all for himself! I realized he was reselling it and a friend told me that people were making profits selling discount merchandise on eBay from discount stores. Since then, I have used eBay for bedding, my clothing, and my children’s clothing. My hubby gets his clothing from there too! It’s really my greatest secret too ☺️ I’m glad you are on to it as well!

      Amazing! You could have seen the light bulb go off in my mind when this reader mentioned eBay! I’m now looking for all things on eBay first. Such a great resource!

    Very nice bedding. I agree with your children. It looks like the perfect place for a rest. Just as it should. I have bought several things on ebay when I couldn’t find them elsewhere. Thank you for sharing your wonderful find.

    Hi Chelsea,
    I love your sense of style! Cozy, functional, & fun. My beau & I moved into a handy man special, he’s handy and he’s the man! We knocked out a wall between 2 bedrooms and are making it into a master suite. I’ve got a new closet that might be big enough : ) for me. It is slow going between us working and do it yourselfing. I’m thinking of decorating the bedroom in peaches and cream with rose color gold or something like that. The room now has 4 windows, the one in front is big not in height but in width. Any suggestions as to window treatments?
    Linda

    I know this is an older post but could you tell me the brand name of your blue quilt/coverlet? The link takes me to eBay but the quilt that shows is different than the one you have (the quilted pattern isn’t the same). Thanks!

      Hi Maria, It’s from Ink+Ivy and the quilt is called “Morris” – I hope you can find it!

#ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy #ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy a shower caddy and stuff it full of art supplies to keep your kids from having their markers and crayons all over the place. For real though, this was a game changer. Previously, I had one hard and heavy caddy for all of our supplies that I would plop on the table during our school day but I found my kids constantly getting up to grab a pink crayon or the blue marker. Or at the end of the day things weren’t getting put away properly and the next day we couldn’t find the glue or the scissors. Now, they each have a caddy that they are responsible for. I’ve partnered with @walmart to share this simple organizing solution. The girls keep their supplies together and carry the caddy around to wherever they choose to school that day/minute. I used my Walmart+ membership again to pull this off. I was able to order all the art caddy necessities online using the W+ free shipping, no order minimum (excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items) benefit so I can limit my time in stores. #walmartplus
Sitting here thinking about everything that’s go Sitting here thinking about everything that’s gotten me through this last year.
1. My family - having my girls home has been everything I never knew I needed. 
1a. My mom - in those early pandemic days, when we didn’t leave the house, she would meet me halfway between here and Vegas. We would sit in the middle of the desert with our masks on and just visit. I needed that so much and I know she did too.
2. My friends - it’s hard to imagine making it through this year without the friendships I have. They’ve carried me. A small group of neighbors here that would meet at the park for some outdoor fellowship and our weekly dinners made life feel a little more normal. Having regular calls with my best friend in FL was gold especially since we can’t see each other. And regular chats with @bykaithanson got me through especially in those early days.
3. Regular therapy - if I wasn’t already going before all this happened I surely would need to now. This all is very heavy stuff and having someone that is outside your circle to talk to is so important. This saves me again and again.
4. Making bread. I started making last year so when it blew up during that first quarantine I was so excited that we all were baking together. Whenever I’m feeling anxious making dough helps.
5. Exercise - this was the year I finally made exercise a priority. I love how much better I feel when I move my body each day. I’m less anxious and I’m more at peace.
6. All the technology that connects us. Marco Polo, FaceTime, texting, FB Messenger, all of it. Being able to reach all of my loved ones with the tips of my fingers has made it a lot easier when I can’t see them.
7. Television - how many shows have we binged this year? I don’t even know but I remember tackling Friday Night Lights in the beginning of the pandemic and being so sad it was over. 
8. This community. One thing I wanted in 2020 was to CONNECT with you all here and that has happened and its been wonderful getting to know each of you!
💙
We’ve been through a lot this year what has carried you? Tag a friend that’s gotten you through. 
Hoping and praying for a truly happy new year. 💙💙
