We're thrilled to see our Bella Notte Olivia lace pillow cases featured in the March issue of Style at Home. The 'Out of the Blue' article, features up-and-coming designer Stacey Cohen's new Toronto condo. We love how she created the illusion of a headboard with just some paint and a stencil. And if we may say so ourselves, the lace pillow cases are the perfect finishing touch to her ultra feminine bed. (Thank you to Ann Marie over at Style at Home for thinking of us!)

Bella Notte pillow cases, $163 each. Available in store.

Considering it's Family Day this Monday (here in Ontario, Canada), many of you will probably be entertaining friends or family this weekend. We thought it would be the perfect time to share some beautiful guest bedroom ideas.

We'd love to see your beautiful beds (maybe your guest room beds), so send them our way! You can submit your images to joanna@aulitfinelinens.com.

"...it’s taking me a while to finish this one because, well, my bed is so cozy. If the novel I’m reading doesn’t have a compelling enough plot, I tend to drift off pretty quickly. A Moveable Feast, as delicious as it is, just can’t compete with the powerful lulling effect of my reading place."    - Joanna Goodman

It's that time of year. Valentine's Day is upon us. We say embrace it with the colour of L.O.V.E.. Fall in love with these beautiful beds with a hint of red.

Every Friday we feature beautiful beds. We'd love to see your beautiful beds, so send them our way! You can submit your images to joanna@aulitfinelinens.com.

If you want to go with a seasonal trend in your bedroom - (for instance, Pantone's colour of the year, Tangerine) - I recommend using those bolder, "hot" colours and patterns as accents, as opposed to for the foundation (walls, sheets, drapes.) One of our favourite brands in the store for amazing throws and deco cushions is Coco Cozy, a Los Angeles company that focuses on bright, graphic accessories for the home. We stock a range of their products and we can custom order anything from their collection. I know it's only the beginning of February, but I'm hoping this gets you excited for spring!
