Love It or Hate It? Kumi Kookoon Silk Sheets
There's something remarkably luxurious about the idea of sleeping between these Kumi Kookoon Silk Sheets ($240-$1125). But given that they're dry-clean only, I can't imagine that the upkeep would be worth it. What's your take?
Steal of the Day: Williams-Sonoma Link Embroidery Sheet Set
Sheets may not be the most exciting decorative home purchase, but you can't live without 'em, so I think a little ornamentation is due where they're concerned. That's why I'm loving the Williams-Sonoma Link Embroidery Sheet Set ($99.99-149.99). The chains of embroidered diamonds in orange, blue, or khaki give your basic white sheet a subtle hint of color and flavor, without looking overwhelming, tacky, or complicated.
DIY: Homemade Hammock
Yesterday I told you about how I sewed a hammock for my backyard by riffing on instructions from the Getaway issue of ReadyMade magazine. If you want to get the exact instructions from the magazine, head down to your local bookstore and pick up a copy. In fact, I urge you to do so, as there are a ton of other cool Summer projects that will keep you occupied and crafting this month.
How To: Wash Your Sheets
Ask the Decorator online home-improvement and decorating show host Meghan Carter interviewed Alan Jesseman, the creative director at Anichini, to learn the right way to wash your sheets. He offered some expert tips on the task, some of which may make you realize you've been doing it all wrong! I've summarized a few for you:
- Sheets should always be washed; you don't want dry-cleaning chemicals close to your body.
- Use a mild detergent or soap, something that doesn't have any whiteners or brighteners, and something that has minimal fragrance or colorings to it.
- Test oxygen bleaches on a corner before using to make sure it won't take the color out.

Steal of the Day: The Company Store, Lemons and Limes Bedding
Since you all loved the lemon place mats I showed you a while back, I knew I had to share this Lemons and Limes Bedding ($11–$65) on sale at The Company Store. This pattern is exclusive and has a 200-thread count. I know it's November, and you're probably thinking about purchasing some snowflake-patterned sheets.

I've seen his wonderful rouge floral quilts everywhere lately, including on Design*Sponge's bed. His e-commerce site sells bedding, duvets, shams, quilts, throws, pillows, pillowcases, sheets, tablecloths, crib sets, and even clothing.
