I'll show you mine....

We've been given the opportunity to do the bedrooms and bathrooms in one of the most spectacular penthouses in the Pearl District -- for the second time! The orginal owners of The Henry unit are among our best and favorite customers, and when they recently sold, they sent the new owners to us for bedding style and expertise.

Another of our favorite customers leads an intriguing life of weekends in a Pearl District loft and week days in a contemporary Eastside home just 1.8 miles away from the loft! We've helped him with both master bedrooms and the results are stunning and sophisticated.

Another of our customers is in the process of "doing" four bedrooms in her river front home that sits on 1,000 acres and through which the explorers Lewis and Clark traveled.

Essentially, our customers get to live out my bedding fantasies by choosing our finest textiles with their great taste and working them into their own, exquisite personal spaces. Even though I own the joint, there is a limit to how much luxury bedding and towels I can accumulate.

I'd like to start an online scrapbook of our customers' bed. If you're so inclined, please email me photos of what you've been able to create using French Quarter products (and if you have a before picture, all the better). I won't divulge any personal details. Please email photos to: timo@frenchquarterlinens.com

Ok, so here's mine, wrinkles and all:
I just made my bed last night and decided to pull off the Legna (this was a difficult decision!) and put on my second favorite sheets and shams which are a 460 threadcount Italian percale with three lines of embroidery. My duvet cover and shams are Leitner's pure-linen Istanbul in a faint blue. I also threw the Leitner geometric top sheet over my ancient Peacock Alley matlasse coverlet.

And how about that wallpaper? Just put up and it's from Cole & Son, a pattern they pulled from their 1950's archives. www.cole-and-son.com

Ok, now... show me yours!
