A Few Wrinkles in the Bedroom . . .

A-ha! That title got your attention, did it?


Not sure what you thought it might signal in a post; hope you enjoy (instead) these photos of the delicious new linens I just ordered from a new Canadian company, Maison Tess, that I read about on Garance Doré's Atelier Doré.

I've been wanting new bedding since we moved into this condo, September 2016, but other rooms took priority, never mind all the travel. I did try shopping for linens back in January, but gave up in frustration at department store offerings--too many choices, none that really grabbed me.

In the comments on that post though, a reader, Mundi, mentioned a small American company Rough Linen, and I was smitten at first click on that website.

I'd mentally committed to an order, in fact, and had resolved to put that together once we got back from this latest trip. Still, I kept calculating the distance between the Canadian dollar and the American dollar -- pretty significant! And the additional cost of the international shipping. And the potential extra charges at the border, the possibility of customs duty complicating delivery . . . .

I'd looked on line a few times, wishing we had a Canadian company with a similar aesthetic and ethics. . . .

I'd never managed to find anything, but just as I'd rationalized the full cost of ordering the Rough Linen package, shipping, border hassles and all -- after all, they're beautiful linens and we'd be enjoying them for the decades we have left -- just as I was almost ready to pay for that "shopping cart," that Atelier Doré post introduced me to Maison Tess.

I'll admit to feeling some loss letting go of the vision that included Rough Linen's sweet, sweet Aqua duvet cover -- I love that colour! But Maison Tess has a range of subtly rich neutrals that mix effectively. . . (there's also a cool mix of olive and dusty rose in their "Gender Neutral" collection)

I love the way they make the room, and the bed, so calming, so inviting. Just what we need in our very urban location, the city bustling just beyond those (Ikea, linen) sheers . . .

Here's what I wrote for the requested review, currently posted on Maison Tess's website (and you should know, I have not received a penny, nor any discount, nor any free product, in compensation -- this is simply my enthusiasm for a good product and good service bubbling over):

Sumptuous bedding

I’m so pleased with these delicious linens, perfect in this summer heat, such a comforting texture, weight, and drape. Love that this is a Canadian company (no hassle with customs charges) and the service was brilliant! Canada Post delivery—great tracking, here within a week of ordering, and I love the fabric drawstring bags the bedding was tucked into, plus the sweet little hand-written note. Highly recommend this very well-priced product!

Almost 44 years ago, Pater and I amused (or horrified?) family as we began our marriage sharing the twin bed I'd bought when I first moved into my own place -- we were 21 and 23, and happy enough with the proximity. We hadn't even known each other a year, and there had been limited opportunities to spend whole nights together -- it seemed a luxury, to be honest, that closeness.

But consultations apparently took place, and we soon inherited "Great-Aunt Winnie's double bed." I scarcely remember Great-Aunt Winnie, who must have died in the ensuing decade, but we surely didn't replace her bed until she was long gone -- we were directing funds, instead, to beds for one, two, three, and then four children. . . .

You'll be relieved to know that we eventually did replace that bed, even "upgrading" to a queen-sized bed . . .

Even better now, on linen. . . 

Not the wrinkles you were expecting, from the title, perhaps, but I hope you enjoyed the post anyway. Any bedroom stories you'd care to share? (Oh, I hope that doesn't bring the spam!) Anyone else converted to linen bedding? Or always slept in it? Share a tale of the worst bed you ever slept in? (We had to request a repair, once, in a rented Paris apartment, and the fellow who came to repair the bed's broken slats was appalled, called the company for us and insisted a new bed be delivered immediately). Anyone considering a shift to separate beds? or separate bedrooms? (my mother went that route the last several years of their marriage; the caregiving Dad required because of cancer left her craving rest and solitude by days' end) -- we really liked the twin-beds-pushed-together-but-made-up-separately approach we see in many European hotels (much less transfer of shifting movement and the separate bedding means no one gets uncovered when she wants to stay covered or vice versa).
