In addition to searching for designer discounts and style steals, part of my time is spent tracking down housewares on a budget. Case in point: I am obsessed with West Elm’s Organic Cotton Pin-tuck Duvet, but I can’t bring myself to drop over $100 on a duvet cover, not to mention the $30 for each matching sham. After countless hours spent trying to find a comparable option (there aren’t any btw) I realized that this project had DIY written all over it. And lucky for us, I found a fellow blogger who created her own for only $23 and shared how she did it. I will be breaking out my sewing machine this weekend; feel free to share your DIY duvet in the comments below!

The Real:
