Book Reviews of Dress Your Dream Bed: Vintage Linen Inspirations for Today's Elegant Bed
Book Review: Loved It - A Great Resource
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so happy to read Rita's book. It is a great resource for bedding and fiber care, and also an inspiration. I learned so much about cotton, natural fibers and vintage linens. I also found a great use for my grandmother's linens that have otherwise been sitting unsed. Her personal style shines through in the writing. It's actually fun to read about laundry techniques. Who else could make detergent an entertaining subject? I'm excited to use Rita's ideas for our babies' cribs. What better way to show our love?
