Here's a picture of my bedroom with my "winter quilt" and "summer quilt". The pics are a little old, I've moved the cedar chest, removed the small table by the chest, gotten new bedside lamps...but the rest is pretty much the same. I thought I was set even though my summer quilt always looks pale and a little small after I get used to the red one which I got last year from LLBean with a little help from you guys. Now today I got the new Pottery Barn catalogue and fell in love with the duvet cover on the front. I've always had quilts or comforters, never a duvet cover. But don't you just buy a duvet and stuff it in? Anyway, what do you guys thing of this for my room? Do I need it? lol Would it be a good summer choice? What about my off white dust ruffle, does that work? Is it too much like the red quilt? Or am I just nuts and the catalogue has me drooling? I'd love to know what you all think. Thanks!

My breath has been taken away....it's beautiful! It would be hard to resist and I would justify buying it anyway necessary until it arrived on my doorstep.

I have a PB duvet cover and love it slipped over my feather comforter (I also have a folded quilt at the foot of the bed, I love covers). Anyway, my duvet is crisp and nice- and washably practical.
I love the colors on the duvet you chose, it will bring a splash of color to your room.
Affirmation.

Oh dear!...it would look very striking in your room. If you have been looking and this is the VERY thing you've been looking for...or...your quilts are very old and you need a change...or... See? I'm no help! :P It would look fab!

I'm feeling my resistance weaken. I'm a sucker for paisley and have been since I was a kid. And no it's not what I've been looking for. I wasn't looking for anything, they just stuck the catalog in my mailbox to TEMPT me :-) It worked *sigh*. Thanks for all your feedback. Sometimes I just like to run it by my online committee in order to make sure there's not something I'm missing. Y'all are the best!

Since you would be using the duvet cover for your summer bedding, you don't even have to buy a duvet. (There! I saved you money! Now you can buy it.) When I used a duvet cover, I used a down comforter inside during the winter and nothing inside during the summer. It's just like a coverlet, with a big pocket inside ;-).

The duvet cover you show would look gorgeous in the summer with blue or green shams ... You could even find some rusty-red shams and let it take you right into fall. I just love mix-and-match bedding. If you buy it, you have to post a new picture!

You're only going around 'once' in this lifetime....like it, buy it!!!! My husband always said, "you can't take it with you so spend it and the kids can get money just like you and I did, hard work and saving". So there you go, I decided for you, buy it. It's not like you are buying a car or something, can't be that expensive and it is just lovely.

I showed the catalog picture to my DH. He asked if he got a vote. LOL I said umm no the GW committee has already voted and it's unanimous. I ordered it this morning :-)
