A few weeks ago, I stained the caning on the bed in our master bedroom, which then led to doing a bedroom refresh with some new bedding.
For a long while, I have been wanting to add a feminine, gathered, linen bedspread to our bed, but I never could find one that worked.
But, recently, while shopping the Annie Selke Autumn 2016 catalog, I found exactly what I had been looking for, so I ordered it and anxiously waited for it to arrive, keeping my fingers crossed that it would fit our deep king size mattress.
When it arrived, I wasn’t disappointed, because it fits perfectly!
It may be the first time that I’ve had bedding that actually fits all the way around the bed.
The Pine Cone Hill Wilton bedding by Annie Selke is beautifully gathered in cotton and linen, and it dresses our king size bed perfectly with a 30″ drop, draping all the way to the floor.
Annie Selke is passionate about style, comfort, and quality, and it certainly shows in this beautiful bedding.
I was really impressed by the quality, and attention to detail, and I’m not easily impressed!
The fabric has a wonderful thickness, giving the cotton/linen texture such a luxurious, heirloom quality feel.
I use a lot of vintage textiles in my decorating, including antique European grain sacks and hemp linens. This bedding blends and compliments them perfectly.
While I was shopping the Annie Selke catalog, I also ordered a lovely Pine Cone Hill Candlewick throw that I am totally obsessed with!
It’s the most amazing shade of blue, and the stitching reminds me of vintage chenille.
There are matching Candlewick pillows that I didn’t order, but now, after seeing the throw, I think I’m going to have to order them as well!
Of course, after I added the new bedding, I moved a few things around, moving the french loveseat to the end of the bed, and the french chairs and antique baskets to the front of the windows.
It will be nice to curl up on the loveseat, under the Candlewick throw, and read a good book….or just snuggle with a cute pup!
I am so pleased with this bedding, it makes me so happy to look at it, which is Annie Selke’s motto, “bringing happy home”, and she’ll be at the top of my list from now on for home decorating.

Annie Selke Giveaway
Hi Cindy, I’m just subscribing to your site. I love your spread, I just received one and I’m disappointed that it doesn’t reach the floor, short about 3 inches on all sides. Do you have any suggestions or do I have to just bite the bullet??
Hi Sharon! Is it the Annie Selke Wilton bedspread? I’m surprised it’s too short. We have an oversize king size bed, and I can never find anything that fits all the way around properly, but the Annie Selke bedspread fits perfectly, and drops all the way to the floor, all the way around. Perhaps you can measure the mattress and the drop to the floor on your bed, and exchange, maybe order the next size up?
Your bedroom is so calming…just beautiful! And your pup is adorable..love her collar!
Would love to have the same bedspread and I always worry that the drop won’t be long enough. Looks beautiful on your bed. Ruby lu needs an agent for that sweet face!!
Thank you Candy! I always worried that the drop wouldn’t go all the way to the floor as well, because we have such a deep mattress, and it seems like everything I buy is always short on one side. But the Wilton bedding fits perfectly! It may be the first bedspread that I’ve ever found that does! I agree, RubyLou needs an agent! Thanks for commenting!
What a great giveaway, thanks for the opportunity. How exciting! LOVE your beautiful new bedding!!!
Thank you Pinky!
Hi Cindy….RubyLou needs an agent, lol! Everytime I view photos of your bedroom I begin to drool. Your new bedspread looks fabulous and the throw is amazing…what a great color! The bedding from the Annie Selkie website has captured my heart. It would b wonderful seeing some of it in my own home! Can you possibly share what product you used on the your bedroom ceiling to come up with that bleached look! Enjoy the week…oxoxo
(PS My apologies if this post is somewhat of a duplicate. My fingers were working faster than my mind and I accidentally hit enter before I completed the post…not sure if the first one went thru!)

I love all the bedding but the other things are lovely. I couldn’t get all the twitter buttons to work. I did them all but for some reason they didn’t work.
Hi Susan, Twitter’s site was down most of the day today, so that’s why the buttons probably didn’t work. Their site is back up so hopefully the button will work now!
Oh my goodness, so beautiful! Love it all Cindy!
I love this bedding!!! I have been looking for this bedding for months now. Thank you so much for doing this post. I also love the chenille throw. It reminds me of the many bedspreads my grandmother had when I was growing up. Hope you have a wonderful evening!
Your bedroom refresh is beautiful. Love that bedspread and would love to win one just like you got but in queen. And RubyLou is just SOoo pretty on that throw!
This is gorgeous ,Cindy! I love it! Thank you so much for the give away!

Thank you Paula! And RubyLou says, “thank you” too!!
Wow Cindy! Didn’t think your bedroom could get any better. Your refresh with the beautiful new linens from Annie Selke are yummy! I entered all except the Twitter area as I don’t do that one, but signing up and going to the site made me want the Candlewick Throw for sure. I found a beautiful Candlewick french blue Robe that is now on my Christmas list. Thanks for the giveaway and a chance to win.
Ruby certainly is the finishing touch to a beautiful bedroom!
Thank you Wrenda! And Good Luck!
Your bedroom refresh is absolute perfection! That dreamy, flowy bedding is so gorgeous!!!
Thank you so much Sara!
I love your bedroom and your entire house! Just gorgeous! I have similar bedding in both guest rooms. I purchased them from Horchow. I believe the bedding company is French Laundry.
Love! And your new Schnauzer baby is precious!
Thank you Robin!
I love the bedspread and the throw but have to say they are 2nd place to that cute puppy face!!! Lol!
Love! Hope I win. I lost everything in a flood August 13, 2016. Still have my roof, interior studs, and exterior walls/siding. Blank slate! Decor theme will be French Country Cottage. The spread and throw are perfect!
Got my fingers crossed!
Your Master Bedroom is gorgeous and serene. Love love love that bedding.
Your sweet fur baby is a cutie. Happy New Week Cindy.
Hugs,
Kris
Thanks Kris!
So pretty Cindy and you and I are both on the bedroom page today. 🙂
Oh my goodness! Just when I thought your master couldn’t be more beautiful you raised the bar yet again! I love the new bedding and the throw! Your bed looks awesome the way you stained the cane. Lulu steals the show of course!
Thank you so much Sandy!
Beautiful, as always! This is perfect timing. We’re pulling up the disgusting carpet within the next few weeks, and putting in hardwood floors. Time to redecorate my bedroom 🙂
I love Pinecone Hill. I’ve dreamed about the linens a long time. Now I’m going to be dreaming about the Litchfield sofa. Your room is lovely as always.
Thank you Cassandra!
Wow Cindy, your new bedspread looks beautiful….
I love the changes you have done to your gorgeous bed room…..
Love how your sweet pooch is curled up on your pretty new throw…lol….such a cutie….awww please give her a hug from me 🙂
Enjoy your new bedding…..

Thanks Mari!
Love the cotton and linen long-drop bedspread. I need one in French Bleu.
Thanks for sharing this site and contest!
Thanks for commenting Kathy! Good Luck!
Ok I entered in every way I possibly could LOL! What a gorgeous website they have! It was really hard to think of just five things I want but here is what I narrowed it down to:
1- that same candlewick mineral throw because it looks just like the vintage chenille one my grandmother had that my aunt inherited and I always loved it and I wished it was mine. So GORGEOUS and nostalgic!
2- The Anka White throw
3- Any of those gorgeous pajamas!
4-Pitone Zinc decorative pillows
5- The ballet slipper bedding wow!
I honestly took so many gorgeous screenshots I could go on anon. I love the betting you have, Cindy, I am above that same one also. So romantic and dreamy! Thanks for hosting such a fabulous giveaway! Crossing my fingers and will tweet every day!
Ps- your sweet fur baby looks so adorable on that throw blanket and I love the picture with the pearls on also Haha!
Thank you Summer! You will love the Candlewick throw, and you’re right, it reminds me of vintage chenille! I really think I need the matching pillows! RubyLou says “thank you”!
I also viewed this on their online website & wanted it. My only problem is that in the winter we have a down comforter & the sides hang over. I would have to totally remove that each day to put the spread on. We live in Texas in this real small 1895 Victorian & our bedroom is small. But, I really may have to remove the comforter each day because I really want this linen spread. So pretty!
Deborah, we have a down comforter underneath the spread! At night, I just fold the bedspread to the bottom of the bed, and then in the morning, spread it back over the down comforter. The bedspread still fits perfectly!
Thank you Cindy!
I love it Cindy…looks similar to something on my beach bed. I would probably get something from the Dash & Albert line…speaking of beach. Perfect for there!
Thanks Janet! I love the Dash & Albert rug line as well!
The quote is so true, “bringing happy home” I LOVE the bedding as I so love the beautiful linen fabric. This is definitely on my “wish list” !!!! The Wilton bedding is gorgeous and I see that Ruby Lou has claimed that throw for obvious reasons!
Thank you Shirley! Yes, this Wilton bedding is so beautiful….and that Candlewick throw, I am obsessed with it! I may have to fight RubyLou for it though!
It’s beautiful. I love the soft, feminine look of your new spread! I’m not familiar with Annie Selke, but I’m a believer now!
Thank you Gerri! Be sure and check out Annie Selke’s catalog, it has some gorgeous things in it!
I definitely will!
Your bedroom looks beautiful! I love the throw, and I think the pillows would look gorgeous in your room! I hope that you have a wonderful week!!!
Thank you Shannon! Yes, I think those Candlewick pillows are calling my name!
Wow! I love the throw!
I agree Julie, I’m obsessed with the Candlewick throw!
I received a catalogue in the mail last week! Beautiful wall colors from Farrow and Ball as well! I love the bedding!!
Thank you Celia!
