It’s the little things in life that make up perfect moments.
Sitting on the front porch on a warm, summer evening;
sharing a good meal with friends or family;
watching the sun set over the water.
Sometimes it’s a great glass of red wine shared with your favorite guy {or gal};
or the first bloom on the hydrangea bushes out in the yard.
It can be hearing your favorite song on the radio;
smelling fresh cut flowers, and…..
sleeping on the perfect sheets!
I’m not a great sleeper.
My mind will race and I will toss and turn, sometimes taking hours to fall asleep.
Unlike hubby….he can fall asleep almost as soon as his head hits the pillow.
He says, “It’s a sign of a clear conscience.”
Yeah. Right.
I’ve always coveted good quality bed linens. You know the kind. Soft, supple, cool. There’s just something about having good, quality sheets, that is conducive to a relaxed, calm, restful sleep.
In the past, I’ve been very disappointed in every sheet set I’ve ever found, but I believe I have now found the perfect sheets.
From Perfect Linens.
Perfect name, right?
I was pretty excited when they arrived and I couldn’t wait to get the linens changed out on the bed.
I washed them first, according to their instructions, taking them out of the dryer slightly damp {to eliminate wrinkles}, and made up the bed.
I chose the double blue stripe, Second Skin sheet set, and as I was making up the bed with the new linens, I realized that they really are beautiful sheets. And the most supple, pure cotton sheet set, that I have ever owned.
The Perfect Linens sheets are very airy and they don’t cling, which is amazing.
Even during this hot weather we’re having, I didn’t feel hot or wake up in the middle of the night, throwing the covers off. They are cool and light to the touch.
Perfect Linens tests their sheets in a lab so as to describe them to shoppers by how they feel to the touch.
The description for the Second Skin sheets, that I chose, reads: “Extraordinary pliable fabric seems to have a sense of its own of where to adjust and where to hang loose. Unlike most cotton sheets that are stiffer, “Second Skin” performs more like microfiber sheets that are known for snugness. But unlike microfiber/polyester sheets, cotton is airy and doesn’t cling. You feel that “tucked-in” feeling, even during the summer months, but won’t feel hot or “mugged.”
I have to say they are right on target in their description. Like I said, amazing.
Something else I noticed about these sheets, is that they are very generously sized. We have a king size bed with a very deep mattress, and sheets never fit. Even the ones that are advertised as having deep pockets, don’t fit. The Perfect Linens did! Even the top sheet is oversize so it tucks nicely under the mattress.
I love the pretty little stitched embroidery detail on the top sheet and the pillow cases. The embroidery is on both sides, which is perfect when you fold back the top sheet. Such wonderful attention to detail. I love a prettily made up bed, and these sheets are the perfect touch.
I have to say, I’m not easily impressed, but these sheets have won me over. Even hubby woke up this morning talking about how cool and light the sheets felt. And he loved that the fitted sheet stayed in place and actually fit our mattress.
Even Miss Lulu fell in love with these sheets……she did not want to move!
Perfect Linens is offering all E&E readers a $50.00 discount on their purchase! Just use the discount code EEVINTAGE50 at checkout.
These sheets are the best I’ve ever owned, you won’t be disappointed!
One of the little things that makes a perfect moment…….sleeping on Perfect Linens!
Cheers,
Cindy

ah…a beautiful sweet schnauzer…we love. We lost our angel boy Kirby a few years back, a little black schnauzer, at age 14. Miss him always. Love your site.
Oh, it so hard to lose one…..we had two, Miss Sophie, and Miss Lulu. Sadly we had to put Sophie down a little over a year ago. And now, Miss Lulu, at the age of 12 is slowing down, and aging faster than I would like. They bring such joy, but such heartache when they go.
Cindy, lovely sheets in a beautiful room! Miss Lulu looks so pretty in her jewels! Like you, when I go to bed, my mind keeps rushing through issues of the day. I started taking natural melatonin and it has made all the difference. It takes about half an hour to start feeling sleepy. During that time I read until I know I’m reading the same sentence over and over trying to understand it. That’s when I put the bookmark on the page and lay it down. I’m asleep in a matter of moments. There is no groggy feeling if I awake in the night or in the morning. I feel normal. Try it and see if it might help your mind rest at the end of a busy day.
Thank you Patty!
Good Morning Cindy, I, like so many of your followers, live outside the USA… I live in England, so I look forward to hearing when the sheets will be available here. I adore cotton sheets and I love newly washed sheets on a bed.
I have to tell you Cindy, your bedroom is beautiful and I have pinned it because I love it so much.
Have a lovely day.
Best Wishes
Daphne
Thank you Daphne! Hopefully, the sheets will be available for shipping outside the U.S. very soon! Perfect Linens is working out the details with customs. Thank you for following along!
Hello Cindy. Love your blog, decor style, and I always look forward to seeing you in my email inbox. I am sure you have a lot of followers outside of the USA and it is unfortunate that we cannot participate in this discount. Perhaps in the future you can regretfully mention that it is only applicable to US citizens.
Thank you Pat! Perfect Linens is currently working on getting all the details worked out with customs so that they are able to ship outside the U.S. Hopefully, that will be soon! The good thing is that the coupon code does not expire so it can be used at any time!

The bedding is beautiful, and I see you were very careful not to share too much of your bedroom…I check everyday hoping you will have the grand revel of your bedroom. I just can’t wait to drool over yet another room renovation in your lovely home!!!!
Thank you Shelley! It’s coming soon {hopefully!}. For some reason, it has been slow getting it all pulled together!
Cindy, oh, this is your new master isn’t it. Can’t wait to see more. Love the bed and bedding.l
Thank you Kim. Yes, it’s a little glimpse of the master……I’m hoping to get it pulled completely together soon for the reveal. We are going through a punch list now, trying to take care of all the little details….very time consuming!
Very interesting. I have a twin size bed and have a hard time finding sheets that aren’t juvenile. And I love your bedskirts? Did you make it?
Thank you Carol! These are the best fitting sheets I’ve ever had, you should definitely give them a try! I didn’t make the bedskirt, it is the fringed burlap bedskirt from Ballard Designs, http://www.ballarddesigns.com.
These sheets sound amazing, and they look beautiful!
Thank you Maritza! They are definitely the most luxurious and well made sheets I’ve ever had. They feel amazing!
As a fellow insomniac I can say that good sheets do indeed make a difference. Might I ask where you found your lovely matelassé spread and shams?
Thank you Laura! These sheets are really wonderful! I bought the matelasse spread and shams from Country Door, http://www.countrydoor.com.
Cindy, what a gorgeous room and what beautiful sheets. They look divine!
Thank you Yvonne!
Cindy, Your bed looks awesome! I too have never found the perfect sheet set. Willing to try these out – I hope they ship to Canada!!
Celia
Thank you Celia! I’m not easily impressed, but these sheets are as advertised. I love them! I just found out that they don’t currently offer shipping outside the U.S., but I’m checking with the company to see when/if that is going to change. I will let you know what I find out. Thank you for being such a great follower of E&E!
I just discovered the same thing Cindy:( May ask one of my US friends if I can use their address and they can send them to me! ) BTW, I love what you’ve been doing to your house – making it a beautiful home! Carry on:)
Celia
The good thing is there is no expiration on the discount code. Perfect Linens is working out the customs details for shipping outside the U.S. They are trying to get me a better timeframe as to when they are going to be able to ship outside the U.S. Will keep you informed!
They are gorgeous Cindy (like everything else that you have in your lovely home) and after your gave these sheets such a great review, I excitedly went to their site to buy a set, as I have been searching for good sheets myself, but I was very disappointed to learn that they do not ship to Canada or anywhere else outside the U.S. for that matter. What a letdown. They do say that they will eventually ship outside the U.S. but they don’t say when and also the $50 discount was very enticing and makes a big difference in the price, since they are not cheap. Bummer!
LindyLou, I’m checking to see if I can get a better idea on when they will ship outside the U.S. They really are fabulous sheets, you would love them! I will let you know what I find out.
LindyLou, there is no expiration date on the discount code so you will be able to use it when they do start shipping to Canada. They are currently working out the customs details so they can start shipping outside the U.S. Perfect Linens is trying to get me a better idea as to when they expect this to be completed. Thank you for your patience! I will let you know what I find out.
Great! Thanks so much for checking this out for me, I do appreciate it. Looking forward to getting these. Have a wonderful day, dear Cindy. xxx
I want to be you so bad when I grow up! As always…just gorgeous!
Your friend-
Marcia
