Carleton Varney for HSN

Recently I got an email from HSN with a coupon for 15% off. I clicked on, thinking I might look to see if the Nate Berkus line had anything new for me. Before I could get to the Nate stuff I was reminded that Carlton Varney has a line for HSN.

His look is very preppy, very southern. I love his style in small doses for common room or in full force for a little girls bedroom.

These sheets are great!


And how about this adorable ottoman? So cute for the bathroom, the end of a hallway or a little nook.



This vanity stool is a tie for my favorite piece in the line. Comes in all different colors.

But this bedding is what excited me most. It features my favorite Carlton V print - Tobacco leaf.



Okay, now. I know this image is not exactly current. But put on your ugly blinders for a sec and imagine this bedspread as a duvet. Ditch the unfortunate throw pillows and the stripey pieces and replace the euros and skirt with a crisp inky blue/navy trimmed out in white. Awesome, I think!

    HSN is surprisingly cooler (sometimes) than most people think. I swear, though, we had those exact yellow rose sheets growing up :)

    Hope you're getting settled in!

    Although I love a lot of this stuff, I did have a vision of my awesome giant rose bedding I had growing up, it is so funny how all this stuff is coming back!

    Reminds me of my room as a young girl, big explosive floral and lots of color! Good for a gray day like today and a Monday!

    My mom would go crazy over this stuff - she (still) loves lots of color and big cabbage roses!

    Wow, HSN has really turned around. Perhaps I was unfairly judging it in years past. I love all the Nate Berkus things, as well as the tobacco leaf-printed sheets you shared.

    Some of this is cute, but a lot of it is giving me flashbacks to the 80s!

    I love Carleton Varney's prints- I've seen the sheets on ebay and didn't know you could get them on HSN- fabulous!

    "I only wish it was a duvet and not a comforter." ... This made me laugh because I'm the exact opposite! I prefer quilts and comforters over duvets because I can't for the life of me (with three little boys) ever keep a duvet cover looking "put together" and decent. Ha!

    I agree. HSN is suprisingly better than most people think. Love all of these vintage prints.

    Jenny I love your style.....BUT I personally think that bedding is absolutely hideous!

    seems like one could open up the comforter andremove the batting and then do something with the opening and manage a duvet out of all that

    Oh man, all I could think of with that cabbage rose print bedding was that it looks just like the big poofy floral dresses from the 80s/90s. Ugh, I just cant get past that thought:)

    I just finished making drapes for my nursery out of the trellis sheets in case anyone's curious...
