Hygge with Francis Brennan

We were long overdue a new quilt for our bed so I decided to buy one when I was in town about a week ago. I always wanted a feather duvet as I love the rustling sound they make and also I think they are warmer than a regular quilt.

I had been admiring the Francis Brennan Bed Collection in Dunnes Stores so I bit the bullet and bought a full set of his lace trim range duvet cover and sheet along with new pillows from Dunnes which included 2 feather ones and 4 man made fibre ones. 

Having a super king bed can cause difficulties when buying bedding here in Ireland (I used to buy a lot of duvet covers in the USA on my travels) but I was glad to find Super King in stock in Dunnes.

This afternoon I made up my bed with the new quilt, pillows and coverings. I then bought new pyjamas and a dressing gown so that I could cosy up and have some hygge in my bed tonight.  I sure am looking forward to it!





Here's Francis himself, meeting everyone as they enter Dunnes Stores Homewares in The Swan Centre.



There's my bed all smartly made up!

The packaging is very nice for this range and everything is packed in to a stylish grey bag and wrapped in tissue paper.

Francis Brennan, along with his brother John, owns and runs the 5 Star Park Hotel Kenmare so he knows his stuff about hotel quality bedding. His attention to detail is second to none and is evident from watching him on his TV show "At Your Service".  He is also such a nice man and I can attest to this personally as my twin sister and I had a chat with him when he we met him at his book signing - you can read all about that here!


My pyjamas are from Dunnes Stores also - the pyjamas are so comfortable and the dressing gown is soft and fluffy - definitely making me feel all hygge as I sit on the couch blogging in my new PJ's!


Edit -
When I went to bed on Saturday night, I remarked to Ciaran that I felt like I was sleeping in a hotel - the new duvet was that good!!
Then when we woke up on Sunday morning, Ciaran turned to me and said "Let's order room service"......he definitely had a hotel like sleep experience!!
