Finding extra long twin sheets that aren't hideous or poor quality can be challenging.  Thankfully The Company Store has some great options, they're all high quality and in tasteful color palettes. I mean really, not all college kids like cheesy stuff with tacky logos, etc. (for example VS Pink, I don't know if they make bedding but if they do, that's something to avoid!)

These 350 Thread Count Supima Damask Stripe Sheets are a very good option.  Just $24 for the flat, $34 for the x-long fitted and $29 for a pair of standard cases. They also have matching duvet covers and shams.

The 400 Thread Count Wrinkle-Free Sateen is another good option. The plum and sable (dark brown) colors are fabulous!  The twin flat is $29, x-long fitted $39 and pair of standard cases $29. This style also has matching duvet covers.

So the tasteful young ones needn't suffer after all...

The latest New York Magazine Shop-A-Matic features furniture and home decor items at every price. What a fun way to browse for cool stuff.

Seriously, how great is this - a cute owl pillow for only $25! (Hoot pillow by CB2)

Or a $199 accent chair from Brocade Home. (Pattern Bent Wood Chair)

Or a reasonably priced bed like this dark wood platform bed for $799. (Jett platform bed by Z Gallerie)

Williams Sonoma Home is having a big bedding sale right now, many items also with free shipping!  I love WS Home, you can always be assured of great design and high quality...

In duvet covers, I love their coral and greek key jacquards.

And in sheets, the Vine Floral and the Narrow Border Sateen.

Here's a super deal on Signoria Firenze Amalfi Hotel Sheets.  Although Signoria is not as popular as say, Frette, they are very high end.  The only place I've actually seen them in person is on the bedding floor at ABC Carpet & Home in Manhattan... and we all know they only carry the best stuff there...

The Queen Amalfit Hotel Sheet Set is on sale for $179.99!

What's really nice is that this look is often only available in a few colors, but it's available in: black, camelia, coffee, espresso, plum, white and wilton blue... woo hoo!  The sheets are made with 100% Egyptian cotton in a 300 tc single ply percale weave... and of course, they're made in Italy!
