Hey, Romeo!

Montague & Capulet Bedding

A perfect date night includes your man, the couch, and Vietnamese take-out. Still, when your dude drips summer roll sauce onto your pajamas, you can’t help thinking romance is dead.

Or at least it’s passed out in front of the TV.

Never fear. The ladies of Montague & Capulet are bringing the love back home. Between Tiffany McDaniel’s spicy Louisiana charm and Lauren Shuster’s South African worldliness and exoticism, the two young designers have created luxurious linens with a sweet, contemporary bent.

Bearing stately but tongue-in-cheek crests — fortunately not of warring families — on 400-thread-count sateen or cotton sheets, the Ready to Sleep line comes in collections like Port of Call (with nautical embroidery), Napoleon (with bumble bees and wreaths), Bella Donna (with a baroque pattern), Provence (with fleur de lis), Renaissance (with oil genie lamps), and Monarch (with Montague & Capulet’s coat of arms).

So, with just a between-the-sheets makeover, you can bring the love back to the boudoir.

And as for romance?

Hopefully, he’ll wake up before the next infomercial.
