So, looking to decorate my kids rooms. Girl's room is pale pink (Sherwin Williams- Charming Pink, to be exact) and the boy's room is pale blue (also, Sherwin Williams- Blissful Blue). Both beds are cherry wood, trim is white, carpet is light grey. I like Pottery Barn Kids and The Company Store, but am not finding anything that is striking me and I'm trying to keep the budget low. I would prefer something patterned, but not really babyish (they are nearly 5). The boy's bedding could be a quilt. He runs hot and has to have all bedding covering all of him at all times, no matter how much he sweats.
And, GO! Thanks for the help! I suck at coordinating a room!
I wasn't sure if you wanted to go themed or not. My 5 year old's room is retro rocket ships. If you want something they can grow into, you can go neutral with the main bedding, but get an extra sheet set or fun throw pillows to make it a theme.
They have a lot of cute, neutral geometric bedding, too.
Oooh, didn't check there. I have forgotten all the good US websites and stores. LOVE the solar system and dachshund bedding, though not sure the girl will go for it. She is SUPER girly.

RockNVoll, I'll get pics when I get out of bed. I'm currently starfishing on my OWN COMFORTABLE mattress. The girl's room is the one with the built in bed and it is PINK!!!!
The boy ones just feel really grown up. Is this for your kiddos?
I agree. I like the first girl one and all the boys ones. I'd narrow it down to a couple that you like and then let them choose between them. Have you checked out the PB Teen website? They have some cute ones that are a little more grown up than the kids ones.
The navy and floral one is NMS. Personally, I'd prefer brighter, lighter colors in the pink room.
Agree that the boy ones are more grown up, but if he likes them then go for it.
Girlie is being accomadating so send some more options. I don't love the price of the navy and floral one and it's just the cover so I would have to buy the duvet too.
The boy hasn't seen any of the options. I'm afraid he will get stuck on something I don't like and I won't be able to get him unstuck. I did remember that I have a grey cabinet for his room coming today so something to match with too.
I will say that we have Land of Nod crib bedding for DD and so far, at 18 months it's held up really well. I like the blue flowers, but I agree with PPs that something lighter would be better given that you have dark furniture.
I also like the madras plaid boys' Pottery Barn bedding.
