After thoroughly searching the regulars like Pottery Barn Kids, Crate & Barrel, Land of Nod --and many more-- I came to the conclusion that I should make my own.
Unfortunately, after a few quick calculations, I realized that I would need about 11 yards of fabric to make a twin-sized comforter cover.
So I went back to the internet, and found myself at West Elm. I found a few options, but I think this one is my favorite.
The platinum color (top picture) will go nicely in 7's room. Also it's machine washable which is very important in a boy's room. Do you know how filthy little boys can be?!
I'm not worried that it's too bland because I'm sure there will be a lot of other colors on 7's bed: stuffed animals, his favorite ugly doll, an accent pillow...
John just has to build the loft bed now...
200 dollars???? Sheesh. This is why I'm not crafty mom. I love the one you picked though:)

I am totally addicted to West Elm right now and the weirdest thing is the one I used to go to just closed and it was always so crowded! Annoying! I really like that choice and I like the tufted top look which gives it more personality. Great little boy room comforter. Cute!
ReplyDeletei absolutely love your color choice. and that faux bois is really cool. i have made duvet covers before using two twin sheets. you wouldn't get the tufted look, but it's pretty simple and cheap. also i remember seeing a nice solid gray duvet cover at ikea. they were out of stock the day i was there or i would have gotten 2 of them for our bunks.
ReplyDeletelooking good!

ReplyDeleteYeah, $200. And that didn't include yardage for a pillow sham!! (ouch)

I tried looking for sheets to make a comforter cover but I didn't have much luck. I think I'm happy with the West Elm comforter... plus, I don't have to make anything! ; )
