So, how about orange? Such a positive color, right? Its been said that orange evokes happiness, creativity, determination, success, encouragement, stimulation, etc. Perfect color for a 3-year old!!!
The Metro Duvet Cover in orange from Pottery Barn Teen was a good start. I especially liked the metal grommets and two cargo pockets on the duvet... perfect to hold his small books, little animals and cars, or even some crayons and paper to write mommy an "I love you" note!!!
Carrie Orange is available through Tonic Living, those extra large polka dots are so lively! Akita Cotton Drapery Print - Sweet Potato/Natural is available through Buy Fabrics, it's a little on the traditional side, but the color would add some unexpected drama to the room. And, a chevron print would also be great for the windows, like Zippy Stone Arizona/Denton by Premier Prints available through Buy Fabrics.
I liked the orange, but also wanted to see if any green colored fabrics had some interesting patterns. Here's what I found...
The Ikea narrow green and white vertical striped Sofia fabric would make a great duvet cover and would look fantastic under his quilt....
To coordinate with the green and white stripes, I thought any of these prints would look great on the window.
The Schooner print almost looks educational... I think he'd love to wake up every morning and see ships hanging from his window. The Giraffe print is so fun, this is a fabric I'd even make into a pillow for the living room. I love it! And the Kaitlin Linen print is great too... very nautical (I'd hang these horizontal on the window since the stripes on the duvet would be vertical). These three fabrics are all available thru Buy Fabrics.
As much as I thought any of these options would work, I wasn't sold. I want to LOVE the whole look and I really want my 3-year old to LOVE it too. So, I kept these options in my head and continued the search. THEN, it happened!!! I came across these sheets and everything changed (well, not everything), but I ended up putting together fabrics in what, I think, will be a dino-mite room!!!
Stay tuned, I'll show you the plan early next week!!!
You never cease to amaze me ! I can't wait to see the room when you are done ! Love, Granni
