Mamie, I need your expertise.

This goes for everyone else, too. I need an opinion on a quilt or light comforter! This is the paint color, SW Hearts of Palm. This picture is a pretty good representation on the color, too.

Now, I found this comforter.

But I think it may be too much green.

I kind of like this one, too.

I am having a hard time finding anything I really love. It doesn't seem like there is much out there right now.

I am not Mamie, but I definitely prefer the 1st one. I think the BB&B one seems very juvenile and will look dated quickly. That is a gorgeous room though!!

Love love the paint choice. I'm totally stealing that color for a room somewhere.

The choices you posted are NMS. Though I like the Martha better, but it may lean more toward grandma than young newlywed. I think you can do better. What's your style? Traditional? Romantic? Modern?

If it were me,

I'd go for something like this:

But in comparing it to your choices, it's probably too contemporary. I loved this look in a D&R poster's blog (the guest bedroom)

Hold the phone.

I adore this.

Liberty of London for Target

eta: it's out of stock online, but may still be in stores? This is shocking, but I haven't been to Target since LoL debuted.

oh! I LOVE that LOL print from Target! Totally gets my vote.

hawkilady · March 2010

I too vote for the LOL from Target... I love that.

I like your first choice better than your second - if I remember you were going for more spring/summer bedding right? If that's the case, I would definitely try to find something on a lighter background to lighten up the room.

I love this one from PB... http://www.potterybarn.com/products/scalloped-organic-patchwork-quilt-sham/?pkey=corganic-quilts-shams

I think you need to bring in another main color rather than focusing on the green.

chocolate brown:

Aqua

Even just a neutral taupe

But I love the Target LOL one. Also check out Amazon and JC Penney. They both have lots of choices for cheap.

Love the aqua and taupe. I'd also throw in grays. You could even do a solid shade and throw on some patterned shams.

luckycooky · March 2010

I love the chocolate brown option from Amazon. I'm also a little partial to the LoL option but know that there is limited availability. They were doing both comforters and duvet covers in some prints so that may be an option if you choose that pattern.

The color of the walls actually reminds me of the accent color in our bathroom and the shower curtain we have is this pattern, but they have it available as a comforter and/or duvet too. It's from the Dwell line at Target. I also have seen some nice options from JCP.

i loove the aqua one! It still ties in the green but gives some great opportunities to spice up the room with another pop of color. You could add pillows or a area rug in that aqua/blue tones, it would be really cute and super coordinated looking!

This is our summer comforter. Love it

kaleyandjason · March 2010

Sorry I kind of posted and ran! Thanks for all the input girls. I love that LoL one. I might have to make a Target trip this weekend. I agree that the BBB comforter is kind of juvenile. And I liked the Martha Stewart one, but it is kind of too girly for our room. My style probably leans toward more traditional than anything else.

Thanks again girls! You all have such great style.

Mamie, I need your expertise.
