WDYT of Gianna's big girl bedding? PIP

image

I didn't want it to be too babyish so she could grow into it. I really liked this in the photo but now that it just came in I am having second thoughts. Maybe I just need to see it in her room and not right out of the package. What are your opinions? What color would you paint the room? I like the taupe, but it's a little plain. I want to girl it up age appropriately for her being 2 even though this is PB Teen. 

 

thanks ladies!

  • Oh I like it! What about the blue or yellow for paint?
  • I like it. I'd do yellow paint. I had light yellow paint named Cheerful Hue from Behr (at Home Depot) in my bedroom. Loved it. My room didn't get much natural light, but it always felt sunny.

    You can always change the color later. That's the great thing about paint.

  • LOVE it!  It is actually the set I was looking to buy for Madison because she wants her room changed.  I don't like babyish sets and I refuse to buy anything with characters on it.
  • Pam, is the bedding more pink or purple?  In the pictures it looks purple, but the color says it is pink multi?  Maddie wants purple in her room, so I want to double check before ordering anything.  Thanks

    It is definitely purple! There is a pink multi but this one is called blue multi.

     

    here is the direct link to the bedding.

    I really like that bedding for Gianna, Pam!

    I think I'd pull the yellow or the purple from the bedding for the walls (perhaps even a little lighter than the bedding, but same tone). Nice thing about paint is that you can repaint down the line! :)

    We've got to get together this summer, lady! A majority of our regular activities are wrapping up this week for the summer, so we'll have lots of free time!

  • I agree with the yellow paint.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I like the idea of yellow paint as well.  Don't tell me Gianna is ready for a big girl bed already?  R has climbed out a few times but mostly stays in her crib. 
  • that is too cute! i can see how right out of the package it might seem a bit much but i bet you'll love it once you have it in her room. i think yellow or taupe would be good for paint. if you go taupe, you could do more bold stuff on the wall.

  • Thanks Pam.  I think I am ordering the Blue Multi tonight.  I usually put all my PBK purchases on a registry to get 10% off, but you can't do that with PBTeen... yuck.  I think I would do the walls in yellow or a lighter shade of purple.

    How's the quality of the quilts from PB? Unfortunately, the two bedding sets I have for Shannon are less than stellar, and I'm looking for ideas for the future since these won't hold up for as long as I'd hoped.

    I love the quality. I got Christian a sports themed quilt and sham from PB kids when he was 2 and it's held up perfectly. Jerrah, Gianna hasn't really climbed out of her bed so much as we have time this summer to get it done & she loves, loves, loves to climb into Christian's bed and pretend to sleep. He was in his twin bed when he was just under 25 months. So I figure she can come out soon. I am also really sick of the room. It's been the same since I was pg with Christian. It's all gender neutral since both kids were surprises.

    Oh and every time your profile pulls up and Gianna is on my lap she says "I want to see Shannon!" It's really cute so yes we do need to schedule a GTG!

    Let's do it, lady!!

  • i would do that blue/turquoise color!! it would be so fun! 

    but if thats too much, i like the taupe with a turquoise accent wall.  ...but i'm partial to taupe (you should see my house!) 

  • I love it - it's perfect for her to grow into!
  • I LOVE it!!!  It is something I would love to get for DD if what I got for her crib was something that was to transition for now too.  I kind of wish I didn't think ahead so I could go get that.  I would prob do yellow walls just by looking at the pics, but may consider a lighter purple if I wanted something different- depending on how much purple there was in the quilt.  would want to bring out a color that is not as much in it for the walls.  I bet whatever you choose will look so cute with that though.
