Matching bedding for crib and twin bed

[ilfaith]

I have two boys age 2 1/2 years and 5 1/2 months who are sharing a room. At the moment the crib has big brother's Noah's Ark themed bedding, and I've got some plain solid sheets and blanket on the twin bed.

Now that we've moved the baby from the basinette to the crib, it's finally time to decorate. I am looking for coordinating bedding for the crib and bed.

I know some Pottery Barn Kids patterns are available for both...unfortunately, I'm not that crazy about the ones thet have at the moment.

I prefer stronger colors to pastels; I prefer boats and planes to trucks and tractors; and I think you can never go wrong with stripes or plaids.

The furniture is Ragazzi Massimo, in distressed cherry, if that helps.

I am currently creating the same sort of room for my two boys - a two year old and another due in April. I chose the Train Junction bedding at Pottery Barn, which is currently on sale. Very cute! The new train bedding is also adorable, but not on sale.

I got the full set for my older DS, and then just the sheet and crib skirt for the baby. I'll fill in with a denim bumper. I thought the room would be way too busy with two complete sets of the same thing.

Good luck!

I am getting ready to have a room for 2 girls. PBK really doesn't have anything great so I would love to see some pics of rooms where two girls share. Thanks so much!

I am off to check out the previously suggested websites.

Hi. If you don't like pottery barn ( I really dont, either) I would try landofnod.com, they have beautiful matching crib and twin sets.

I like these aviator sets from Overstock.com
They aren't really strong colors, but I don't quite consider them pastel either.

If you have a burlington coat factory nearby, you can get accessories from this similar set. They aren't exactly the same, but I think the colors and general look will work well together.

I was browsing for kids bedding and furniture and found that bombaykids.com has really nice matching crib and big boy sets, kinda like what you said you liked. They also have great furniture at really reasonable prices! Hope this helps!
