The boy isn't not aware that we NEED this, however I am.
The current euro sham is beautiful, however it does not coordinate with our bed after the combining of sheets was done.
So I've been shopping, hardcore, for a euro sham.
I've gone to all the usuals: stores around town, Ralph Lauren Home and TJ Maxx.
I've found... nada.
I happily found a break in my euro sham case when I saw a Potterybarn Bed and Bath catalogue at the house of some of the children I watch. Here are the options, your opinions are welcome, cause the boy isn't going to be any help.
Oh, and should I just order all of them and see how they look on the bed?
Oh, and the linens on our bed are now deep red, burnt yellow, tan and a little green. Trust me, it may sound bad but it looks really great...
Option One:
Too busy?
Option Two:
The toile in yellow? Would it get dirty quickly? How would it even get dirty?
Option Three:
Is it weird that it's a bit padded? Too busy?
Option Four:
Kind of an old school pattern but the colors are so right...
Let me know what you think...

I love option one and have admired them for a while. I don't think they are too busy if the other linens are solid colors.
I like toile too, but this one is a little washed out looking. It could be the photo but it might not be bold enough color to notice in a room with lots of other color. Also, sometimes boys don't like toile.
Option three is too busy to be quilted. Same fabric as one?
Old school is fine. You might want to order it and option one and see them each in the room. The larger pattern might be better if the rest of the bed is solids.
Option 1 is my favorite by far. The last option is also quite good. Depends on your room, your other linens, and your taste.
I work at the Barn. I haven't seen the new bedding in person yet. I like 1 and 4. We sure do like our paisley at the Barn. Sorry I can't share my employee discount with you :-(
I'm worried now. I have spent years preparing my children for life at university. We have talked about sex, drugs and how to make spaghetti bolognese. It never occurred to me to talk about bed-linen. I think they may be vulnerable. I must schedule a discussion. But I don't want to frighten them...
I know that you aren't going to like my idea but here it is. I think that the sheets you have now are just as good as any of these options or you could just take the ones that mom bought and you picked out. Remeber Alice we are trying to save money for our trip to Paris and if you aren't satisfied i'm sure you could find some there!
Hey Alice...Paris!!! Thats v. romantic...let me know if you need a nice little bistro right next to the Pompidou Centre.
