My friend just moved her son Sam (7 years old) and daughter Elli (5 years old) into the same bedroom. She asked me how to decorate the space so it would work for both genders. I immediately thought of this quilt from Garnet Hill. I love quilts! Each one is a piece of art and can be used in many different ways for both practical and visual purposes.
I like this one for its versatility - it works for both boys and girls and you can play up any of it's bright colors. I would play up the orange and red for Sam and Elli. I also like the polka dot sheet sets (also from Garnet Hill) and they come in many bright fun colors.
The bad news is that the quilt is no longer available. I searched for something similar and found this one from Sundance Catalogue ALSO UNAVAILABLE. Why are they teasing me like that????
I found this one from frolic design on Etsy by searching under keywords "pinwheel quilt".
It is not the right size but many artists on Etsy are willing to fill custom orders so it might be worth looking into.
I hope that helps Amy C.! At least it is a conceptual start. If anyone else has a suggestion I am sure she would love to hear it.

funny, no great suggestions coming to mind.. .I searched e-bay thats about as good as I do. but, it would be super fun to use great fabrics like that and make a quilt, maybe not so elaborate as pinwheels, but it could be fun. My mom and I have made 2 baby quilts, (easy, easy because they are so small) but we did have fun together-maybe you can find some quilting friends and make a night of it. Good luck!
This is why my Boy/girl room is not really decorated. I haven't come up with anything. At least not that they would like. I figure i will leave it until they don't share anymore.
Aren't they great! I can see those in a beach cottage. . . love them!
Okay! You are the best! Thanks for the ideas. To add to your previous post- on using what you have. I have the cutest red clock and hanging red book shelf. So I would love to put in the red and oranges. Ellie wants some flowers (hmm) and Sam polka dots, but really I think I can make it work. I now need to go on the hunt for fabric. I have a friend who know some secret fabric stores- that may have the answer. I haven't chosen the paint because I need the bedding first- right? Or wrong. I have some awesome frames that really work well with the beds, but no art yet. Super fun. Keep the ideas coming. Amy
Cute room! But I'm glad I didn't have to share one with my brother! oy!!!!
btw - no pictures at Warrenton? are you serious? why not?
btw, 2 - I am through with that other mall - when I saw that sign, I thought - forget it. I'm not welcome here.
My sister in law just had twins- a boy and a girl. She did the room SOOO darling! She painted 2 sides of the wall in green and the other two in purple. Then she had a tree painted in a darker green on the green side that met up with the purple side where flowers bloomed. I should take a photo and show you as I am not doing it justice. Anyway, that's an idea to go along with the quilts.
BETHANY - ok - yes, about the gold frames, it's really the mats that can make or break the look. any small thin gold frame would look good. my client took care of that reframing and i sketched out the matting - but imo - I wanted the matts twice the size they came out - I wanted them huge. I love that look when there are small prints in a series. hope this helps??!!!

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my web site to get additional info.
