Pls vote on sheets!

2 months ago

I think it’s jet lag… I can’t decide on sheets for a ”guest room” at our beach cottage. What do you think?


The room is rarely used these days except when our adult kids are there with their groups of friends. Someday, hopefully before I’m 100, it will be used by grandkids?!? The room has 3 twin beds and nothing else except for a white nightstand and a small bookcase. Headboards are white wood. Wall color is BM Colony Green:




I took advantage of a sale at Annie Selke and ordered these quilts. I am thinking navy and white scheme, although originally I was thinking more colorful.




I think these sheets are great




But I like these bc they include the wall color. But are they too serious and/or not cottagey?





Or, I could do a solid light green? But the wall color is a weird sort of green, hard to match.


Anyone want to vote?


Maybe I could add an ”accent” pillow with green if I go with the shell print sheets. Or just ignore the green.


Even though it isn’t used a lot, it is the first bedroom at the top of the stairs and I walk by it on the way to our bedroom. Right now the beds have plain pink quilts that are weirdly oversized and look sloppy and boring. Makes me cringe a little every time I walk by.

    I like mixing the floral and stripe, but the sheets don't give me a summery coastal vibe. How about something like these from Quince?

    I also like mixing stripes with a floral or pattern -- I love the shells but you said they are sold out? I dont have time right now to look but GH has some interesting small patterns that are beachy. I will peek later.

  • 2 months ago

    No, they are not sold out.


    I think I may also check out Target and TJMaxx locally…

    I would bring in that pretty green though, so in that light I vote against the shells.

    Also love these W Elm sheets but not sure the green is right

    I can’t use the Quince site on my ipad or phone, no idea why, but I can look on my laptop later.


    These might be my favorites so far, just found…

    Surfing dogs!




    PS Funky, the first sets I posted were from Garnet Hill.

    omg the surfing dogs!

  • 2 months ago

    I like the quilts you ordered. I’m a weirdo and prefer white sheets. Maybe white with a scalloped border?

  • 2 months ago

    I vote for the surfing dogs! They make me smile.

  • 2 months ago

    Surfing dogs indeed!

    I like these from Pottery Barn Kids.

    ...and from Pottery Barn Teen.



    I don't think you need to worry about bringing the green into the bedding necessarily.

  • 2 months ago

    I don't think I could say "no" to surfing dogs lol ...

    but even with the green walls, I like the sea shells a lot. I don't think navy and green are at odds and you could always bring them together with photography/artwork pillows, whatever.

  • 2 months ago

    I agree about white sheets, but I make an exception for twin beds.

  • 2 months ago

    In Sue’s hope that someday this room becomes the grands bunk room, surfer dogs for sure dude. (and in memory of my sweet guy who loved to bodysurf)


  • 2 months ago

    OK now I have too many options!


    I do like the star print, Fun. I had seen the other set too.


    But wait, more dogs. I might like these better.




    I like these lil surfers too, though…

    I wouldn't worry about green in the sheets and use a decorative pillow for combining the green and blue and/or adding other colors. Love the crispness of blue and white sheets. Although.... the surfing dogs are very cute! Oh wait - just saw the other dogs - that's it, that's my vote!

  • 2 months ago

    I like white sheets too, I like all these sheets really, but for a rarely used guest room at a beach house, I like the fun. I'm sticking with the surfer dogs.

    It's like the video that was posted here before - that every house needs a little weird. These aren't really weird, but why go with white sheets when there are surfer dogs out there!

    I love the scallop shells with the blue stripes best. Surfing dogs would make me smile but i’d prefer it as an accent.

  • 2 months ago

    The PBK stars are fun, but DGD1 has them and they fade quickly. YMMV,


    The surfing dogs are cute.


    These are whimsical and the pattern seems to sort of reference the pattern in the navy stripe of the quilt.

    I love blue and green, and love dogs, and think vacation homes are a great place for whimsy. I do like the surfing dog sheets.


    I also think I might use crisp white sheets or narrow blue/white stripe sheets, and then get a pillow made for each bed using this fabric:

    If you are going for a cottage style, i really like the combo that Mtn shared.

  • 2 months ago

    All of them work --- everything shown here I think. I want to know what will make you smile when you pass this room?

  • 2 months ago

    Either the shells 1st choice or the tiny whales. Accent pillows as whimsical easy to change decor.

  • 2 months ago

    Maybe shells for summer and sweater dogs for winter? Best of all worlds!

  • 2 months ago

    Well, this room just never gets used in winter.


    I mean really, the sheets will be hidden under the quilt so I probably just need to calm down.

  • 2 months ago

    Option one is perfect. Let the green go rather than match.

  • 2 months ago

    oh i thought the quilt would be folded at the foot

  • 2 months ago

    Or turned down as in picture . Let them show!

  • 2 months ago

    I like the navy and white stars.

    I really like the comforter you selected and the scallop shell best. I opted for these for the cottage sleeping quarters at the Riverhouse. I was torn between the two, so I bought them both. One set has a soft green stripe snuck in the pattern

    I really like this combo


    Fun and interesting

  • 2 months ago

    I always like to visualize a similiar look to give me ideas. This blanket (?) is from Pottery Barn Teen shows a windowpane print sheet. The dog print is more fun.

    I like the third one in your original post. The floral with both blue and green.

    Like mojomom posted toward the end here...TBH...to me, it's the only one that looks really good and it needs to peak out of the blue and white quilt for sure and I love it has a more "fresh" look. I wouldn't worry about it being a "cottage-y" (which print is just too small) or coastal vibe look at all.

  • 2 months ago

    Well, my wallet was speaking and I found these Nautica sheets for $35! So I ordered them…at least worth a try!




    I went to TJM today and they had NO twin sheets. Are they hoarding them in the back for college shopping later in the summer??

    No those are the Twin longs, which one ever needs again. Which is ok since they are only washed biannually, and hence live short, troubled lives.

    @Sueb20 and those that liked the dog print...I was looking for a new cute case for my kindle and came across this. Very cute, although not the one I ordered.
