apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

i didn't know dwell was making kids bedding for target... i was wondering when they were going to expand their crib bedding to toddler/twin bedding! i've been looking for twin bedding for my little boy... all their kids bedding looks pretty girly? why no boy bedding?

I'm with eribear 12- it's not fair that it is all for girls!

Eribear12 and Kimmiller, I hear ya! I may write about all this cute bedding, but for my son the pickins' are slim.

just like with the adult dwell for target patterns, I wish they made more that were the duvet cover, as opposed to the comforter.

lcg - there are duvet sets - priced the same as the comforter sets.

i actually have some of the Olivia. VERY BEAUTIFUL! there's also a shop on etsy; www.twogreenolivetrees.etsy.com who makes bibs, diaper sack in this fabric. so so cute!

Alex- I can't wait for your next post about modern boys beddings...Thanks!

so in my search for twin bedding for my little guy (i wanted something with color/pattern, no licensed characters, and affordable)

i decided to either go with the circo monsters or circo robots bedding from target. i held both up to my son and he chose the monsters (probably because the colors were brighter)

i'm satisfied with his choice... not as modern as dwell- but it is a kids room so it should be fun... and its better than disney or nickelodeon, just my opinion.

Oh, I'm so glad to see this post! I have the Olivia set for my daughter's room, but I have the crib set. She is in a toddler bed, and we use the crib-sized quilt on the toddler bed, along with the striped fitted sheet. But I was stuck about what to do for a pillow case, because the crib set obviously does not come with a pillow case. I ended up sewing a pillow case for her, using the co-ordinating receiving blankets from the Olivia range. I think it turned out quite well. I also have the matching curtains.

But I had been wondering what I would do when she grows out of the toddler bed. I love the curtains, and I've decorated the room around the theme (chocolate brown and pale pink on the wall, cream accents, etc). Now, it looks like I'll be able to buy the twin set when she is ready to move into a bigger bed! (although she may have her own opinion by then, and might want something completely different!!).

As far as boy bedding goes, Dwell does do boy-oriented sets for Target. I have the Dwell Circles set in my son's room, and they had an animal themed one as well when I was looking (about 10 months ago). I love the modern look of the Circles set. It is the crib set that we have (crib sized quilt, fitted sheet, etc) and matching curtains, plus the wall stickers. In his room we are also using the crib sized quilt on a toddler bed, so again not sure what we'll do when he grows out of that! Maybe Dwell will do a twin-sized version of the Circles set too?
