Farmhouse Bedroom with Watercolor Bedding

By Anita 55 Comments

I’ve been working on the girls’ bedroom. I thought it would be fun to change things up a bit. It’s nice to have options. As a reminder, here is what it looked like last time.

I’m working on redoing this room and adding more fun. Evie wanted something with more color, and boy does this have color.

Now what I love about this bedding is the large size scale of the pattern. It doesn’t repeat at all. It looks like someone took watercolors and painted the fabric directly. I love the way the duvets look like paintings.

The colors feel so free and crisp.

See how fresh they look?

I’m not done in here. I have new lavender benches coming for each bed, so I’ll be rotating the burlap ottomans out. I don’t think they really go with the current look. I have so many ideas swirling in my head.

Below I did something fun, combining the old look with the new. See how I add the gingham back on the beds? Which do you prefer?

    duvet colors even more. Love it!!!!

    I love everything you’ve put together. The girls would be happy with any of them. My only concern is some of the pillows are a bit pricey, for me any way.

    LOVE the combination with the gingham. The addition makes it look very high end and the pattern on pattern gives it a great designer vibe. What little girl wouldn’t love snuggling in these beds while sharing secrets with the girls snuggling in the other beds! Wonderfully girly! Great job!!!

    I love the gingham added back in! It definitely looks more “Frenchy” that way. I also miss the little dresses, but I understand how as the girls get older, they want a more sophisticated look. You do what you gotta do, right?

    I prefer the blue gingham. The pink is soft and pretty. However, for my personal taste, I think the pink is a bit too pale for the brighter colors on the duvets. The watercolor duvets do give the room a totally different feel to the room. It’s a nice alternative look.

    I definitely think the gingham is needed to tie this room in with the rest of the house. The watercolor print is beautiful, but it has a totally modern feel in my opinion.

      I love the watercolor with the gingham. The reason I love the watercolor is for the exact reason you stated, there is no repeat! I’ve been looking for something similar because I like the idea that every one is unique depending on where the fabric is cut. I love the lavender accent and can’t wait to see the benches.

    Beautiful bedding choices Anita! The watercolor bedding brings soft and vibrant colors to the girls bedroom and allows so many options for other enhancements as well. Looking forward to seeing your next post. I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your book French Accents. It sits on the table next to my arm chair. I have learned so much from it and the photography is beautiful… Thank you so much!

    What a light and airy feel to the new bedding. I actually prefer it with the gingham sheets. Wondering whether you will change the wall color. Maybe it’s just the photos but I can’t really tell the actual color. Whatever it is seems a little drab with the new bedding look. I know painting is a bigger job than just changing the linens, so you might not be up to that right now.

    How do the girls like the change?

    Anita, you have done such a lovely job with the bedroom for the girls! I love how you have put the gingham with the watercolor duvet. It’s so pretty! I love gingham — so country! Our kitchen and dining room are done in blue gingham with white wainscotting! I just love “country”!

    Have a great day!

    As I write, we have gale force winds, snow and huge waves pounding our shoreline. Winter has finally arrived here! We had one of the mildest Novembers on record! It was great not having any snow until now! It is finally feeling like Christmas here!

    Well, I guess it’s nearly unanimous-the gingham is a real winner! I’ve always loved mixing patterns. It gives such a finished look. As a mother of two boys, I think having daughters must be a great treat when it comes to decorating rooms. I can’t wait to see them with your finishing touches.
