Coordinating Bedding for B/G Twins

Hi,
I just found out I am having b/g twins and have been looking everywhere for coordinating bedding for both genders. I wanted for each of them to have a crib with different bedding- that would still look good in the same nursery. I have found one pattern I like- the girl bedding has shades of pink/green/yellow and the boy bedding has shades of blue/green/yellow. But this is the only one I have seen. Any recommendations or thoughts on those of you who did a nursery for b/g twins?

 

we havn't bothered coordinating, but sticking with a theme like disney, winnie the pooh, bears, etc will help coordinate. Also many brands make the same pattern in multiple colors. I would visit Target.com and look at particular collections to see how they coordinate thier bedding.

I have treated getting items like bedding and clothing as an individual effort. I gave up on coordinating pretty quickly, so kudos to you for sticking with it

 

I would LOVE to see the bedding you found! I don't know yet what I'm having, but I have been thinking of decor if it is b/g. My latest idea is Tadpole basics for the crib bedding, pink/green and blue/green. Then I found a rug that is pink/blue/green and some lamps.

Here is the bedding:

crib skirt in green, both would have:

That is VERY cute. The bedding I am looking at is Bubble Gum and Gum Drop at www.bananafishinc.com
They are currently changing manufacturers (according to a shop that sells their items) and have been told the Bubble Gum will be made with slightly different colors now. Waiting for fabric samples to see how different things are.

tadpole is awsome, and can be found at Target.com

 

Not sure if they still have it anymore...but for my first dd I bought Malawi from BRU. It worked great for the twins...the colors are blue, green, yellow, and some peach... It was around for a long time after my dd, she's 4 now...but last time I was over at BRU I don't know if I saw it anymore...

That's what we're using! We're having boy/girl twins and I'm using solid colors for the bedding because we're trying to save money. We're using all the room/wall decorations from this set though. The bedding won't be the same for each crib because we're getting sheets in all the different colors, but it will all still match.

Like pp Target.com has some great ideas and you might want to try Walmart.com too. A lot of places have more choices online, so keep that in mind too.

 

Target has some cute stuff. Olive kids has some... I think Pottery Barn does too. I always liked the frog/dragon fly coordinates.

 

After we were originally told b/g, I got matching fabric (one set pink, the other blue) and my mom was going to make them -- do you have anyone who can sew?

I don't know about full size cribs, but I know that there is some mini-crib bedding that comes in blue, cream or pink as well.

 

We are having b/g twins and are going with pink and sage green in the nursery. As far as bedding, I found some really cute gingham sets in pink and green at Walmart.com, also IKEA has blue and pink prince and princess bedding. We'll prob get that as well since it is so inexpensive... I was having a hard time deciding on bedding too. I want them to go together.

 

I went with some Amy Coe bedding from Target. One was blue/green/white and the other was pink/green/white, so we painted the walls green to match and did white wainscoting. They don't seem to have the bedding sets I have anymore, but there are some REALLY cute Amy Coe sets on Target.com that would match each other really well! They're so affordable too.

 

We did red with firetrucks in our nursery. Dh and I are both firefighters so it fit for us. One crib had dalmation bedding and the other plain red.

 

I think this is what I'm going to do for my twins.
It's the same pattern just one is blue, one is pink.

and I think temporarily while I only have one crib set up I'm going to use this one:
