| I dont think pastel is a problem given the white/tan you already have-- in fact, I think it makes a lot of sense. I do like the bedding but because it is so colorful, it does lean a little young. That's not a bad thing. It makes it very easy to mix and match other colors in your decor.. but it isnt the vibe I'd want in my master. There are so many of those kinds of bedding sets at TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Macy's. I've picked up many over the years because they are so affordable and provide a fun update with little cost. I'd check out each of those and see if you can find something that really sparks you! |

| What about using the quilt with different accents than the stripe? For me the stripe is what makes it play a little young, but that quilt with a muted solid would be beautiful. Pale aqua, maybe? |

| I love the paisley coverlet but not the rest of the ensemble shown. If you choose the darkest color in the cover like the green or the dark coral a bed skirt only. Then I'd use shams the creamy color of the drapes, white pillow cases and sheets. The coverlet is gorgeous. I personally would use the green for a bed skirt and then put a few organic items around in the same tone. It would feel tropical but not "cookie cutter". |

| I am in Ft Myers, where did you buy? The snowbirds have started to head this way the past two weeks. It is so exciting when all my seasonal friends return. |

| We bought in Nokomis just off 41==next door to our daughter older neighborhood--not gated...would have preferred newer home but couldn't pass up opportunity to be close to grandson... Suggestions to use solid dust ruffle is good...also like the look of tucked quilt for the clean-lined look..I am drawn to coral... |
