I selected this nursery theme because we wanted to celebrate nature/animals without the ever-so-popular jungle/safari/rainforests. I'm just not into monkeys all that much. There are only a few forest themes to be found and this is by far the most adorable (the owl faces in the Lambs and Ivy set seemed scary to me.)
This valance has several textures- linen, quilted, corduroy/chenille, and velvet. The textures add so much to the product and you can't tell this from the picture. I was also surprised at how long each valance is (only one comes in a pack- I bought two). So much nicer in person than expected.
Bottom line- these animals are cute and sweet, with just enough contrast for visual stimulation, and muted/soft enough to be tranquil. So glad to have found this set! Perfect for a boy, but if you add enough female touches to the room, a little girl would love it (the dots help)!
Painting the Nursery:
The colors include several shades of brown, green, tan, and the fox has a muted red tail. We went to Sherwin-Williams for paint (Harmony and Duration lines have the least VOCs with the the best quality reviews. We haven't painted yet- but as research goes, it's the best for nurseries without spending a crazy a amount of money for boutique nursery paint).
Paint Color Suggestions:
-For a sky blue we chose Tibetan Sky (a little pale so you might want to go a shade darker)
(a lighter shade of the blue in the bedding)
-For greens we chose Great Green and Leapfrog
(Leapfrog matches the wall decals for this set perfectly),
-For tree browns we chose Grounded and Java
(Java matches the tree branch in the decals),
-For white clouds we chose Westhighland White
After primer (1 gallon), 2 gallons color, 4 quarts (room size 10 x 11) our cost was at $120. You can get 10% off by becoming a preferred customer (which is free to do).
Hope some of this helps! Happy nursery planning!

I got this complete set for my daughter before her son was born.It makes the cutest boys room.I actually purchased an extra sheet and made curtains out of it to match everything else.It worked perfectly!
I am very pleased so far. I have not washed it yet but the quality seems very nice. Looks even better in person that in pics on line.
I was very impressed when I received my bedding.The design and quality exceeded my expectations.
We love everything about this set! Great quality and simply too cute!! The colors are very warm w/ lots of browns. Perfect!
I chose this set because it was Carters and it was something different than jungle, dogs, and transportation.We also figured it was not too baby, so when my little guy is older he can use it as a toddler bed set.
