Default Toddler room decorating help

We ordered Lauren's bed and new "big girl" furniture a few weeks ago, and I'm trying to find a quilt or comforter that will work well enough with what we've already got in there. I have a few options, but nothing perfect. The colors have been hard to match.

I've spent more time than I care to admit to over the past few weeks scouring every online children's bedding store I can find, so now I'm turning it over to the experts here. Choose between these, link me up to something better, or point me to a bedding store you love. I'll take any help you can throw my way! I've checked Olive Kids, The Company Store, Land of Nod, Pottery Barn, Target, and a bunch of lesser known stores that came up in search engines.

Here's her nursery, done in Birdsong by Kidsline. The new furniture is white, but other than that the room is the same as in the LO.



Here's option 1, Daisy Garden by Pottery Barn.



Here's option 2, Haley by Pottery Barn. The theme is perfect, but the colors aren't as good as option 1. Is it close enough?



Thanks!

I like option two better. I'm about to do this with my sons room. I think I'm going to make his bedding set cos I know nothing will match perfectly!

I like #2 as well.

And feel lucky - nothing matches my daughter's room. We painted it for my 5 year old boy when we bought the house and it's a vivid primary yellow and green.

I guess I am the odd man out cuz I like the first one...I think it's because I think the flowers work so well together.

Thanks for the help! I like the one with the trees and birds better, too, but I didn't think the colors were close enough. I'll have to go take a look in person, but if I like it I'll probably go with that one.

They are both super cute, so you can't go wrong! I prefer the first one due to the color palette, but the second one is nice too. I just adore PB bedding! Our entire house (4 beds) is adorned in it.

lol, that is too funny Meg. I just noticed the post directly above mine was recent and obviously didn't look to closely at anything else!

LOL-what a blast from the past! In person the colors from #2 were too different, so we went with #1 even though I'd have chosen #2 if I was starting from scratch. Now that DD is 3.5 and has very strong preferences about everything, I can say that choosing flowers over birds and trees was a good call.

Already scrapped and everything, thanks to Melissa and Allie releasing the perfect kit for them!



Unfortunately, the cute vinyl tree on the wall met with an unfortunate fate at the hands of the tempermental 3.5 year old.
