If you have a spare minute?

How about a googling challenge to find me a blue bedspread that I like better than this one

this one is a bit much for my tastes but might do if I can find nothing else

Thanks - I'll try and return the favour some day!

do you want it to be patterned, like that one, or would you prefer plain? what's the room like that it's going in?

too dark?

this is nice and plainer

a little too much too?

Tutter - I would like some sort of pattern but the one I have shown is a bit too 'busy'. Perhaps a smaller more understated pattern.

Room it is going in has mid blue wallpaper with subtle 'texture effect' pattern (sounds hideous but is quite nice) and pale blue curtains with large mid blue pattern on them.

Thanks trinityrhino, I like that one - nice deep colour, but would prefer some pattern...(not to sound too ungrateful for your efforts I hope)

hmmm maybe?

doesn't sound ungrateful at all hun, I know what it's like to be trying to find the right thing

gotta do the mummy thing now and get dd1 ready for school, will check your thread later to see if I can help anymore

because if you want patterned (and like that fancy french look that's everywhere at the mo) marks has this albeit for £95.

or if you want to be a true MNer, why not splash out on this from cath kidston ?

haven't found a nice plain one yet...

I quite like the Cath Kidston one - I'll be buying boden next!

Off to make ds and dd breakfast now (I'm being neglectful!). Will check in later....

thanks ladies

monsoon has a (pricey) oriental one here - not sure if it'll be the right blue though...

Hang on...before I go.. just seen the Marie Claire Tropicana bedspread and it's fab. That's definitely on the shortlist!

I like the Marie Claire one- very nice.
