Too Feminine?

I've had a bit of a dilemma over the past few months. I haven't been able to find bedding that I like enough to buy.

I always "half-way" like something. You know... Feeling like, "It's alright... If I have to, I can live with it. But what if there's something else better out there?"

(Whoa!... That sounded like the complaints I hear from friends regarding dates!)

Anyway... Currently, the Husband and I have white bedding. We got it as a gift for our wedding. And I initially thought it would be way "chic" to have a white bedroom. But I'm too messy when it comes to white. And three years later, the bedding is marked with dark spots from shoes... Or coffee being spilled... (Opps! That was me!)...

So it's time for new bedding. But, another problem I have run into now is that I have to take into consideration what the Husband thinks of any bedding I am considering. With white, it was so easy. We both liked it. But now I find myself falling in love with a set of bedding that he is not crazy about...



It's green with a "vegetation" design on it. It's from Anthropologie, my favorite store, and it's so pretty. But Husband really wanted blue bedding. But everything he owns is blue.

Pale blue, to be exact. And I guess, to be fair, it's just his dress shirts that are pale blue. But that's all he owns. (Seriously!) He doesn't wear other colors. And I just want something different for our bedroom. Everyone has blue bedrooms when they become a "couple."

It's too safe. I want different, but not crazy.

So what do you think people? Is the bedding too "feminine?"
