I'm redoing our guest room which is a dark room. This coverlet is reversible! What a pleasant surprise. The back side is white with gray leaves. For now, I have that side up and the pillows with the bird side out. It looks great. I'm planning to paint the room a very pale gray and this will look lovely against it. It fits the bed perfectly. It's replacing a regular twin coverlet which was a pain to put on the daybed. Nothing like getting the perfect thing on sale! Happy dance.
