Paisley design was exactly what I was looking for. I wish they were higher thread count and I wish the print was on both sides of the flat sheet but otherwise love love love. I was planning to go with a gray sheet but I really like the way the white background goes with the sold print of the comforter and decorative pillows. I always end up messing up my pillow cases so I'm glad it came with 4 so I have 2 spares.
