Good Questions: Similar Color-block Blanket?

6-8-color-blanket.jpg

Hi Apartment Therapy, Do you happen to know where I can find the multi-colored blanket (not the orange comforter) used by MTV in their Real World Hollywood series? It would work perfectly in my bedroom, but after searching online I'm coming up empty. Thanks for the help! Valerie

Unfortunately, I don't know the source of the blanket, but I would like to know where the orange comforter and shams are from, if anyone knows.

Thanks :)

It is from Ikea! I know nothing more about it other than around the time this MTV was airing I saw it many times at Ikea and considered it for my room at home. (I wanted yellow instead of orange).

AprilAries, the orange comforter and shams look like Ikea. This is it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/heather_russell/2694464019/ but it doesn't seem to be on their website anymore. Perhaps it's still in the store though.

As soon as I found that link, I found a group on flickr for the orange comforter, AprilAries. Its called the Andrea Kakel Duvet from Ikea. Here is the group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/547874@N23/

It looks like a Denyse Schmidt design. I looked through her website, but didn't find this quilt shown above. Have a look. I'm certain you can find something similar. She has a whole line of rugby inspired stripes. There are too many beautiful quilts to choose from on the site.

She has her...

The Couture Quilts are crazy expensive.

Let us know if you find anything!!

This is exactly where they got it from. You can find out by checking the sponsors on the bunim murray website. They had similar ones in the Sydney house.

I would have gotten one myself but this queen has a king and can't afford the fabric...

the thread count/texture of the fabric is horrible on those orange ikea sheets FYI

I second the Denyse Schmidt supposition. If it's not hers, it's someone ripping her off :-)

I'm ashamed to admit it but after watching a season of real world sidney I couldn't help but want that duvet set. I bought it. Product placement worked for me!
