These are really nice. Well done!

Pardon my gender theory, but why would this only be "for boys"?

About the gender theory, probably the reason why they are "for Boys" is because of the preordained notion that certain things are for boys and certain things are for girls. It's kind of like a habit. When one normally thinks of boats, trucks or planes they immediately think of boys. Same goes for say ponies, flowers and the color pink--immediately girls are thought of.

Remember SILENCE=DEATH.

I don't think the wheel graphic looks odd on the double bed. In fact I kind of prefer it like that.

Thank you all for the nice comments! And yes, the "for boys" is kind of a cultural generalization. Of course you can use them for girls or even for adults, and I suppose nautical is more of an androgynous thing anyway. But since it started out as a set of boy appropriate bedding, I tried to use more of the darker colors seen in nautical motifs rather than the lighter blues or more yellow or white which might appeal more to your average girl, and therefore decided to stick with the label "for boys."

I really love this! But where did you find the nautical themed decor on the walls?
