Miffy is owned by Dick Bruna, a Dutch graphic designer, not Sanrio. Some even argue that Sanrio stole the look.
Thanks for setting us straight! We corrected the story.

The color looks awfully similar to the one in my own room: Mellow Pink by Benjamin Moore.
Benjamin Moore does make a mellow pink that is very similar to this color... http://www.aboffs.com/paint.htm
I love the Tibetan rug but it is so expensive. Do you have cheaper alternatives?
thanks!!
I just tried the Mellow Pink from Benjamin Moore after reading this article but the effect is not as interesting: the Mellow Pink is extremely pale, almost white, and I feel it lacks of bit of life.
I can't find the pink canvas shades at pbteen.com anymore - it looks like they were recalled because of a potential safety hazzard. If you know of another place where we could find a similar product please let me know!
