The theme I am thinking about doing for my childs nursery is "Eric Carle". I LOVE LOVE LOVE the illustrations in his books, and think they would be super cute in a nursery. My problem is that I am not sure how available things are within that theme (bedding, wall decor, etc).
What do you guys think!?
Is it too specific of a theme?
Have you seen items that would go well in it in stores or online?
I also love that idea! I'm not sure if they still carry it, but last time I checked Pottery Barn Kids had an adorable crib bedding set and decor for "The Very hungry Caterpillar". You could even just get the crib sheet so you don't waste money on the set.
Great idea! You could keep it simple with a few accessories directly related & then a fitted sheet in primary colors. If want more, someone pobably makes the wall clings to match the theme or you could use a coordinating wall color. Is nice because is fairly open ended.

I also saw the bed set on PBK and it is cute! However I have seen this theme gone really wrong! I think that you need to just do a few pieces with the theme. So if you do a bedding theme pull out a color from the bedding and highlight the room with that color. I wouldn't do bedding, curtains, rug, lights and pictures all Eric Carle.
Eric Carle's style is very vibrant and can be a little overstimulating and IMO nurseries should be calming!
I would stick with the primary colors and then do a few specific Eric Carle decorations. I think the whole bedding, curtains, wall decor, etc. would be overkill. It definitely could be cute though.
