Need opinions on bedding/accessories

Tonya_G

So, I found the cutest lampshade today at IKEA, and went ahead and got it, because I am a nerd, and have my hopes up that we're having a girl and I think this would be cute in a girl's room. I have the receipt, so if I find out at the u/s that it's a boy, I can return it. So, anyways, I had picked out two bedding sets that I really liked, but can't decide if the lampshade really goes with either, or if I should start hunting down some fabric that would match and make my own bedding (which would probably be more cost effective anyways, but I digress!)

Here's the shade:

Here's bedding collection #1:

And #2:

Thoughts???

I really like #1. ?Where's it from?

From the photos, it looks like #1 goes with the lampshade pretty well, but I'm all for the cost-effective home made variety as well.

Super cute lampshade!  If you don't have a girl, you could always re do your master or a guest room around that shade because it's really pretty!

BRU, of all places. I think it's only available for order online though.

No guest room, unfortunately, we have a 3 BR house, so the baby's room is our former guest room. And DH balks at florals in our bedroom, so no hope for the master either.

The lamp is really cute.

Bedding for baby was a waste of money though. You can't use the quilt, and the bumper isn't in there very long either.

It might be more cost effective to pick out sheets and a dust ruffle and curtains that coordinate with the lamp, then use artwork or a rug to tie in a theme.

That's really cute!!  And I think #1 goes perfectly.

#1. I think the lamp would match great.

Oh, I totally know this... but it doesn't stop me from thinking it's a cute set. I really like set #1 anyways, because it doesn't have one of those traditional thick comforters- it's more like a quilt and has a soft, velvety backing, so I figure it can be used for tummy time or as a blankie for when LO gets older. I was thinking along the lines of just hunting down individual pieces too- that's where my idea of making some of my own stuff came in.

I like #2 better, but they are both cute

I don't know why, but, that lamp made me think of this set (from JCPenney). I liked it a lot until we decided to skip bedding sets this time. I think it's a cute little lamp shade- I almost picked it up for our nursery- and still might go back.

 

That's cute too... you realize you're not helping in this narrowing down process, right?

I love the lampshade! Bedding set #1 is my favorite.

Ha! Now you better have a girl in there, after all this strife over bedding.

I had no idea how fun nurseries would be the second time around- I thought I'd be over them after the first! Nope.

I know- I had no troubles picking out DS's though, b/c I knew exactly what I wanted. I actually like the boy bedding more than the girly stuff, believe it or not!

I know I'm a total dork for even thinking about all this until the big u/s, but, a girl can dream, can't she? lol

Cute lampshade!!

I've seen bedspread #1 and really liked it, except for the bedskirt... is it tulle? The pattern on the quilt/bumper are super cute.

I really like 1 and it goes well with the lamp shade!
