Bought bedding!

So I was pretty set on the Bananafish Love Bird bedding, but last night dh and I stopped by BRU and we found this bedding set (Bloom by Amy Coe) on clearance for 1/2 off. 

We also found the lamp 1/2 off

Then a nice lady gave us a 20% off coupon, so the two items cost us a whopping $95!

So today we scoured FIVE other BRU locations in Houston and were able to piece together 2 extra crib sheets (plus my sister out of state found 4 more...no worries, a few will be converted for a seat cushion for the window seat in the nursery and/or curatins).  They were at a store that was closing, so we got an extra 20% off the 7.98 sale price.  We also found the wall decals, two fleece blankets that coordinate, and the 2 piece canvas art both 1/2 off plus 20% more. We spent $43 on all that.

I am pretty stoked at the great price we got everything for and am so excited to get started with the nursery now!  I just need to decide what colors to paint...am thinking pink and yellow...thoughts?

Since the bedding and decor accessories are such bright colors I would leave the walls white, so that the colors in the decor "pop" more, but that is just what I would do. I love the bedding choice!

I thought about that...but with white furniture, I was afraid it would be too white.  Definitely thinking lighter colors on the walls, I agree about wanting the bedding to pop!

Ohhhhhhhh - Love everything!  I say just a pale yellow or just a pale pink - not two-toned and nothing too dark. 

I had a crappy BRU experience - took the hour ride yesterday and they didn't have the stroller I wanted to try out (we even brought our carseat so I could try it with that and DD), didn't have the glider I wanted, and didn't have bedding we both liked. 

I helped a woman who was shopping with her husband though.  She was clueless, looked very scared and seemed to be struggling to pick out a breastpump.  Her baby was in the NICU at the local hospital and they were there buying a pump - I helped her and gave her my 20% off coupon - it was nice to help someone else.

The bedding is REALLY pink, so I wouldn't paint the walls with pink at all.  I'd paint with a pale yellow, so the white furniture AND the bedding will both pop.

I think a pale yellow is definitely the way to go. Love the bedding so cute!

Pretty! I think pale yellow on the walls would look pretty... or maybe even a really light green.

I love Amy Coe!

Very cute!

I think a very pale green would be really pretty and be a soothing element against the bright colors.

What a deal!  It's such a pretty bedding set, and I think pink and yellow would be lovely!

This. I think a green would really let the bedding stand out. Too much pink might make it all blend together. The bedding is beautiful and congrats on all of those sales.

That's fantastic!  I'm hoping to find some good deals like that when I go shopping with my mom on the 10th.

Very pretty!! A soft butter yellow would be beautiful on the walls.

Love Bird is cute, but I love what you got!  Super, super cute.
