I know its a bit early, but I have already been looking for baby bedding and trying to imagine my nursery. I wanted something neutral since I want to have more than one child and don't want to redo the nursery every time but I cant decide on one. Have you picked out your nursery bedding yet? If so, what kind and from where? Same with nursery furniture. What kind and from where?
Re: Crib Bedding- Did you pick one?
I've actually picked one for a boy and one for a girl because I really love bedding, and I spent nearly an entire work day looking through every crib bedding site I could find until I found things I liked. I'm extraordinarily picky and really money conscious so sometimes it takes me a really long time to find anything I like...especially bedding. Did I mention I really love bedding?
We are not registering for a full bedding set. I am an active volunteer in a SIDS awareness group and bumpers and heavy comforters are a no no in the crib with baby. So it seems like a waste of money to buy the whole bedding set and use the sheets. (I think I will ask my grandmother to make a coordinating quilt for when the baby is older)
We are doing the sheets, receiving blankets, and boa blanket from this set though:

I bought a bedding set at Baby Gap when I was pg with DD..I thought I'd return it if I wasn't having a boy. When it came time to return it, I couldn't part with it, so I figured I'd use it with the next one. I think I'll use it for either gender this time, its just too sweet not to.
Here's the only pic I can find online:

We bought one with DD and it was such a waste of money. I'm glad it was on clearance so I don't feel too bad about it.
The bumper would attach to DDs crib properly (because of the shape of her crib), so we didn't use it. The crib skirt was barely visible. We have the quilt with all of DDs other blankets, but she has hardly used it as it's not as soft or warm as other blankets.
We just got several crib sheets that coordinate with the rest of the room.
The only thing we actually used from DD's bedding set was the bumper...gasp....and the crib skirt. I will only buy pieces for this baby. Not a whole set.
