Got the crib today... but so stuck on bedding ideas

nikinlove · June 2012

I am so excited that I got baby Mason's crib today. However, I cannot decide on bedding ideas. It seems that the girls have more options that are appealing to the eye. I have thought about owls, sailboats, just a blue stripe and now nursery rhyme toile.

I am looking for ideas. What did you do your baby boy's room in?

PBK's the Very Hungry Caterpillar.

This is a work in progress but I got the A&A sheets

(the ones with the elephants). The colors in it are gray, green and white.

I got Pottery Barn valances and crib skirt in white with a gray stripe

(matches ok, not great but I think it'll be fine once I hang it up). Not sure what color the walls will be but I'm going to use those sheets as my starting point.

For DS1 I got an Eddie Bauer full comforter set and it has a construction theme. However, I realized how senseless all of the expensive accessories are so I am kind of piecing this new nursery set together from different places.

I should add I am in no way, shape, or form artistic or good at interior design so before I do anything I'm going to check with my aunt who is the Martha Stewart of our family.

This is adorable. If I didn't already get my sheets/valances/skirt I might consider switching!!

The Hungry Caterpillar is definitely cute. I may just go with a blue striped bumper pad and bedskirt and build from there. I never thought it would be this tough and I know it is more for me than it is for him

We are having a girl, but before we knew and were tossing around ideas we were going to do some sort of vintage airplane/vintage travel type of thing. I was going to do a blue striped crib skirt and a solid colored sheet, I found some on Restoration Hardware that I really liked.

We are doing a subtle transportation theme.

Using this bedding:

I don't have much to contribute except to say that I just bought my crib skirt from land of nod ($50). SOOOOOO much more affordable than PBK or other options.

They have a ton of cute sheets on sale for 8 or 9 bucks. Some bedding sets are on sale too.

I had the same problem and eventually decided to pull out my sewing machine and make my own bedding. I know the look of the bedding is for my benefit not the baby's so I just couldn't justify the $350-400 of the bedding I liked.

If you like owls, I love this set from Dwell Studio:

It is on clearance right now at BuyBuyBaby for $299 - I think you could then use a 20% off coupon. The fabric is really nice and soft and the trees on the bumper are sewn on with a thicker material (felt?) so it has some actual texture too. If I didn't already have my fabric I would so go buy this now!

There was a set that someone had on here that I thought was awesome - I think it was this. It's called Moving Gears by Skip Hop.

I LOVE the colors - it's the same colors we are actually using, but we are doing a sailboat/ocean theme. We have a couple decor things that we can use with that theme, and DH really likes it.
