Cute or ridiculous??

edited July 2013 in October 2013 Moms
Ok so I was just playing around with this tu tu table cloth I made for a friends baby shower a few years ago. I've been planning to make a crib skirt for my baby but since I had all this tulle laying around I figured I would play with it a bit. So tell me... Is this cute, or way over the top ridiculous?? I can't decide, and I already know what my husbands opinion will be ;) The mattress isn't in the bed yet, but I want to have a gray fitted sheet. Maybe white with grey polka dots or something, but my theme is pinks white and grey.

Eta- it will be tucked under like in the second picture, and there is not yet a mattress in this crib.

Re: Cute or ridiculous??

  • I hate overly girly stuff, so I vote ridiculous but I have a feeling many on here will think it's adorable.

  • It made me smile big, so I think it's somewhere between cute and ridiculous. That just about perfectly describes my dd, so I think I love it. I think my puppy dog would love to shred it into a million pieces though.

    This. I am just not a fan of frilly, pink, over the top "GIRLY" stuff. That and I don't really care for crib skirts. It is way too much for me.
    This is me too.
    I wouldn't side eye you for doing it though. I am just not a girly girl.

    I LOVE it!! I think it is beautiful!!! I wanted to do something similar for LO's bed but lack time and patience.
  • Someone I know did this for her little girl. It looks much softer and playful in person I think.

  • A bit much... But does look cute!
  • It's cute. I couldn't do it for my nursery, but I can see it really fitting in a girly nursery.

  • Totally ridculous.  That being said do what you want, you love it, do it.

  • Too over the top for me, but like picking a baby name, it's what YOU love that matters! (Within reason haha)

  • I get your hesitation, but having a very girly daughter I know she would LOVE something like that. It's a lot for adults but these girly girls can't go over the top enough! You'll see :)
  • I think it's cute, but I don't have an ounce of tomboy in me and would have LOVED this when I was little!

  • I am a girly girl and am in between cute and ridiculous. I think I would like it more if it was a softer pink?? I am not sure. You are better than me though cause I have not a creative bone in my body.
  • I think it's super cute, and just because you have a tutu bedskirt doesn't mean you need to go over the top with other decorations...

  • NMS but I don't side eye it. As long as it's not accompanied by a "princess" theme.
    SQUIRREL!!!

  • I love girly things, so I love it! :) And I agree about the grey- I think having grey around would offset it enough to not be overly girly.

  • I think it's cute! NMS, personally, but I think you did a great job on it. We also have a pink/gray/white theme in DD's room and I think it will look sweet.

  • I could never do it. Wayyyy too over the top for my taste. I'm also someone who would never put an actual tutu on my child unless she was a real ballerina. BUT if you like it then go for it. 
  • I don't mind girly stuff, but this is nms.  I think there is just too much.  Maybe if there weren't so much tulle and it weren't so high up.  Like if it started below the mattress and just stuck out at the bottom or something.  Idk.  There's just something about it that doesn't work for me. I think it has potential though.  But again, there is just too much for me.
  • I love tulle, but it may be a bit much. I'm doing the same colors in my nursery, but using pink grey and white chevron with hints of polka dots and solids. I found these cute tulle Pom-poms you can make and hang from the ceiling on Pinterest. That might be a good way for you to include a little froo froo to the room!

    It's NMS, but think its cute! Especially if you are doing a really "girly" room.

    Thanks for the responses ladies! It will look more like this when its actually done, not so poufy. Also the mattress is not in there yet, but I will have a gray and white polka dot sheet on the mattress that will help tone it down a bit.

  • It's a bit much for me but if you like it keep it!
  • I couldn't do it, personally.

    I am not a girly girl, either, but you know what... being pregnant with my baby girl makes me want to put her in super cute ridiculous sh!t, just because, well, she is so precious to me, and so adorable. . . . . I honestly can Not help it.

     When I first got pregnant, I swore I would not put her in anything pink. It was going to be green everything (since that is my favorite color) - - - maybe it is just my pregnancy brain, but this tulle bed skirt idea is too frickin adorable; I love it.

     

  • If the whole nursery is covered in pink that bright I would say a bit much, but since you are using it with softer colors I like it.  I think I like the first picture a little better.  If you are a girly, girl go for it.  But, this is coming from a girl who had pink walls with purple trim growing up.

  • I like it. My DD would go crazy for it!

  • It's NMS but I think if you like it then go for it!. Maybe if you cut some off the bottom so it just barely sits at the floor? It just seems a little too bunched and wild.

    NMS but I know if I was having a girl I'd be all over that and trying to do the same.
