Crib bedding and decorations

So, I love all the beautiful custom-made crib sets and related decorations.  However, the accountant side of me says how is that practical?  How is spending $400 on custom-made crib bedding that can be used for such a short-time.  Even if you say, you can reuse for second baby, how likely are the bumpers/sheets/etc likely going to be in good shape (ie not stained) after a newborn?  

But then it just seems so boring to just get basic stuff.  Just regular sheets, etc.  Same thing on the decorations, seems like such a waste to go buy all these decorations, that your kids may not even like or aren't practical (like those cool puff things people hang in the corners).

I know it's still early to be buying stuff, but what are you ladies thinking of doing?  I'm almost leaning towards not doing a real theme, just getting regular ole stuff.

    All the SIDs prevention information says no to crib bumpers and excessive bedding, so I'll plan to stick with a plain sheet and spend my money elsewhere.

    We're also going to keep it simple and just get a crib, mattress, and sheet. We're doing a "theme" in terms of clothing/bedding/etc design, but we're not going to go all out and decorate the nursery - the money will be better spent elsewhere! Heck, we might even reuse the plastic dresser I have from college for baby's clothes (at least at first).

    Mind you, we're also very practical people and we don't like clutter, so this is what works for us.

    Carousel Designs (www.babybedding.com) has hundreds of beautiful patterns and fabrics that aren't "themey." I purchased several coordinating items from them for DD's nursery.  Excellent quality, looks like custom, and doesn't cost an arm and leg.

    Carousel is one of the sites I love. Just not sure I can justify the costs of the "themes". I would love to, it just seems wasteful.
