catherine’s musings on bedding
Perhaps I am irreverent or something, but I found this crib bedding set to be a bit odd. Just something about it seems sorta… not babyish…
On the other hand, I adore the Pottery Barn set I am 99% settled on. I think I’ll just get the bumper and maybe a matching crib sheet… but I have learned that the crib skirt and other various pricey accessories are way overrated.
I must say, though, if I had unlimited funds, I think I’d have to go with this Serena & Lily set that practically makes me drool. Notice, I seem to be only considering the pink and green color scheme… and it makes me oh so very happy.
And as much fun as I have been having browsing for little girl things, boys can be fun to shop for too! In looking for Carson’s future “big boy bed” bedding (Lord, help us!), Matt and I both love this ultra manly football quilt. I just can’t bare to shell out 160 bucks for a quilt he’ll probably pee or color all over though.
So, the search for Carson’s bedding continues. As much as my convictions stand against it, I think we might go down the themed bedding route (i.e. sports or trucks), as I am willing to do whatever it takes to get the boy to sleep in a big bed when the time comes in few months.

She made our window treatment, bumper, crib skirt, and rocking chair cushion. I chose all the fabric so I was able to make it cheaper or more expensive based on what we found. She is amazing and I will be using her for the next room as well…
