Hudson's Nursery

S.O.S. HELP!!! 'Been looking for bedding for Hudson's nursery and I can't find any that make me go, "THAT ONE - that's the one". It doesn't usually take me long to decide what I like and once I pick something I usually just run with it, but no such luck on this one.

Here's an example: Grace's crib bedding was a discontinued, no-return Wendy Bellissimo set that I bought from a boutique in California BEFORE we knew she was going to be a girl - I just knew in my heart of hearts that she was a girl and luckily I was right, otherwise I don't think our son would have enjoyed the "Vintage Sophia Leopard" bedding as much as Grace has. So I need ideas from all you creative minds out there. Crib sets you've seen, color suggestions, good online sources, etc. Here's what I don't want: any type of strong theme like puppy dogs, sailboats, or anything like that - one exception, I do like to incorporate vintage elements and images, like vintage planes, football, etc. And although we are big LSU fans, I do not want a purple and gold nursery, though I'm certain we'll throw in some fun LSU items here and there :)

So far, this is what I've come across - I like certain things about each one, just not one that's the whole package.

Monkeys from Pottery Barn Kids - I like the modern colors, the crib skirt, and stripes on the wall (and I do have a little weakness for sock monkeys even with my theme aversion :) Asher Collection by Serena & Lily - this is probably what I like the most thus far, but they don't have this design/color scheme in a crib set . I really, really like that shaggy rug! All-American by Rosenberry Rooms - similar color scheme as the Asher set above but probably more red than I want Denim Patchwork crib and twin sets by Rosenberry Rooms Rex by Serena & Lily - simple, clean lines Skip Hop Mod Dot - color possibilities Alphabet by Dwell Studio for Target - colors and retro feel of the alphabet Pinwheels by MiGi Collection for Target - just because I like that old-fashioned pull toy dog! Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

  1. I love the alphabet set! Target has also gotten their new lines of dwell crib bedding (you've probably seen them already!) Have you looked at Restoration Hardware? They have some really cute, classic pieces in their baby lines! I would think patchworked plaid could be very sweet to coordinate with a vintage nursery. Keep the bumper simple (navy ticking) with a cute patchwork quit...shelves filled with primary colored vintage toys (think old metal trucks, pull toys, books, and of course a sock monkey)....HAVE FUN!!! My husband was dead set on airplanes (he's a pilot) if we had a boy so I went with PB's vintage plane line :)

  2. Hey. I will keep my eye out for boy bedding. I have always liked this one. It's green, white and brown, but I bet they have a pretty blue fabric to replace the green if you like that better. I love the clean lines of it and think it would look great with a Vintage look.

  3. I like that Asher set the most too. I'm really loving brown and blue together these days. I'm still trying to find me voice when it comes to boy stuff, so I dont have much to add. LOL
