The Nursery...continued

As soon as I started looking for bedding, I realized how much of an industry nursery decor is. Holy moly...there are a lot of different bedding designs, many with matching accessories like curtains, mobiles, rugs, diaper bags, lamps, even light switch covers. You can literally blanket a nursery with anything from teddy bears and frogs to trains and barnyard animals. Or, you can be high-brow and do strips and polka dots, ensuring your baby will grow up in Restoration Hardware-ville.

Given that we already had some animal-clouds painted on the ceiling, we had already set ourselves in the direction of cute animalia, and we found some decor with sheep motif that was cute enough, without having so many different accessories that we'd be tempted to dress up the nursery in baa-aaa-ad taste.

Here's the crib bedding set.



We liked the pale green that dominates the palette as a balance to the yellow and blue paint in the room.


And there is some plaid in the pattern that reduces to uber-cutesy impact.



So, with sheep on the ceiling and sheep in the bed, it's like we're casting a spell of sweet sleep and dreams for Newbie.
