So after searching through bedding and being very disappointed (why do I want to pay so much money for something I don't love?) and a discussion with my crafty mom, she agreed to make a quilt for the bedding. So, although I know it's really early, I've started looking at fabrics.
For a girl, I wanted something feminine, but not necessarily pink. I found this collection at our local fabric store and fell in love. It's exactly what I wanted, a romantic bird theme, but not in your face. So this is what I'm thinking:
The top 5 fabrics would be quilted in either a baby block or brick pattern. I'm thinking minky dots for the backing. The bottom pink fabric would be used for the curtains and some accents. The bird egg pattern would be a band at the bottom of the curtains and a pillow and perhaps a few other accesories throughout the room.
If it's a boy, we'll use the egg print as inspiration and pick out solid colors that coordinate. I figure this is probably the best bet to keep with the bird theme and still keep it somewhat masculine (hubby will not allow floral in a boys room, haha).
So that's what I'm thinking for bedding. I have a few more things figured out for the nursery, but I think I'll keep them a surprise for another day.
