Baby Bedding - Mobile,AL
I have been looking for baby bedding. I can't find any I absolutely love. I have stalked babies r us, nothing that I like. I don't want anything themed or babyish. I understand it's for a baby but I hate the baby animals etc. Any ideas
So What Happened?™
Thanks all of you for your suggestions!

Hi!
Congratulations! How exciting! I can totally relate. I had the same problem and went bananas trying to find something just right. After all that, I bought inexpensive,plain bedding from ebay, went to the fabric store and found the exact pattern and color I had envisioned and brought it all to the cleaners to have them recover everything. It was much less expensive than if I had bought it from one of the fancy bedding places, it was exactly what I had wanted and kind of fun that it's one of a kind!
Hope this helps and happy shopping!

Look at www.gagababygear.com! It's a lady who custom makes anything for baby! She made me two carseat covers (one for a boy and one for a girl) and I LOVE them! I don't know how much she charges for bedding. You can pick any pattern, design or theme you want!
Good Luck!

Try overstock.com. They have a pretty good selection at great prices.

What's your budget? Pottery Barn Kids had some cute striped stuff. I also got a Curious George bed sheet (themed but it looks very vintage which made it cool) from them. Dwell Studio makes ultra modern bedding but pricey.
The internet has a lot of choices.

A tip on sheets....get the Quick Zip Crib Sheets (you can buy them on amazon). The top of the sheet just zips on. I LOVE them. I got a couple extra 'tops' and it makes for easy cleanup whenever my littlest would spit up a bunch in her crib OR when my little boy would have an accident with potty training. I remember spending so much time trying to get stupid fitted sheets on and off the crib mattress without messing up the bumper or ruffles......I was SO glad when I found these sheets!

I had the same issue with my second. I ended up finding exactly what I wanted on ebay. The ebay store I used was called ComfyMe. She has a lot of great stuff in her store and it wont break the bank! There were also lots of other great baby bedding stores on ebay.
Good luck and congrats!

Good suggestions so far. I was also going to suggest Pottery Barn, as well as Land of Nod. Amazon and Overstock were also a good suggestions I hadn't thought of. I'd maybe even do a google search for something like "striped" baby bedding, or whatever pattern you're into. If you don't care so much about the bedding, bumper, etc. then just do some sheets you like and decorate any way you want, since you aren't that into a theme anyway! Congrats!
