In the Nursery: Organic Giraffe Bedding

elizabeth leach — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 17:00:00 GMT

I saw the above crib bedding in person and was really impressed. The pattern is so fresh and charming. The giraffes are hand painted and the coordinating crib skirt is white with pink flowers and grey vines. A bumper, fitted sheet, crib skirt, sham and quilt are available in this collection. For boys, there is a similar version in blue with zebras.

Made from super soft, organic cotton. Find the pink G is for Giraffe bedding and blue Z is for Zebra bedding at Pottery Barn Kids.

In the Nursery: Loving these Colors!

elizabeth leach — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 14:00:00 GMT

A pink, orange, green and blue flowered quilt and matching bumper is perfect for spring. And they happen to be on sale!

The coordinating fitted sheet is no longer available, but don't let that stop you. Pair the bumper with a solid pink or green sheet and crib skirt and you've got yourself a cheerful, contemporary bedding set that's also a great deal.

The bumper is now $29.99 and the quilt is $44.95. The Andi Nursery Bedding is at Pottery Barn Kids.

Vintage Lullabye Crib Bedding

AmandaHill — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 22:30:00 GMT

I love crib bedding. Love it! When I had to take down my daughter's crib and store the bedding, I was somewhat devastated. It's all so tiny and perfect. The vintage Lullabye Crib Bedding set seen above really caught my eye. It's made from 100% cotton fabrics and is soft and plushy in all the right places.

The bedding is part of the Fairytoes collection by Tina Givens. Check it out at The Whimsical Tutu.

In the Nursery: Modern Crib Set at Walmart

elizabeth leach — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 14:00:00 GMT

Save money and live better! This pillow belongs to a very cool crib set (photo is below). With a simple, modern design that is both sweet and modern, the crib set is right up my alley! (Photos of the entire set and more accessories after the jump.)

The crib set photo (above) is too small to see the bumper so I'm showing you the valance (below photo) which has the same brown and white boxes that frame the bumper.

Purchase the four piece crib set for $56.88. The valance is $9, diaper stacker is $7, ceiling light is $10 (above photo), blanket is $8 and pillow (first photo) is $6. Find the Sumersault's Lollylane Modern 4-Piece Crib Bedding Set at Walmart.

This bedding set by Bananafish is so fresh and fun. The colors are lime green, red, pink and lavender with a polka dot fitted sheet, mod flowers on the bumper and flowers and stripes on the skirt. The photo isn't great, but the price of the entire set makes up for it. Buy the set for $89.99!

Find Bananafish's Garden Party Crib Set at Target. (And see the zoomed in photo for a closer look!)

elizabeth leach — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 18:00:00 GMT

DwellStudio for Target has a few new bedding collections that are fresh and modern. In other words, exactly what we would expect from DwellStudio. See more of the new designs after the jump...

The above fitted sheets are from their Birds, Elephants and Circles and Rings Collections.

I love the above knit blankets from the Circles and Rings Collection and Birds Collection. Each are only $16.99. Very mod! The below photo is the Elephant Collection bedding set.

Fitted sheets are $10.99 each and bedding set is only $34.99. In this scary economy, it makes sense to shop DwellStudio for Target. It also just looks really cool.

Big Deal: 75 Percent Off Nurseryworks Dottie Crib Set

Heather Kuldell — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 13:09:00 GMT

Nothing about the Dottie Crib Set says “baby sheets” except the size. This 100 percent cotton poplin Nurseryworks crib set was created with New York-based design firm twenty2, known for its refreshing patterns in wallpapers and fabrics. The Dottie Crib Set features a combination of contrasting geometric patterns in two color schemes: lime and black or lavender and gray. Normally the set would cost you $350, but you can nab one at Spunky Sprout’s winter sale for $88. Each set contains a crib-size fitted sheet, crib skirt, bumper and quilt. Other Nurseryworks patterns are on sale too, like Sweet Violet Tisket, Chock-A-Block and Bounce.

Coming Soon: Crib Bumpers Go Vertical

Lisa Mulcahy — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:00:00 GMT

For safety, the experts recommend removing crib bumpers once your infant is mobile and can potentially boost himself out of the crib with the aid of the bumpers. But I recall many nights when an otherwise sleeping and happy baby awoke with a wail because of bumping his head on the crib rails. Well … leave it to a fellow mommy to solve the problem.

Go Mama Go Designs has come up Wonder Bumpers, which are vertical pads that zip on to each crib rail. Because each rail is wrapped individual there’s more airflow into the crib, baby can see out and they avert the inevitable head bumping. Wonder Bumpers will be available February 1, keep an eye on the website.

elizabeth leach — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:04:00 GMT

Imagine lying in your crib and seeing animals all around you, clouds above them, and leaves beneath you. Animal Parade Bedding is whimsical in a gentle, soothing way. I love the way the bedding envelopes the crib in playful nature. With a 233 thread count, these organic sheets are luxuriously soft.

ABC Kids Expo 2008: Crib Grass Crib Bumper from Boon

Chris Ford — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 18:29:00 GMT

I'm not a fan of crib bumpers. To me they don't really keep the baby safe from anything, and I when I had infants I ended up worrying more about the baby pulling on the bumper or getting caught in it. Boon has a whole new take on crib bumpers that seems to solve those concerns, all while looking pretty cool too - Crib Grass.

As you can (hopefully) see in the picture, Crib Grass sticks up all around the crib and is soft, plush, and can be easily pulled down and grabbed by babies. It kind of works like an upside down fitted sheet. You put it on under the mattress after putting on the normal fitted sheet. When you flip over the mattress the crib grass sticks up where the bumper goes.

It's not available until early 2009 and they didn't have a price point yet. Check out other products from Boon at BoonInc.com.

New from DwellStudio: Expect to be Wowed

elizabeth leach — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 14:25:00 GMT

Copycat designer baby decor is popping up on all the shelves these days. And while I love getting a good deal at the big baby stores, the design is never as good as the real thing. DwellStudio is a pioneer of forward thinking, contemporary design for babies and kids (Adults, too!) Creating sophisticated color combinations and patterns, while appealing to a child's sense of playfullness, DwellStudio never panders. DwellStudio did the brown and pink thing before anyone.

DwellStudio’s new collection of bedding and accessories are as fresh as ever with many new products to wow us. Expect to see mod bookends and piggy banks, colorful backpacks, stylish storage baskets, fashionable shower curtains, and beautiful wool rugs. But, the new collection is not just about quantity. Every season I fall in love with DwellStudio's textiles, which find the perfect balance of modern and just enough sweet. With DwellStudio, there’s always a beautiful surprise.

DwellStudio's new collection will be available this October. Shop DwellStudio.

Turtles with a Twist

Lisa Mulcahy — Thu, 01 May 2008 16:36:00 GMT

Although it seems to be everywhere, I’m still loving powder blue and chocolate brown. The brown seems to ground what could otherwise be a wishy-washy pastel. Add to it these modern turtles and I think it’s a winning combo. And this time it’s affordable.

The Mod Turtle Collection from Kidline has the perfect blend of modern geometric pattern that takes a not-so-serious turn with the untraditional blue turtles. From crib linens to curtains, rugs and accessories, there’s a complete selection of Mod Turtles to choose from.

Crib bedding $152.50, along with all the other affordable accoutrements, at Amazon.

Sneak Peek: Jennifer DeLonge Bedding

Lisa Mulcahy — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 12:56:00 GMT

You’ve heard about interior designer Jennifer DeLonge before on Droolicious. Now the rock star wife of former Blink 182 singer Tom DeLonge has set her sights on a sophisticated bedding collection. Her first forte into soft goods, DeLonge’s line will feature nine styles made with fantastic Marimekko fabrics. A three-piece set, composed of a fitted sheet, bumper and skirt, will retail for $559 and is expected to debut at high-end stores in June.

7 Days of Bedding: Crib Notes

Lisa Mulcahy — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:02:00 GMT

One part modern mixed with one part mischief, the handwritten ABCs of this bedding set seem to spell out punk rock rather than pretty in pink.

The Alphabet crib set from ducduc, $245, comes with a bumper (which by the way is pink/white reversible), skirt and the unexpected two sheets. I think manufacturers are catching on that if you shell out big bucks for bedding that you should at least get two sheets. Now you’ll have a backup that actually matches on laundry day or when the inevitable late night leak is unleashed.

Basic Comfort Ultimate Crib Sheet for Quick Changes

Mir — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 15:02:00 GMT

Do you need an $18 sheet for the crib? Well, no. But in the middle of the night when baby has a diaper blow-out, do you want to be wrestling the crib mattress up from the bumper to strip it of the sheet, pad, and waterproof liner, or do you just want to unsnap this ultimate crib sheet -- which is a flat top layer combining all of the aforementioned into one -- and put baby back to bed? That's what I thought. Get yours at Amazon, and here's a tip: Get two, and put them both on the mattress. When you have that midnight crisis, just remove the soiled top layer and you're good to go.

A Study in "If"s -- In The Treetop Mia's Modern Garden Crib Bedding

Mir — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 16:01:00 GMT

If I thought a pretty crib set was actually useful instead of eye candy, and if I had a baby girl, and if I wanted that baby girl's room to feel like a zen haven of peace and tranquility, and if I had a lot more money, I would definitely drop $350 on this custom-made Mia's Modern Garden Crib Set from In The Treetop.

Babble Live at ABC: Glenna Jean - Sweet Potato (not Pea) Crib Bedding

kbayless — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 18:36:00 GMT

I'm not one for super-cutesy baby stuff, so I was drawn to the modern, yet baby-appropriate patterns of Glenna Jean's new Sweet Potato line. Available in 4 or 5-piece sets, as well as a la carte, these crib sets are a new moderately priced line of bedding that doesn't sacrifice style in the process. The cotton material isn't uber-soft, but the washable-factor and design variety still make these sets appealing. Check their website soon for vendors carrying this new Sweet Potato line. More pictures after the jump....

Spit Up: Princess Pink Silk Crib Bedding

Mir — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 21:03:00 GMT

Dear Baby Couture Industry,

Stop it. Just stop it. The fact that you can charge $460 for a set of silk crib bedding and call it "Princess Pink" rather than the more informative "Suitable Only For Imaginary Babies" doesn't mean that you should. Custom-made, dry-clean-only crib bedding? I get it; you wanted to see how far you could push the envelope. Congratulations! You did it. Now knock it off.

Love,
Mir
