bedding for AK

Today I am in search of some bedding for Anna-Kate. Right now she basically has two sheets and two pillow cases for her bed. No bed skirt, no comforter, no nothing. If you know me well at all you know that this is driving me nuts. I can't stand walking in her room to see a bed with just a fitted sheet and pillow on it. It's driving me bonkers. I like order, I like things to match, I like beds to be made daily, I like toys to be where they're supposed to be. The toys thing can definitely be difficult with a two year old but everything else is manageable.

ANYWAYS, I had found this bright and spunky bedding at Wal-Mart that I liked better than the other bedding sets but wasn't IN LOVE with it. So today, while in search of just a cheap bed skirt to atleast find SOME order in her bedding situation I decided to check out Anna's Linens. I'm not sure if we have one anywhere around here but I know there is one in Waco and I love that store. You can get anything and everything you need for the home for a pretty decent price. Atleast it used to be that way, I think some things have gone up since but it's still pretty much affordable. SO, today, while looking for a bed skirt at Anna's Linens online I found THIS!


I LOVE this bedding and definitely way more than what I had orginially found...which is this:


Both are definitely colorful, which totally matches her personality but I like how the cocoa one is more relaxing and calming...atleast in my opinion. I for sure don't need anything that's going to liven her up. I also love that you can buy different color solid sheets to match the bedding. It's flexible, pretty and warm. Ahhh. I'm so happy to have found something I'm REALLY happy with.

Another thing I love about the "cocoa dot bedding" is that it's more "baby friendly" if you will. It's not so !AAHHH bright! and I can toss another little girl in there without really doing much to make it work for both of them. I found this bumper pad at Burlington Coat Factory that's a pretty pail pink. I think that would go well with the bedding since it has a light and dark pink in it. I can make a brown bed skirt for the crib and voila!, I have a nice coordinated room.



OOOOOR, to save money I can ask my sister-in-law to use the cream bumper she used for my niece that is just like this one and then make a brown AND pink bed skirt or something. The possibilities are endless. How exciting.
