Anyway, I've always been a crafty kinda girl and LOVE to make my own stuff {duh; see my canvases ;)} So I *THOUGHT* I'd try a hand at the bedding this time around....hahaha I crack myself up. Luckily, hubby's grandma is a PHENOMENAL seamstress and volunteered to save my child's room from inevitable disaster.
{She made our first bedspread/set when we were first married as well as all of the curtains in my house. Love her!}
Here's the color scheme I'm really into:
I was trying to decide between the aqua and the navy....hubby likes the navy best, and I did a poll on instagram and facebook (seriously) where navy won. I just can't seem to let go of that aqua chevron print! So I'm thinking of doing BOTH. I mean, blue and blue doesn't clash, right?? Here's a screen shot of what it *might* look like (substitute the gray elephants for the gray chevron on the bumper):
There's a quilt I'm designing that will be a patchwork of these colors (minus the orange; the orange is on the bumper/skirt only and in accent pieces like a pillow for my glider, and a rug) in a variety of striped, polka dot, and chevron patterns. I cannot WAIT to get all of the fabric ordered and this project underway! I MAY even attempt a simple sheet or blanket ;) For the curtains I'm thinking either yellow or aqua - not sure if solid or patterned.
The fabrics I'm using I found on babybedding.com and nurseryfabrics.com and the lovely nursery bedding design helper (where I made the above picture) was on babybedding.com (the elephant fabric was on nursery fabrics which is why I couldn't get it in the picture. Boo!) This cool design program let you pick flooring/color, wall color and even crib color! Loved it. Their fabric prices are decent, but the prices to have the bedding made are a little steep, IMO.
I'm getting so excited! :) Now, if only July could get here quicker!!
