Some non-bank-breaking ideas for a toddler boy's room

[Melanie]

Thank you!

Melanie,
I don't know if you have them where you live, but Fred Meyer has (had?) a children's bedding line similar to the one at Target. Honestly, I didn't check to see if it came in full size or not, but it might be worth a look.

Can you tell I don't want to work today? ;)

Here is another, although it may be too dark.

I know this is for the budget conscious, but here's the PBK version! ;)

Now that you mention PBK, I recall a member her posting that they bought a PBK lookalike of the star quilt on ebay. Maybe you can find star bedding there as well.

I can't believe I'm saying it, but compared to the prices of the knock-off set on eBay, that's not too bad. ;-) Oh wait, NM, $180 for a toddler quilt is bad, the sheets are a good price though.

Does anyone know if PBK sheets are a nice high thread count?

I do like the domestications one, but we'd have to repaint the room and that's not going to happen.

Ya, $180 for a toddler's quilt made me gasp! It is cute though! There is an Ebay'er that sells PBK stuff, I will see if I have it saved as a favorite.

No Fred Meyer's here, but I have Ross & Mervyn's to check today.

I found the PBK full duvet cover on eBay, but Dh says it's too busy.

Here's a few links to Garnet Hill. Cotton and flannel..

They are comforter covers/duvets, but at least they come in FULL! HTH!

Thank you! The second comforter actually looks like it might be the same print as Ds' valance.

Sheets are pricey though ($95 for the set by my count)...I wonder if I can find a coupon code? I've never ordered from Garnet Hill before, but at those prices they must be quality, right? Comforter is a good value I think.

Thanks again!

I ususally buy the quilt or duvet cover that I really like (PBK, ususally) and then look around other places to find matching solid sheets. I try to get a high thread count and have found nice ones at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and the Martha Stewart line at KMart. Also, I *love* the children's bedsheets from Lands' End...they have a fitted pocket on one end of the flat sheet with elastic that makes it sooo easy to use! Unfortunately, I'm not sure that they come in size full. Anyway, I just usually try to save money by not buying the cute matching sheets.
