Nursery bedding dilemma solved.

I have mentioned before that I want to trade my daughter’s bedding in for a more “girly” set. I am looking at something that I can put in a purple room. I got all the appliqué needed for the bedding and curtains. When I totaled them up, I had already spent $80. By the time I finished buying the material and trim and then made it, I would be right back up to the $150 it would cost me to get the bedding I wanted originally.

So to make myself feel better, I went to Wal-Mart. I know. This isn’t a very frugal thing to do. But it turns out, it saved me a lot of time and money. I found an adorable set of bedding for my daughter and only spent $60. All I am missing are curtains. You won’t see me say this often, but thank you Wal-Mart. Now if I can just talk my DH into painting her room.

Nursery bedding dilemma.

Ok. I have a question. When my DH and I picked out our nursery décor, we wanted to keep it gender neutral so we wouldn’t have to redo it if our next child was a boy. Thrifty idea at the time. Now, I want to sell what I have and get “girly” bedding for my little girl. My question is this, should I get the entire bedding set or just get curtains and a bed skirt? If I get just the accessories and I have a girl again, then I will need to buy the rest of the set and that will be more expensive than getting the whole thing in bulk. However, if I buy the whole set, then I won’t use the bumper or quilt and then I am almost guaranteed to have a boy next and will need to get all new bedding anyway. What do you think?

My eBay auction of nursery bedding is finally moving.

I have my current nursery décor on sale at eBay. It is the first time I have sold anything there. Bought there, yes; but never sold anything. I am having fun with it, watching the bidding. Or at least that is what it should be. There is only 1 day left to bid and the first bids just went up. I was really stressing about it because there weren’t any bids. I should have known better. I never bid before the last few minutes myself. Why did I think my auction would be any different? I have a learning curve ahead of me but am looking forward to seeing how it goes. Stay tuned…
