I had been looking high and low for a set of shabby chic baby bedding for a boy's nursery ever since I found out that I was expecting a baby boy. My vision of a vintage nursery filled with faded chintz fabrics with pretty roses came to a screeching halt (at least for now) when I knew very early in my pregnancy that we were having a son.

vintage Patchwork Crib Quilt Taupe, Brown and Antique Cream Linen Shabby Chic Baby Bedding Set dust ruffle


We are just starting our family so we knew we wanted to get as much mileage as possible out of our nursery's furniture. Our plan was to buy shabby, vintage nursery furniture and just change out the crib bedding and decorative items with baby while keeping the basic nursery design.

Then, when I started shopping I saw that all of the nursery bedding sets that might work in a vintage setting were in colors for a baby girl. Just when I was resolved to buying fabric to either make my own shabby chic baby bedding for a baby boy, I came across this set in taupe, brown and cream called Flax Gwen Baby Bedding at Poshtots.

The patchwork bumper even has a block or two in a floral print that I may be able to recycle when when finally get our baby girl. And look at the linen dust ruffle...it looks like it was made out of remnants of a funky, hippie chick's skirt right out of the 1960s and the scalloped, embroidered handkerchief part of the crib dust ruffle layered over it gives it a lovely, sentimental look.

The crib set is a little more expensive than I had budgeted for, but if I use it for more than one baby it doesn't look so bad...not cheap but better. AND I'm getting a set of linen baby bedding that was made with non-toxic dyes. That's not organic, but probably better than if I had bought vintage fabrics to make the shabby chick baby bedding set myself.
