I finally bought a crib and am starting to think about the nursery. Where can I find cute crib bedding that doesn't cost a fortune? I'm finding that I have expensive taste in this area!

Since we only got sheets, I didn't feel that bad about getting pottery barn kids cribs sheets. They were $19 each, which is like ten dollars more than target but since it's all we bought, I was ok with it. They have held up really well and I just love the print (Taylor, so gray and white elephants)

I also only bought sheets, at least in the beginning. We have some from Target and Aden and Anais.
Later I added sleep sacks and an AA dream blanket.

I only got sheets, got the Circo brand at Target, very cute prints and cheap!

We have Target sheets for DS's room- I am glad I didn't spend too much on them because they get kinda gross- and are cheap and easily replaceable!

Land of Nod! They are pricy, but they have held up far longer than our cheap sheets from BRU. In a year of heavy use/washing, they haven't faded.

I like a simple bright white crib with no skirt, so I'm going to take a page out of Lucie's List and go with:
The sheets are attached via zipper for easy MOTN changes.

I agree with PP, skip the sets, and stick with sheets and bedskirt only, you will never use the other stuff in the bag (mine was such a waste!) I'm doing just sheets this time and am okay with spending a little bit more for nicer sheets because of it!

I think as others have said, the key to keeping it simple and just doing the sheets since you honestly don't need anything else, really. I ended up buying a sheet plus an expensive quilt, but I never used it, sadly. For the longest time, LO wasn't old enough for a blanket, then she was but she hated blankets and now I have ordered new bedding for her toddler bed from Land of Nod.

I love Serena and Lily for linens. They aren't terribly expensive, but I would just get a pretty crib skirt and pair it with some basic cotton/flannel sheets from Target. We have Dwell Studio sheets for the crib that cost a fortune and aren't nearly as soft as the less expensive "back up" sheets I got at Target or on Amazon.

Carousel Designs! It's pricey but great quality. If you're only getting sheets and a crib skirt, it's not too bad!

Don't forget the waterproof sheet! We didnt have any accidents when LO was in diapers but it sure came in handy after potty training

@MelisMc: I love Dwell Studio, but I only bought one from them (not very cheap) and I have a few more neutral ones from Target. They're only $9.99.

For sheets, we have tried Aden & Anais, Target, PBK, RH Baby, and Land of Nod. I love the A&A for the softness, but I found ti to be smaller fitting and/or shrinks, which is a problem because we have a waterproof cover + a wool mattress pad. I would say RH Baby, Land of Nod, and PBK are all about the same quality, but the RH Baby and Land of Nod are my faves because they have a deeper fit and not as much struggle to put on.

My favorite sheets were from IKEA (jersey material) and a local boutique (terry, like soft toweling).
I actually bought a crib bedding set from Pottery Barn, I ended up using all five pieces at different points.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: my friend has those zip sheets and loves them so much. Her son was a big time spitter upper and it saved her so much trouble in the MOTN. She also got flat mattress pads instead of regular fitted ones.
