apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

The new Amy Coe stuff is being slowly introduced in the stores, but nowhere on the website yet. All of the cute elephant stuff is pretty much gone *sniff* but I think the new collections stay in the same color families.

I purchased the Mod Dots and Stripes set recently. While at 180 thread count, it's not ultra soft, it seems like a good value for the price. The color is very close to what is pictured on their website. I used the free "Site to Store" shipping option, so it was delivered to the closest store rather than my home at no additional charge. It saved quite a bit of money on shipping, as their fees can be a somewhat high.

I also ordered the Orchard Park, George Baby Uptown and MiGi Splash (slightly more expensive at 6 pieces and 200 thread count) sets from the site. While I decided against them for the the color theme in our nursery, they all seemed like very good values. I was pleasantly surprised.

It's nice to see that Walmart is offering modern options that don't completely break the nursery budget.

I also bought the Mod Dots and Stripes that birdie mentioned (called Multi-Dot on their site.) For about $80, it's great, but you aren't getting amazing quality for that price. Considering for us this is our second and last baby and I know how short of a time he'll be in that crib, it's fine for us. The colors and style are perfect for our nursery decor and we may opt to just use a higher quality plain white sheet in lieu of the decorated one.

So the 2nd design is actually made by Design Space ltd., which is Dwell Baby. I was looking at that design on Ebay a few weeks ago. The seller didn't mention that it came from Walmart (she actually sold it for around $238!). Wow. Anyhow, here's the Ebay link, which has a link to the Design Space website.

actually... here's a link (that works) to Design Space Ltd. If you click on "brands", you can see who is selling what. Funny how they're all made by the same company.
