We're talking about sleep and bedrooms, and all of those dolls need a place to lay their heads as well. And yes, boys can enjoy playing with dolls too. When Erin's son took to rocking his to sleep in a dump truck, her mom picked up this cute doll bed at a thrift store and Erin took care of the rest...
She made this adorable mattress and quilt with car and truck design from a 1980's Marimekko crib sheet, and those dolls now have a much more comfy place to rest their heads.
Check out her post and more info on her designs at her blog, here.

My son loves to play with his "babies" also and I was able to make him a bed for them out of the top of a broken picnic basket (it's the kind that's shaped like a suitcase). The deeper side became a dog bed.
I bet Erin's son loves rocking his babies, though. As a mother of three sons, I'm continually annoyed by how pink everything having to do with doll play is.

cute sheets, but do they really have to be "boy themed"??
i had that exact Marimekko print on my bed when I was a little girl, cant everyone like cars and trucks?

Its not so much that its 'boy themed' specifically but I designed it as to not be pink and purple. You could call it 'boy appropriate' to be more accurate. ;-)
I agree with Eliblu that it is very annoying that doll play items in gender neutral themes are IMPOSSIBLE to find. But that's when you have to get crafty!
