For weeks I’ve been talking about a specific nursery set for Sawyer. I technically already had a set but I was gender neutral and beige. The room I’ll be using cannot be painted or really decorated in anyway so it was going to leave the room really plain.
Problem?
I couldn’t talk hubby into it. It wasn’t a need and I was still in need of so many things. I got over my pouting and focused on the needs. I made a registry for my own use {which while being called tacky and presumptuous} was definitely useful. I was able to figure out everything I needed and wanted and put it together on one last. As I got things I was able to cross it off. Even if you’re like me and not receiving gifts I highly suggest the idea.

Then recently while gathering some nursery basics I saw my set was getting discontinued. When I asked about it I was told it wouldn’t be clearanced just not restocked as things were purchased. Of course I went into panic mode. I talked to hubby again and he still wasn’t on the same page as me. He didn’t see the point. The 9 piece set was $199 alone. The set did include the quilt, dust ruffle, 2 fitted sheets, diaper stacker, 3 piece wall art, and valance though.
So, what’s a girl to do?
I raided the house and listed a bunch on Craigslist. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you put your mind to it. I was able to find the mobile clearanced at a different store for half price. I sold more then I needed and last Friday I was off to BRU and look what I cam home with!!!
I got the 9 piece bed bag (quilt, dust ruffle, 2 fitted sheets, diaper stacker, 3 piece wall art, and valance) a second valance, lamp, rug, and blanket! It was the last bag set, rug, and lamp! There were no mobile’s either! I’m so glad I didn’t wait any longer! I definitely don’t regret it either.
Best part? Even though the bag alone was $199 I bought all the pieces pictured plus a bunch of other stuff and through my close out 10% discount, the sale going on with the bedding sets, and coupons I only paid $260 for it all! Score!

Good for you on selling what you did and SCORE on what you brought home!
I’m glad you got what you want! You deserve this…and this season of your life is one to celebrate.
In other news…I think I ought to open my eyes wider when I’m in my house if you set your mind to it and made a score selling like that on Craigslist. Way to go!
So exciting!!! I’m glad you were able to get it after all!
I was so lucky with my set. My Mother-in-Law worked for a baby place and got below the cost of what I would spend. Shortly after I had Mica she quit.
That’s awesome! I love how cute it all is!
Yay! It’s going to look so nice!
Cute set!
Absolutely gorgeous. Was your house ever in Good Housekeeping? If not it should be. 🙂
Adorable I love the theme!
Beautiful set! I’ve seen it in stores and loved it for boys! And so awesome that you were able to work it out financially! 😀
That baby is the luckiest baby in town to have absolutely everything it needs. Very well done. CONGRATS!
I’m so glad to hear you were able to get it all! I am hoping for baby #3 this year and know things will be tight and decorating will definitely not be on the list. So, I feel for ya. Great job and good savings, too!
Beautiful. I love the blue.
Cute bedding and stuff. How fun!!!!
That is one thing that I was really into when our kids were babies. Shaun had the John Lennon collection and to this day eight years later he still has a fleece blanket from that set that he passed down to his little sister Shae.
You know I like it!! I can’t wait to see him using it! 🙂
I really like the name Sawyer. 😉 What a lucky lil’ boy! Beautiful.
