Varsity Blues: A Future MVP Nursery

Recently I completed bumpers for a baby boy that to me, said future All American MVP.  The bedding is really very simple, yet very baby without the in your face themed bedding.   We started with the following fabrics and left the decorating open to many options. 

And here is the final product.  So cute if I don't say so myself!

Custom Accents for Designer Bedding

These lovelies are on their way to their new home today.  The little girl's room already has this beautiful duvet and euro pillow set from Seth and Grayson, but mom wanted a few more accessories to tone it all done a bit.

We custom made for her two linen shams and two bolster pillows along with a beautiful linen bedskirt trimmed in bright pink grosgrain ribbon.  Unfortunately I couldn't snap a pic of the bedskirt.

And for her son's nursery we made this monogrammed pillow to coordinate with the Ben crib set from Serena and Lily that was already purchased.

Pink, black & white crib set, on its way to its new home!

Third set out the door this week.  This one is for a newborn that just arrived last week.  We started with these fabrics.

This chenille is actually white not yellow like in this photo.

And here is the bedding set.

And a closer look with the matching bolster pillow for big sister's bed who will be sharing the room with baby.

And now on to the next order.  Check back for more photos.

Gender Nuetral Brown & White Nursery Bedding

Another one bites the dust folks.  Here is the second of 4 crib sets I am deliverying this week.  As promised I have photographed it for your viewing pleassure.  The mother knows she is having a girl, but she wanted the bedding to be made of linen and elegantly understated. 

Her primary fabric was this gorgeous chocolate brown and white damask print and everything else was done in solid brown and white linen. 

Here is everything she ordered for the nursery, crib bedding, pillow for the glider and a quilt.

Here's just the crib set.

And here's the bedding when she converts the crib to a toddler bed.

I have more toddler bedding photos to share later this week.  By the way, I feel the need to clarify, that Jacquelyn Reese Baby, LLC does not recommend placing, bumpers, pillows or blankets of any kind in the crib when the child is in their infant stage.  These photos are strictly for photography purposes only and we recommend you discuss with your child's healthcare provider when it is a safe time add such items.  You can read more about our Child Sleep Safety recommendations here or visit SIDS.org.

Pink and Black Crib Bedding

I am a nonstop bedding shop right now. Currently I have oh, I don't know, about 20 orders in production. CRAZY! Life is a little hectic right now. Good news for all of you, I am trying to be better about photographing my work to share.
Today I have what I call the Stephanie crib set. Stephanie is a fun and bubbly mother-to-be who came to me with aspirations of a bold pink, gray and black nursery. I have to say, I meet a lot of mothers who fall into the I bet we would be friends category and Stephanie is one of those moms. Her personality is magnetic and she just draws you in.
Below are a few pictures of the fabrics we used and her bedding set. We trimmed all the bumpers in pink grosgrain ribbon and lined the inside of some bumpers in white minky.  The crib skirt is a peony pink dupioni silk. I wish I had a picture of the drapes we made, oh well maybe later. Enjoy!

Pink & White and Everything Nice!

Arriving any day now is this sweet and beautiful pink and white bedding for a long distance friend.  My friend Shelby is expecting a girl, Avery is her name, and she'll be here before you know it.  I had the honor of making Avery's bedding and I was in love with the perfect shade of soft pink and creamy white fabrics. 

As usual my amateure photography doesn't do this bedding justice, but trust me it's beautiful.  The bumpers are lined in white chenille and the skirt is gathered with a perfect cream grosgrain ribbon to trim the hem.  Perfect pink bedding for a perfect little girl.  Congratulations Shelby!

Outdoor fabric for baby bedding? But of course!

I can't even begin to count the number of times I have used outdoor fabric to make custom crib bedding for my customers. Most people would never consider the textile for a child's room, but with the huge selection of stylish fabrics available today the possibilities are endless and very deceiving (in a good way).


Outdoor fabric is designed to not fade, wrinkle and resist stains. Hello, shouldn't ALL baby stuff be made from such a textile? Of course like any fabric not all are created equal and some outdoor options are better than others. Below are just a few I scouted online and a couple I have used a time or two.

So what on earth would you make for your child from outdoor fabric? Think crib skirts, fabric for the outside of your bumpers, bumper ties, window treatments, floor cushions and play mats, hampers and changing pad covers. I could go on and on…
