Hi Belfie
We have the Kidsline "Sealife" theme for Sage.
I was given alot of this theme for my baby shower.
I'll just let you know the I have the 5 piece cot set which has the doona,sheets, blanket and head board thingy.
The doona is just for show as I don't cover Sage up as he sleeps in a grobag.
We also have the lamp which was fantastic as we didn't need to turn on the bedroom light and wake him up completely to change nappy or to feed.
The floor rug is great as we have polished floor boards so this breaks it up iykwim.
The wall hangings are still in the packet as we haven't got around to puttung them up.
The mobile is on the cot but only gets used every now and then
Curtains and window valance are ok.Mum sewed some backing on the curtains as they were very light and we didn't have anything else on the windows.
Oh and our Toys R Us stock the Zanzibar theme as does babyco and babies galore.
i've put some photos in my gallery of some of the zanzibar stuff for you. we did have it all set up with the cot in there as well but we've moved the cot into our bedroom for the moment (co-sleeping- wasn't planned but has ended up being the way to go).
i forgot to tell you that we've also got the laundry hamper next to the change table which i absolutely love cos you can just chuck dirty clothes straight in there. i got the hamper from ebay.
best of luck with it, i think the zanzibar line is very gorgeous and earthy looking.
Thank you so much Gracie, just had a look at the pics, and I think it all looks fabulous. It's nice to see it in a real room (as opposed to the "theme" pic where it's all a bit packed in!). Re the hamper I think that's definitely on the "yes" list. DH even said "hmm maybe we should do some shopping this weekend...". YAY!
bugalug - Oh Silver LIning is fabulous too! And I love the fact I'm not the only one crazy about my nursery theme - loved the so-called "rambling"! Re the padded pics, yes I've seen them for Zanzibar. I've got a cream carpet, cream walls & cream blind, so Zanzibar should work well. I'm just going to make sure my furniture colour isn't too dark, maybe go a teak colour (or lighter). Think I'll leave things like the mat and the mobile, cos they could be pressies.
mako - I was admiring the sealife theme, it's gorgeous! Thanks for listing stockists too. And I have to say, love the name Sage, that's just lovely!
I'm thinking that to start with I'll just get the linen, the pics, the hamper & mebbe the window valance. That should be enough to give it the "feel". Then that leaves plenty of optional kinda things that ppl can give if they want. Gosh it sounds like I think I'm gonna be given a tonne!
Is anyone able to measure the width of their window valance? (sorry, I'm being a pain!) I'm assuming they're probably a standard width in the kidsline ranges. (do i mean width or length?? basically, what size window does it fit?)

: trying to explain the width/length bit... bad attack of baby brain
Belfie, I was just checking on the kidsline website. The window valance is 152cm x 36cm, so it's bigger than I thought. I might look at getting one too.
Oooh thanks Captain! I'm a duh-head, cos I was on their site & didn't check! My window is 190, so I'll stick to the other accessories - including the mat.
