Inspiration and Fabrics!!

After what seems like forever, I was finally able to decide on fabric for the nursery. I have searched high and low for inspiration, ideas, already made bedding, etc but I was never fully in love with any of them. One day my mom sent me a link to a nursery done by HGTV and it kind of stuck. Not the nursery itself but the bedding fabric. Here is a picture of what we found... again please ignore the nursery part and just look at the bedding.
I originally thought I wanted to go with the green but I didn't necessarily like the green they had in that nursery so I found some brighter greens that I liked but while standing in Joann's my eyes just kept getting drawn towards blues. (Not sure if I should take this as a sign or if I just like the color blue at the moment, haha). So I walked over to the solid colors and found this blue and fell in love. So here is the fabric that I got today.
NOTE: the picture does not really show the true color of the blue. I do not even know what to call the color but its not baby blue like it looks in the photo. Also if baby Carney is a girl then we will end up adding pink accents to the room!
If you look in the "inspiration" picture, the pillow has zebra print on it. So our plan is to accent with zebra print. Maybe a pillow and a lamp or somewhere on the curtain. Also, the way that we have the bedding planned is that the bumpers will be made out of the black and white patterned fabric and we will make the bedskirt with the blue fabric and put a strip of the patterned fabric at the bottom. I am very excited now!!! The picture of the fabric to me looks so boring so I am very excited to see what this is going to look like when it is all said and done!!!!
