Q: I am LOVING this bedding from Anthropology, but I am not loving the price tag. Especially for kids! Has anyone seen something similar out there that isn't so pricey? I want to stick with the neutral colors if I can. Thanks!

I think CB2 (or was it westelm?) had a parachute duvet cover that is very similar. I believe it also came in white?
I fell in love with the same bedding, and then found this cheaper one in West Elm that was close enough for me.
I like how it's still one colour and has the texture that made the Anthro set so appealing.

The Simply Shabby Chic line at Target has a similar style. I was just looking at this last week. http://www.target.com/Simply-Shabby-Chic-Bedding-Collection/dp/B000LZE30M/ref=br_1_8?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&searchView=grid5&searchNodeID=262999011&node=262999011&searchRank=pmrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=30&id=Simply%20Shabby%20Chic%20Bedding%20Collection
If that link does not work there is also this one. http://www.target.com/Simply-Shabby-Chic-Smocked-Duvet/dp/B000K0ZY88/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_1?ie=UTF8&pf_rd_r=00HQQX7ABCEHZFA3FR0M&pf_rd_p=481694651&pf_rd_i=B000LZE30M&pf_rd_s=left-5&pf_rd_m=A1VC38T7YXB528&pf_rd_t=5201

like a few other people, we bought our toddler the twin west elm white organic pintuck duvee/sham. not quite as oppulent, but has great quality and texture.
Another similar one at Target: http://www.target.com/Home-Kissing-Pleat-Bedding-Collection/dp/B001MB3J22/ref=sc_ri_2?ie=UTF8&pf_rd_r=14MNTC3QM427JKHZD9ZX&pf_rd_p=481694131&pf_rd_i=B001LW1NLQ&pf_rd_s=bottom-10&pf_rd_m=A1VC38T7YXB528&pf_rd_t=201
I have bedding just like that that I got 3 years ago from bed bath and beyond. It was not expensive at all.
You could totally make this yourself. I have fabric at home that's just like this. I admit is pretty, but I probably wouldn't make it for my kids - they're messier than I woulda thought kids could be....maybe if I dye the fabric though!
If this is the bedding with the little tiny colored buttons on it, then my friend has it. I've looked at it, and thought that with minimal sewing skills (which I don't have), you could buy a MUCH cheaper version at Target and do it yourself.
