Anyone else not thrilled with the dining and bedding choices out there?

FH and I have gone to every store and every website trying to figure out where to register but we have not found one casual dining pattern or one bedding ensemble that we can live with!

Anyone else having this problem?

I got my bedding at Fortunoff's beautiful stuff!! Casual dining I haven't been so lucky with either.

What stores have you tried? Maybe we can suggest some others that you might not have thought of??

For casual dining, I have plain white dishes. Their great because I can change the placemats to get different colors and the go with everything.

Plain white is also classic and doesn;t really go out of style if you can;t find a more trendy style you like.

I had a coupleof problems picking out a comforter set. And we only really had two casual choices of dinner ware to choose from. Yeah really hard when you think you you'll have this stuff for a really long time and people will spend a lot of money on this stuff.

i got my casual dining set from target- they are yellow square dishes- yea a bit funky but thats what i really liked

for my bedding it was a funny story- originally i had picked out a awesome macys 'hotel' bedding- but then when i went to the store to look for it I saw that it can only be dry cleaned and since we will have cats- thats a real big headache to wash it so we said forget it

so one day I was walking through roosevelt field mall and I just so happen to walk through the home section and I found two awesome bedding sets ( one for summer/spring, and one for winter/fall) so i bought them right then and there

moral of this story: you just never know where you will find things- keep looking girlie! something will pop up!!!

We had a hard time making choices, here's where we ended up finding stuff we liked:

Bed Bath & Beyond - Bedding
Fortunoff - Everyday Dishes
Bloomingdales - Formal China, Flatware & Stemware

Crate & Barrel is a great suggestion.

Some other thoughts are:

Target
Macy's
JCPenney
Pottery Barn
Restoration Hardware
Williams-Sonoma

WORD!!! Not only do I not like what's out there, when I finally find something I do like- it gets discontinued within a week or so and that's the end of that!

that is exactly what we did....we went with white so it went with any color placement/table linen. and we looked at sites like Mikasa and Pfaltzgraf, you can always get additional coordinating pieces, and if you break a piece it can be replaced :)

try Fortunoff's for bedding--they have a huge selection
