Registering/Nursery Planning Part Duex

I gave up on having two registries. We have registered at Babies R Us only... which makes me only slightly piffed (lol Nat, piff). I kept comparing prices and colors offered for different things, and then I heard about Targets return policy, which I should have known first hand. They won't let you return anything without the receipt. No exceptions ,even for a registry. WTH? I don't think many people usually give gifts with the receipt anymore (except maybe me). So, whatever BRU. You have my businessm, I guess. And I dislike you already so here's a chance to make a better impression (and maybe customer) on me.

Well, yea. Little mans room is pretty much the only thing I've been thinking about as of late. You already know I'm hung up on a stars theme. But I don't want this to be girlie at all or too baby-ish as I know he'll be a little boy and not a baby before I know it. So, I've narrowed down the bedding choices which will pretty much dictate what color I paint the room and design accessories for. You can see where I'm at a stand still now.

First up, a plain baby blue scheme. I like this one because I can do a darker color wall or even some strips on the wall to bring in some different color blues. But our crib is dark wood and we're getting dark furniture and I don't want the room to be too dark.

Next, this "Nantucket Blue" collection. My only problem is, is it too busy? I like that there's some blue AND green going on so I've definitely got a lot of colors to work with, just can't really bring in a lot of other patterned things. Again, a white crib in the picture. Although, our crib looks almost identical to this one here.
Finally, the Dr. Seuss Oh the Places You Will Go collection. LOVE these colors, but. When it comes to other things in his room I think it'll be hard to match to them. Also, not a big fan of the phrase Oh the places you'll go being written on everything. (What's with every crib in the pictures being white!?)

We want to incorporate monkeys AND stars and I found some really cute wall clings with monkeys swinging on clouds and stars. So these are pretty much in for the nursery. You can alter the colors of the monkeys and the starts so I'm not really concerned with matching them to the bedding, but would really like for everything to kind of blend together with the rest of the room. Which do you like?
