Nursery Planning

As soon as we found out we were expecting, I began looking at things for a future nursery!  I love this kind of stuff, and could browse the internet for hours just looking at all the cute things!!  I was first inspired by this art I saw on pinterest:
Isn't is gorgeous!  I knew I wanted this to be the theme of our nursery, boy or girl.  And thankfully, I have a sister that is a very talented painter, that will hopefully be able to replicate something similar to this for me. :) 

I pictured this with gray walls and yellow/gray crib bedding.  Unfortunately, I had fallen in love with this set before we found out if we were expecting a boy or a girl:

But after we found out it was a boy, I knew that this set was just too girly.  And now that we know it's a boy, I would love to include light blue in our gray & yellow sunshine theme.  I'm hoping to find a used dresser/changing table on the cheapskies that we can refinish and paint blue.  And we added a blue glider to our registry:
Anyway, all this to say, do you know how hard it is to find yellow/gray crib bedding that isn't custom made and doesn't cost a fortune?!  Oh my goodness, I feel like I have looked everywhere imaginable, and I haven't found anything I've really loved.

This is what's on our registry (from Target) right now, and I like it, but it just isn't my favorite:
I like the giraffes, but I just wish it was more yellow than gray, especially if we are going to go with gray walls, I don't want it to be too much gray.  I have looked and looked, and the only things I can find that I like and that aren't too girly are on etsy and they cost an arm and a leg and a kidney.

So, has anyone seen any mostly yellow with gray and/or blue crib bedding anywhere??

I suppose if I really can't find anything, and I decide that the above set just won't do, we could paint the walls yellow and go with a mostly blue with yellow/gray bedding set just because it's so much easier to find!

Any advice??
