Molly, how would it look if you removed the ruffle and replaced it with the darker blue in a box pleat for the skirt? Box pleats would look more masculine. If there's enough of the blue for the bumper pads, you might be able to pull it off. I think the crib sheets might work if you make the blue your predominate color with the skirt and bumper pads. Just my thoughts. Make a soft simple stuffed blue animal to go with it.
