WWYD OR WDYT: Nursery Bedding

1976love

Background: I have been looking at nursery bedding and could not find anything that tickled my fancy or in my price range. So I made up my mind that my mom was going to make the bedding.

The colors that I wanted was something gender neutral. The colors that I set my heart on were grey and yellow.

So today at lunch I made a quick stop by the outlet by my house to look for some pants.

I found 2 pair of jeans and a shirt the pants were either to big or to small.

So I go to the back of the store where the bedding was and I found this: 4 piece set for $16.99 :  https://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=167502f&DeptID=70676&CatID=71676&PCatID=70676&SO=0&CatSel=4294950472%7cgirls%27+crib+bedding&Ne=4294957900+5+18+8+904+949+833&pagesize=1&CatTyp=RLE&Dep=BABY&N=4294950472&Pcat=BABY&Cat=bedding&Nao=0&PSO=0&CmCatId=70676|71676

However, four yrs ago after the wedding(it was our wedding colors) I got this for $11.00 but it only had bumper pad, blanket & dust ruffle: https://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=13328ef&DeptID=70676&CatID=71676&SO=0&SelDim=4294957900%7e&CatSel=4294950478%7cboys%27+crib+bedding&Ne=4294957900+5+18+8+904+949+833&pagesize=1&x5view=1&shopperType=G&N=4294950478&Nao=0&PSO=0&CmCatId=70676|71676

1. Do you think they both are gender neutral?
2. Which one do you like best?
3. Should I just let the grey and yellow go?
4. Any thoughts or ideas would be great

TIA

I don't think they are gender neutral. I think the first set is too feminine and the second is a bit too masculine. They are both wonderful though (I LOVE the Delilah set). If I'm understanding correctly, you've bought them both? If so, I would keep them until you find out the gender. Once you find out, you can sell the second set since you got such wonderful prices. If you're team green, I would keep looking for something a bit more neutral. I know that probably isn't much help.

Re: the grey and yellow- The first set could fit this color scheme. Add in some grey decor and play up the yellow in the bedding.

I agree with all of this

The first set is very girly. I think the second set could go either way depending on how you accessorize! Very cute either way.

The first set is very girly in my opinion, and the second seems like it could possibly go either way, though I find it a bit more boy-ish.

Where did you find such an awesome deal!?

I can't believe you got that first set for $16.99!!!!!! I love that set but it is very pricey to order so I am jealous. I say keep both and wait to see what the baby is cause set 1 is girly and set 2 is good for a boy. I think you could still have a chance with your grey and yellow colors with set 1 but not set 2. I wouldn't return either one though...at that price...sell it or save it for a friend:)

This! I LOVE that set. But it is too girly imo, which is why I didn't get it.

I agree with PP...the first set is girly and second is masculine.  You could always look on etsy for gray and yellow crib bedding that isn't gender specific.  GL!

Yep, I totally agree with all of this as well.  And BTW, I love both of those sets and they have been strong contenders both with DS and this baby!

 Thanks all. I got both sets from the jcp outlet by my house.
