Do you think this is gender neutral?

mlamb80 · November 2009

I thought I'd ask over here since the nursery decor board is always a little slow. I absolutely love this bedding set, but we're team green, so i'm not sure if it's neutral enough. Here it is...

Do you think it's too boyish? We're also trying to decide on the colour of the crib. If we were to get this set what do you think would look better, expresso or white? I love the modern cribs that combine both colours, but am not sure if I can find one within the budget.

Thanks for your help!

I think it's definitely neutral & I think the expresso would look very nice w/ it.

I'd say it suits a boy, but if you like it, that's what matters. Definitely go with an espresso crib.

Love it! And yes, I think it is gender neutral I would go with espresso for the crib color!

Nope, it's neutral. I don't see how this could be a "boyish" set at all. It has bright, primary colors and little woodland creatures. How much more neutral can you get? I LOVED this set, but sadly couldn't afford it.

We're getting a crib (from Walmart of all places. I know, I was shocked too) that has both white and amber woods. It's $300.

The product shot on the website is kind of sad, but I've seen photos of the crib in several real nurseries and it looks great:

So cute...I don't think it is boyish

NELCORP · November 2009

IMHO, I think it's a little more on the boy side but I it could be used for both. Expresso crib.

carney09 · November 2009

I think it leans a bit more to boy, but not by a lot and could definitely be neutral

I would get an espresso colored crib, I associate white with girls.

galwaybabe · November 2009

I think it's adorable, and totally gender neutral! We are team green, too and this is just my style! Get it!

AllieNC · November 2009

It's a little boyish but I would use it for gender neutral. I didn't look into what is in the set but if you could replace that solid blue part (the bumper? bedskirt?) with a green or tan I think it would help.

Very adorable!!! Espresso crib for sure!

You're right, it I wasn't impressed when I saw it on the website, but it looks nice in the nursery pic. I've never looked at Walmart for cribs so I'm curious to have a look now. I don't think we have as good a selection in Canada, but worth a look anyway. Thanks!

DSU98 · November 2009

I think that it would work just fine for a boy or girl!

PrincessLinLin · November 2009

Love it! And it is totally neutral.

Eviebee · November 2009

I think it's adorable, and definitely neutral.

bliss611 · November 2009

I think it's neutral. And definitely an expresso crib. I think it'll be too light with a white crib. Also - if you have a girl, you can always cuten up the room with some wall details and stuff.

That's what I am doing. I am getting a neutral set (Leap Froggie from Kidsline) which some people think is a tad boyish and if it is a girl I'll just add some pics of lily flowers to make the room a bit girlier.

Here are a few more photos of the same crib (and matching changing table):

Definitely neutral. We are also doing owls in our nursery, nice!

mlamb80 · November 2009

Well than, this is it! Thanks ladies for helping me make up my mind! And DH will be happy to know most votes are for an expresso crib since that's what he likes best. Thanks again!

mrsjenni · November 2009

Yep. I'd use it for a girl or a boy. It's adorable.

ditto!

ParadisePrincess · November 2009

Definitely neutral. I love it!

Angelrelic · November 2009

I think it would work either way, just maybe some softer accent colors to even out any "boyishness"

L's mommy · November 2009

I have this exact set bookmarked because I love the owls. I think it could be gender neutral. I think I would like it best with a darker colored crib.

MrsWindyCity · November 2009

Yep, I think it's gender neutral and I love that set. I think either a white or espresso crib would look great with it. Personally I am more of an espresso or cherry person just because I prefer to have the furniture be that instead of white, but both would look nice with that set.
