Is my boy nursery girly?

Hey ladies,
I just wanted your opinion on my nursery. I had the bedding theme for a couple years before I even got pregnant but they said it was gender neutral. Now that I look at it all, I am wondering if my little man has a girly nursery. Could you give me your honest opinions, I won't be hurt...I just want to know if I should man it up a little more. There are a couple pictures posted in my profile.

I'll make a poll so your answer can be anonymous if you are more comfortable telling me that way :)

Thanks girls

I am not going to vote :) - It is very gender netrual and I think it is beautiful - even for a boy.  I personally am all or nothing person - so for a girl I go pink or purple for a boy I go blue or red... but it is really very nice!

Thanks! Yeah if I didn't already have this set, I would have definitely gone with a more boy bedding. But we had it brand new, but now that it's a boy I am having second thoughts about it. Especially bc there is purple in the theme.
Thank you for your opinion though, I appreciate it!

I did not mean purple for a girl -( I am sorry!) .. I am just thinking about my babies room - I went to Home Depot last night and got a bunch of paint samples... and I could not find a blue I liked for my 5 yo son... the baby and my 7 year old will have to share a room for a bit - which my daughter LOVES the thought... I really like the theme - I do think that as he gets out of the baby phase you will have to update some..... but for now - it is an awesome boys nursery!!

i think it looks great for a little boy!!

[Melka76]

I hope that my message do not seem negative - I am re reading them... ugh.. that was not my intention - I think it is wonderful and am actually jealous that you are so far done and we are due the same month!  I have nothing yet.....

nooo its def not "girly" i think its very beautiful!!!!! its very nice, almost "elegant"

[LosingMyMindInGA]

It is gender neutral but I think it's adorable for a little boy

[RBarron]

Aww, I think it's great. The room will get "maned up" when all of his toys, clothes and balls are in there.

[Meadow841]

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your thoughts :)  Yeah if I didn't have the set, I think a beach/boat/fish theme would have been cool. But that's a good point, his toys, clothes and balls should help make it more boy. I'm also thining about introducing navy somehow...like in the mini blinds or maybe his name in navy over the crib..or something.

Melka- oh no don't worry I didn't think your message was negative at all :) I am happy to hear everyones opinions and I appreciate your thoughts. Negative never once crossed my mind when reading yours :)

Well my son is 11 he is disabled with special needs and can't talk but signs, i just asked him if he thought it was a boy's bedroom or a girl's bedroom he signed back that he thought it was a boy's bedroom so theres your answer!!! I think it's a lovely room, you've done a great job. x

[julianovak]

awww how sweet. That brought a tear to my eye! :) GOd Bless him! :)

[Meadow841]

Aww, that is really sweet!! Tell him I said thank you :)

very gender nuteral... i love it

I'm getting teary eyed looking at it...with Elijah I didn't get to do a nursery he was in my room with me at my parent's house until we could be with DH in Korea and I can't really decorate my apartment. BUT we're currently putting an offer on a house in NC near Ft Bragg, where we're headed next, and I'm so excited it's a 4 bedroom, and this baby will get it's own room, so I can decorate it! Your baby's room is a beautiful sight! I like it, it is gender neutral, but like mentioned above it will become more boy like when you get all the boy toys in it. I think I'm going to do something similar and make baby's room gender neutral and add in a few girlie/boy things if and when I see HER GIRLIE parts, *crossing fingers*.

[Meadow841]

Thanks so much for your thoughts! I am definitely feeling better about it after hearing all of your responses.

smjmekg- aww that is so exciting, I hope the offer goes through for you so you can decorate your nursery :)

I actually think it kinda looks more boy than girl with the paint choices you made. I think it looks fantastic but I can see how you are second guessing now. We did not find out the gender of our baby and our nursery if very gender neutral but I see it as a little more feminin, although my entire family thinks its very masculin and are convinced we know the babys gender and are just not sharing. Our babies are so grateful to have parents who have worked sooo hard on the perfect room for them. I love your nursery and think your bedding is ADORABLE. Your son will have his whole life to choose his next bedroom theme based on his interests and although I have never done that with a child before since this will be my first, these are the wonderful times we are about to explore with our bundles :)

[Meadow841]

Thank you so much :)

I am feeling a lot better now, and it actually looks more masculine now that the furniture is in. I'll upload the pics to my profile. I think just having it bare with the paint and border didnt give the full effect.

I think it looks like a great boys room! I love it!

[JoyRenee]

It's great for a BABY boy; but not a big boy. Use it!
