Gender Neutral Nursery Plans

May 26, 2014 By Erin Spain 9 Comments

It’s a bit early to be working on the nursery since I just entered my second trimester, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not planning and scheming already. We’ve decided to let the gender be a surprise with this baby. We found out ahead of time with both of our boys, and that was really fun and exciting too, but we wanted to change it up this time. This is most likely our last baby, and I just really want to experience that delivery room surprise just once in my life. That being said, I am a planner and the hardest part for me is creating a gender neutral space that will be equally suitable for either a boy or a girl. Luckily I am prepared in most other aspects since my sister has a boy and a girl and has offered up lots of clothes and gear, and we saved a lot of stuff from when the boys were babies.

I decided to put together a mood board for a gender neutral nursery with a gray and yellow color scheme. It’s neutral enough that I can add another accent color after the baby is born (Maybe emerald green or navy for a boy? Coral for a girl? I’m still undecided.) Of course some of these things I would DIY.

 

Gender Neutral Nursery

Here is a source list:

Dresser / Glider / Pouf / Chandelier / Basket / Mirror / Pillow / Curtains / Crib / Crib Sheet / Rug
I’ve never been one for a “theme-y” room, and I want something that can transition with the baby as he or she gets older. We will probably slowly start working on the room later in the summer and early fall, and of course I will keep you updated as we go along!

I already found this cute quilted throw at HomeGoods which I plan on using as a crib blanket.

If you have children, did you find out the gender before they were born? Or did you keep it a surprise? I’d love to hear your stories!
