With my other two I knew the sex so I picked out sets that were more masculine/feminine. This time around I am having a hard time finding one that is neutral or I am just making it up in my head Chat Icon

With the exception of white (which is just me thinking that it's more feminine), I personally think you're safe!

Re: If you are team green are you having a hard time picking furniture?

I picked a white crib for Chat Icon #1 who turned to be a girl. I also registered for some modern/neutral bedding from Restoration Hardware. In my mind, I knew that there was going to be a #2 one day and we wouldn't find out either. My preference is not too girly or boyish anyway so with RH bedding I was able to create a very neutral pallete not too boyish or girlish. I guess I looked at it as an investment knowing that the bedding would be around for both kids no matter what the sex is of either. There really are some great bedding sets out there. I guess going for a a neutral pallete as opposed to what you have done in the past since you knew what they were might not be a bad idea. My mom and MIL, very off the boat, wanted to bombard my DD's room with all pink after birth and I have to say I am quite content with the lack of it in her bedroom. Not an easy decision forChat Icon but there are lots of great options out there. Good Luck!

ETA: If you select a white crib and yo have a boy and feel it is too feminine, there are great navy blue bedding out there that goes perfect with white and doesn't feel girlish. White beds can work for both boy or girl imho

Ditto -- I think any type of wood finish looks neutral to me!

I'm team green and I think any sets are pretty much gender neutral minus some of the antique white with very feminine details.

I did white for our team green nursery. I think it's more beachy than feminine, IMO white can really go either way.
