Sometimes I feel sorry for Ethan. Because, try as I might to be a good boy mom, there are times that I just can't help myself. Sometimes I dress him up in leggings meant for girls. Or encourage him to play with makeup. Or...sing and dance to Disney music. But I guess you can call him well-rounded, right? My latest crazy idea is that I really love the Jenny Lind bed {I mean, it's all over the blogosphere right now} but I just worry that it's much too girly.
Enter Pinterest.
{When in doubt, always search Pinterest to reinforce some crazy idea}.
Welp, I'm pretty much convinced that a Jenny Lind bed is just as appropriate for a little boy as it is for a little girl.
What do you say...is this cool or crazy? Let me know in the comments!

ReplyDeleteNope totally works!! Great inspiration shots.
ReplyDeleteI think it's just fine for a little boy. Love the pictures, it's a beautiful bed!
ReplyDeleteI think it's adorable for a boy! When are you going to transition him? I'm trying to hold off as long as possible for Mila, but she's a crib jumper so I can't decide. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect for a boy, especially in that great shade of navy!
ReplyDeleteIt totally works for a boy or girl! Love the "pinspiration"! (:
ReplyDeleteI dont think that bed is girly at all! I love the inspiration photos! xo

Gorgeous bed and very special for your little man x
ReplyDeleteIt definitely works! I especially like the first two photos!
ReplyDeleteI love it in the blue!! These rooms are adorable.
ReplyDeleteCool. It is such a timeless piece too.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not too girly! I love those beds - great inspiration for a little boys room!
ReplyDeleteI totally think it's a boy bed! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove it in navy!!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty much obsessed with Jenny Linds and I think they work great for boys!
ReplyDeleteThe navy looks soo cute! Or should I say masculine?! ;) Ha! Love it!
ReplyDeletefunny you say this because i think we are buying the bed for cc too...i can't help it and it's just TOO cute. i say it all depends on the paint color and i'm buying black so i guess i'm totally going against the girly colors...lol
ReplyDeleteMy 17 mo old son has a Jenny Lind crib in white. I was afraid when I was pregnant (hormones) that it was too girly, but it fits his nautical room perfectly. Plus, I've seen people who have painted them crazy colors for the next children, so if you have a girl paint it hot pink or neon yellow! p.s. he wears leggings too!
ReplyDeleteNo way, I've totally had the Jenny Lind on my mind ever since the thought of a "big boy" bed entered my mind! Go for it!
ReplyDeleteI think this could definitely work for a little boy's room, I am loving that blue one.
ReplyDeletelove that blue bed! xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteThis bed totally works for little guys and girls, it's definitely not too girly. I especially love the Amber Interiors boy's room, she's a designer favorite of mine!

Totally doable for boys! I love it! The navy or black options are both awesome. I bet a bright green or yellow would also be great.
ReplyDeleteYes, it totally is!!! As soon as I saw this post title, I was going to suggest that room by Amber Interiors! You can totally pull it off and make it suited for a king! ;) We could not be happier with the bed, it was so easy to put together & very sturdy!
ReplyDeleteI am pro Jenny Lind bed! We're getting one for Hudson as soon as we're ready to transition him. I totally think it's a timeless piece for girls or boys. I can't wait to see the room update!
ReplyDeleteHmm I am on the fence. In navy I say yes...in white...idk. But wait is this little baby transitioning out of his crib already?!
ReplyDeleteYes. Love the navy. I feel like you can totally get away with that. And what Laura said...is Ethan going to a big boy bed???
ReplyDeleteIt's a definite yes!! love
ReplyDeleteLove it for a little boy! Dare I say, even more so than for a little girl?
ReplyDeleteTotally cool for a boy!
ReplyDeleteWe have an old one that we bought for Sydney and are planning to refinish in a link color. I think if you get one and do it in a really cool blue, black, or grey that it could really work!
ReplyDeletei love the jenny lind bed and i want it for us AND crue so i say its a go for boys too!
ReplyDeletei was JUST looking at the jenny lind bed for my little boy and was thinking to myself if it was too girly and how i could "man it up". i currently have the navy hemnes dresser from ikea so i'm not sure how to coordinate the jenny lind with this and what color. can i make it somewhat sporty? i'm so confused! ;) thanks for the inspiration pics! :)
ReplyDeletetotally cool! especially in a color besides white. i say follow your heart. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay just last night I was having the same dilemma, I saw one on CL and didn't email them since I thought it was too girly! I love these shots and you totally convinced me! I love it and blue and that was the color I wanted to paint it! Can't wait to see E's big boy room! XO!
ReplyDeleteLove the bed. Prefer the darker colors for boys, regardless of style to be honest. White works depending on bedding.
ReplyDeleteYou have been reading my mind! I've been eyeing them for Sam as well.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Do it!!
ReplyDeleteI think your Pinspirations have me totally convinced! Especially in the blue! FWIW, I was going to get the Jenny Lind crib even if we were having a boy. I told myself I would paint it grey or get the black one if it had been the case. Go for it! It will be great!
