The anticipated nursery is finally finished! We are ready for baby Crew to be in his room!
I found a picture on Pinterest that I loved and used for my inspiration for a lot of the room. When I first saw the deer head I instantly fell in love and knew that it would fit us perfectly. The deer antlers and country theme really helped Daniel get excited, too! I also loved the pop of orange that this room had in it. This is the picture I used for my inspiration:
Crew's room turned out even better than I expected! I absolutely love it & I love it even more because we did so much of everything ourselves. So, lets go on a tour!
This is what you see when you walk into his room. We made many of the things you see ourselves. The deer antlers are from the Gurley Farm...at first Daniel didn't want me to put such small antlers on the wall. I had to remind him that this was for a baby! Daniel made the wood sign that says his name on it with barnwood from an old barn and old wire from the farm. He did the whole thing himself, and I am in love with it just because of that! I made the rug, crib skirt and the mobile! We got the blanket as a shower gift also.
This is a close up of the antlers and his name sign.
We added two shelves for holding books, etc. The teddy bear was one of Daniel's favorites when he was little, and the little red combine matches the combine that Daniel has.
As you keep turning to the right you will see his dresser (sorry for some of the clothes still on the ground, I am still sorting). The dresser is one I have had for awhile & its really old but I LOVED the knobs. Daniel sanded it and I painted it to try and match the room. I made the lamp that has the deer head on it and spray painted an old mirror orange.
As you keep turning around, you will see his changing table. We made the chevron changing pad cover and I bought the orange cubes online. I got the grey containters from Thirty One and they have an orange C monogrammed on them! Crew's closet is the one on the left & the closet on the right is still full of our stuff!
My aunt made us this sign that says, " To go to sleep, I count antlers not sheep." Love it & it fits so well in his room.
Lastly, this is a picture of the curtains we made. Notice that the curtain rod has antlers on the end! Love it! :) My aunt got us some really cute blankets that I wanted to display also.
I am in love with his room & can't wait for him to be here an be able to actually use the room!
megan, how creative of an idea this was. i loved it all. congrats to you and daniel on having a boy. keep us updated. susan and don.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to know that both the stuffed dog and the red model combine was a gift to Daniel from his uncle David. The dog for his first Christmas and the combine for his third birthday, which was a replica of what his daddy and uncle had just bought. They are reminders of a special uncle and I'm glad Crew can display them in his room.
