Classic, Rustic Boy Nursery | G’s Room Reveal

As I plan, prep, prepare and “pin” for nursery #2, it occurred to me that I never shared with you the nursery I designed for G.  How dare I?  It is a room I love dearly; one that truly was built with love.  These images were taken just weeks after G was born (almost two years ago — how can that be?!?!?) so a few things have changed.  Though, not many.

G was named after the hubby’s grandfather and the men on that side of the family are among a long line of “outdoorsmen” with strong ties to a ranch in west Texas.  The ranch, that lifestyle and that pastime hold a special place in my hubby’s heart and are a large part of his history.  Being that G’s middle name came from such a generation of men, I wanted to incorporate a rustic feel and ranch style elements into his nursery.  I’m not big on themes — and certainly didn’t want G’s room to feel like a baby hunting lodge — so I used primarily a classic style and simply included a few, subtle rustic touches.

Here are a few images.  (Oh, and, you know me…I like to keep G’s name private so please understand the editing out of his name in the following photos.)

Instead of a mobile, we took soft, little plush geese (actually, I think they were dog toys) and hung them above his crib with fishing line.

I purchased a Restoration Hardware lampshade and placed it onto a deer antler lamp base that we already owned.  I also framed a few beautiful images of the ranch and placed them here and there.

I found a cute, stuffed deer head online at Cabela’s and created the coordinating base from a wooden oval-shaped plaque, batting and fabric.

I custom-painted this bookshelf to match the Restoration Hardware bedding.

For this picture display, I used barn wood frames and created custom mats from scrapbook paper and ribbon that coordinated with G’s room.
