Baby Boy Rustic Woodland Nursery Room Reveal

If you remember, I shared all about our inspiration behind the room here: http://www.thejohnsonsplusdog.com/2015/12/30/baby-boy-rustic-woodland-nursery-inspiration/ and created this fun inspiration board.

This room has seriously serves us WELL since we moved in. We kept it fairly empty because we knew we were going to try to have a baby soon and didn’t want to get a room set all up just have to tear it down and figure out what to do with all the stuff. While we were putting laminate wood flooring down in master bedroom & living room, we slept in this room with a mattress on the floor. That was realllllly fun 6 months pregnant and all. Then while we were finishing up the living room, we had our TV, and two recliners in this room and used it as a VERY small living space. I’ll never forget our first Christmas in this house. We had a little 3-foot fake tree on a nightstand in the corner. I did what I could to decorate that room because the rest of the house was torn apart. I’m so glad we were finally able to get everything else outta here and get to work on creating a rustic woodland nursery for our little guy. One of my favorite things about this room is the furniture we ended up with. I love how rustic they look. It really ties the room together. Typically I’m a thrift store furniture kinda girl, but with all the other house projects we were trying to tackle I knew we needed something more simple. I also liked the idea of having something clean, sturdy and new for our little man. We decided on the Child Craft Redmond set (visit the blog post for a link to product).

Although they make a changing table in the set, we ended just getting the dresser and putting a changing pad on top. We are very happy with the dresser and crib so far! We also got the matching desk, which I’m using in my office right now. I needed a new desk and we figured that someday the dresser and desk may end up in the same room so we might as well get them to match!

You may have remembered in my my inspiration post that I mentioned I was going to make a mobile… well, I did. Almost.

And then I received this antler mobile with hand carved little animals and other rustic-y items on it as a very special gift at my shower. I took one look at this thing and just about fell in love. My halfway finished DIY mobile project came to screeching halt. The lady that made this for my Grandma was a family friend and unfortunately doesn’t have an online store or anything (you know you want one, huh?).

I loved the idea of putting a lantern in the rustic woodland nursery to give it a rustic feel. When I found this little mason jar decoration at Hobby Lobby, I knew it was meant to be.

You may have seen my post about this on Instagram, but this “You Make Me Brave” piece above Cal’s crib is super special. Logan sister, Amanda, started a non-profit called Unified in Mission a couple years ago now and she is living part-time in Uganda, Africa doing mission work and spreading the love of Jesus there. While he was visiting another friend that works as a missionary in Haiti, she had a bunch of these rad metal signs handmade there. She is selling them on her Etsy store, UgandaLoveIt. All the of the proceeds go towards Unified in Mission. They are doing some awesome things in Uganda, like building this school, running a child sponsorship program, and installing water tanks. Hop on over to her Etsy store and grab yourself a metal sign. Since we have grey walls and I really wanted this metal sign to stand out, I mounted it on a pallet wood sign with command strips. There are tons more details about our rustic woodland nursery on the blog. Come on over and take a look (link below).
