Baby A's Woodland Boy Nursery

So, now that my son is over 2 months old, I guess it's time to show off his nursery. We had it mostly done when he was born with just a few minor things  left to do, but overall it was "complete" when he turned a month old.

Ever since I found out I was pregnant last year, I knew I wanted a woodland themed nursery- no matter if it was a boy or girl.
When I found out baby A would be a boy, I narrowed down the color theme to Brown, White, Orange and Green.

Storage Galore!

Since my baby shower was also woodland themed (see my post on my baby shower here), I could actually use a lot of the items in the decor for the nursery.

My mom graciously sewed these adorable curtains.

Now, by no means am I a perfect decorator and my hubs is not the most perfect painter, but I think its cute.

Even though baby A doesn't sleep a huge amount of time in his crib yet (he has reflux and no matter what I do to his crib, he still won't sleep longer than 40 minutes at a time in it. He also still likes mommy cuddles. But when he hits 4 months, we are gonna try to get him to sleep more than once a day in the crib).

The toy corner, before I finished the walk decor.

The tree was actually part of our set for Shrek. The theater company didn't want it back, so we decided to incorporate it into the nursery decor.

This particular changing pad is small and most places don't make covers for them, so I used a pillowcase and a dishrag to cover it. 

I think it turned out not too shabby. I hope you think its cute too.

I used various printables for his decor that I found through some online searches.

• For his name clipboards (which I hope someday we can show off his art he creates) I used the woodland graphics from: We Lived Happily Ever After
• The 3 animals on the wall under the letters are from here: Mish Mash by Ash
• The mountains printable from here: Oh So Lovely
• And other various printables used in the room are from here: Soho Sonnet

I hope you have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Woodland Creatures Baby Shower

So last November (I know- sooo late to post) my besties and my mom hosted a baby shower for me and Baby A. Since Baby A's nursery is Woodland themed, they decided to do a Woodland themed baby shower. At the same time, my hubs held a "Chuggies & Huggies" party out in the Barshed with the guys- we provide the booze, friends brought the diapers.

My bestie/maid-of-honor and her hubs (my husband's best friend and one of his Best Men) made the fantastic food, where as my mom made the decor. It was held at our house, since most of our friends are familiar with our digs. The food spread blew me away...

There was a baby onsie making/decorating setup on the deck (Tie-Dye onsies and Iron-on onsies).

Besides all the food and drinks inside, we also did a few baby shower games before gifts opened. Look at this food spread!

We also had a woodland photo booth setup. Here's my mom and me.

Photo booth props and woodland cutouts (on drink containers and other stuff) created by: Big Dot of Happiness
My mom also made the take-home goodie bags.

And everyone signed the book "Where the Wild Things Are" for Baby A.

It was great that it was in November too- so I kept most of the decor up straight through Thanksgiving. ;)

We did a fall front door decor setup too.

At the time, we didn't have our wall chalkboards up yet, but this wall decor actually inspired us to put up big chalkboards in those exact spots!

I had a great time and I freakin' love my buds. I am so blessed for friends and family that cared so much about us!
I hope this gives you inspiration if you're planning a Woodland Creatures party too.
Have a great day!
