Our Little Bears Nursery

Picture from the listing agent

So crazy to be prepping for another little boy. Well I am not sure why but I have a serious obsession with the buffalo plaid and lumberjack theme. We decided to do that theme for Bentley's second birthday party but soon after that I knew that was the same thing I wanted to do for the nursery. Obviously we do not live in the same house that we did when Bentley was born so the first thing that we had to do was paint all of the walls.

Room Before

 The previous owners were in love with some seriously ugly colors. The room was like a yellowish color and it just looked gross to me. So we painted the whole room grey first. Then we did a wood plank feature wall. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on it but also knew that if I waited around for someone to get rid of fence pieces our luck we would never find any. So I noticed that Lowe's was having a huge sale on the boxes of wood so we stocked up. They do not stick to the wall as good as they say so Johnny decided to nail them to the wall. I love love love it!!!

Wood plank wall

First thing we did was buy a new glider off of a local site. I decided to recover it to a solid black so that it matched the room a little better. Then I ordered the dresser, and had Johnny bring out all of the tubs of Bentley's old clothes out so that I could start putting them into place. I am just hoping and praying that the new baby will be able to wear the majority of the clothes that Bentley had because they will be born in different seasons. I mean clearly the Cashmore boys are not small so fingers crossed we can make due with what we got.

Well we all know that babies do not sleep in their nursery right away..... so this go around I kept telling myself this and I definitely took my time setting things up. But if you know me you know that I cant have things not done and prepared, so I started to kinda freak out when I got to the 35 week mark and it still was not done. LOL So it was time to get things into gear. I bought some decoration items from Hobby Lobby, found this super adorable rocking moose off another local site, and got the rug off Amazon.

I bought the crib we wanted but decided that we would not buy a new mattress since Bentley wont be sleeping on his too much longer. We got that all put togheter and set up and then finished hanging the rest of the decorations. I love the way that it turned out and cant wait to welcome our little bear into this perfect nursery.

The blank space below the wood log is where we will hang his name once he is born ;)
