Creating a Cowboy Nursery

These pictures are pretty self explanatory. We painted over the pink and white stripes with a brown and blue combination. The girls got to help for as long as I had patience...not very long.

I made all of the things you see with fabric: curtains, changer skirt, bed skirt, bumper, quilt

My mom helped make the quilt top and bumper, but I am happy to say that I did the rest myself...with some counseling with my mom over the phone.

We found these perfect accessories at Hobby Lobby. The boot is a bank!

This barb wire collection on the wall was Justin's grandpa's. He collected wire from all over the world and this is just a sample. He has the rest of it in a museum in Ardmore. We thought it was fitting to put in his great-grandson's cowboy room.

I would like suggestions on how to decorate the wall running the length of the crib.

Build a Bear

Grandma and Grandpa treated the girls to Build-A-Bear for their Christmas present. Merilee picked a pink unicorn and named it Ranibow. Cara had a hard time choosing, so Grandma helped her pick a teddy bear that got dressed in a ballerina outfit. They named her Sandy. The girls really enjoyed the experience. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

I don't have the time or patience to get the pictures in order, so you'll just have to view them backwards.
