Little Man’s Completed Nursery!!!

March 15, 2012
We are finally done with Little Man’s room! Honestly, it’s been done for a few weeks now, but I didn’t feel like it was truly “done” until all clothes were washed and every little detail was in place.
What makes this room so special to us are all of the family ties throughout the whole room.

The picture on the left is Baby Boy’s Great Grandpa Marvin when he played baseball for the Reno Silver Sox in the ’40s. The picture on the right is Baby Boy’s Grandpa Fred playing golf.

Paintings created by my mom!

 
This picture is of Baby Boy’s Great Grandpa Mo playing football. 

This is a newspaper article picturing The Hubby from when he played football for UNR.




                                                        Clock made by my mom!
Antique football programs! The one in the middle is a University of Nevada, Reno program… The college The Hubby and I attended.

An antique tennis racket and a poster from when The Hubby played against Washington State, his hometown team!

A little chalkboard for Gwynnie to play with while we do baby “duties.”

A pair of antique boxing gloves from the 1920s framed in an old window pane. On top, The Hubby’s old football number and a hand-crocheted owl.

The green shelving unit was purchased from a friend, and I looooooove it.

An old loving cup, an antique leather football from the ’50s, and an antique ping pong set.

A children’s football helmet from the 1950s, and Baby Boy’s Great Grandpa Marvin’s old baseball mitts from the 1940s.

My mom’s old sock monkey, “M” for our last name, and a magazine cover of The Hubby from when he played.

A homemade treasure box (made by my mom), and old wooden blocks that will spell out the baby’s name!

Homemade chevron lamp and height chart.

Crib and bedding. Love houndstooth!

Baby Boy’s name will go right above the crib.

An antique picture of Babe Ruth.

Baseball onesie from Etsy, homemade baseball bat coat hanger, and antique baseball mitt and golf cap (with houndstooth print!!) !

To finish off the room I got this faaaaabulous shag rug. It feels soooo good on the tootsies!

It just completed the room.

Inside Baby Boy’s closet. I LOVE having these 9 cubby organizers in the closets. I keep extra diapers, wipes, and other baby essentials in there.

And now all we need is for Little Man to arrive!!!
Happy Thursday!

    1. Emilie,
      So sorry I didn’t see this posting earlier! The bedding came from Overstock.com, believe it or not!

    1. Oh, thank you so much!
      I got a few bats from the college that they used for testing and then stained it. I then bought the little hook screws from Walmart and my husband screwed those in! To get it to hang on the wall, he drilled long screws through the bat into the wall and then covered them with these little matching plugs that aren’t noticeable!

  1. How did you hang the baseball bat on the wall. This is a project I am currently working on and cant wait to get it done! 🙂
