Cowboy Baby Nursery

Get along little doggies! There's a new cowboy in town and boy is he happy with his charmingly rustic cowboy nursery. Mom Rebecca Forbush set out to do something different, and at the time- Cowboy decor wasn't as popular for nurseries as it is now. She says, "The cowboy room was fun because all 4 of my son's great grandpas have cowboy backgrounds.... made it all a little more special. Some of them contributed some of the decorations to his room, such as my dad's little cowboy boots when he was little."


The burlap on this wall isn't a funky new paint treatment, it's real burlap fabric tacked to the wall with rustic looking tacks. The denim of the other 3 walls, however, is painted on. Rebecca describes the steps: "You paint the wall first with a yellowish/ cream color then let dry, roll on a dark blue glaze and then go up and down, and side to side with a wallpaper brush.... really easy, and added a lot of character!"


The 2 red wall hangings with the black horse figures were re-purposed cabinet doors.


This super cute valence was put together using burlap and bandana-style fabrics.
