Henry's Tour de Nursery

Welcome to Henry's room! Come on in. Henry would like to show you around. He's very excited.

Check out this little hook with the cowboy boots on it! Henry has been hunting for something to hang his footed PJ's on in the morning.

He is very proud of this vintage cowboy fabric on his rocking chair. His mama got it on clearance for $6 a yard, which just excites Henry to no end. He loves a deal.

This chalkboard is a great way to create a "headboard," so Henry's crib can come out from the wall rather than be smashed up against it. Otherwise the whole room has this "spin cycle" effect, where all the furniture feels pushed up against the wall, with no dimension. This is Henry's decorating sense at work, I tell you.

He loves the shelf above his changing table, and keeps some of his favorite pieces up there. A boy needs something to look at when he's getting his diaper changed.

Above all, Henry is a worldly sort of cowboy, and wants to be reminded of this with a kitschy globe on his dresser. And check out his cowboy art, painted by his mama and aunt, next to the window.

Speaking of the window, he also loves how the chocolate-and-cream buffalo check curtains tie the room together. And P.S.? The curtains have a room darkening liner, perfect for those little cowboy naps! (Curtains from Pottery Barn Kids.)

Who knew an eight month old baby boy could have such a sense of style? Next stop: HGTV.

  25. That Henry! What a lot of talent in a precious little bundle! His room looks awesome.

  26. Stunning!!!! I especially love the first shot of him sitting on the floor. Does he have a rocking horse? I think he needs one ;)

    Seriously, I think clothing and decorating for boys is so much fun because it is more of a challenge to make it special and good looking and not generic.

    You have outdone yourself!

  31. Precious! The cowboy boot hook and the vintage fabric on the chair might be my favorite details. The paintings are so adorable in their spots by the curtains. I love that Henry can totally "grow into" his Western room as a big boy too.
