Cowboy Room

It has taken us nearly 10 months, but we finally have one of the boys' rooms decorated!  (We still have my old saddle and a couple of other things to add, but this is a big improvement over the white walls.)  Davis got a brand new cowboy-themed room!  I have been collecting this decor for several years now and finally have the perfect time/place to bring it all together.  Since the boys shared a room at our old house, this is the first time we've decorated for one of them since we did Carter's nursery when I was pregnant in 2007.

Actually, the only things we bought specifically for this room were: paint (Lowe's) the duvet cover and sham (Land of Nod), duvet (Ikea), curtains and rod (Target) and wall decal (Uppercase Living).  The other decor items came from my mom, Hobby Lobby & Target over the years.  The day bed & trundle were donated to me by my boss (love it!) and the remaining furniture belonged to my grandma when she was little.  It is the same furniture I had in my bedroom growing up & seems to fit perfectly in a little boy's room.  

I love how this room turned out and I know that my grandparents are smiling down on Davis in this room. They would have been so proud of my little cowpoke.  A big THANK YOU goes to Sean, who put all the elbow grease into the room to make it look like this.  Let's just say the tools got a good workout today.  He even had the idea to put the iron stars above the closet doors--it looks great!  Thanks, Honey!

 Not sure if the horse shoe is facing the right way...




 Couldn't have asked for a nicer free bed!

He approves!

The cowpokes are ready for bed!

Ride 'Em, Cowboy!

When my mom was here for Christmas, she brought my old cowboy boots...which were actually HER old cowboy boots from the mid 1950's.  She claims they were "hardly worn" when I inherited them.  As you can see, they have been well-loved and I do remember wearing them a lot when I was little.  

Mom actually brought these for me to use as I decorate the boys' rooms (a project I have yet to tackle), but Davis saw them and immediately said "Woody's boots!  Woody's boots!"  and insisted we help him get them on.  Then he wanted to wear Woody's cowboy hat (leftover from Halloween) to complete the look.  He is hilarious and so determined/stubborn.  We just couldn't say no!  It warms my heart to see him wearing these little boots that are over half a century old, with so much family history.  So now, he plays cowboy and the decorating will just have to wait...




 Gotta get my hat on...
 ...and fix my boots.
 Hey, which foot does this go on?
 ...and, he's off!
The cutest little cowpoke in the West!
