American Western Nursery Theme

Our baby's American Western Nursery Theme has many pieces of rustic, homemade furniture and decorations that were all made by myself and my uncle.

Rustic Western Nursery Furniture

Every piece of furniture in the nursery is homemade including the babies crib and other furniture that were built from native pine logs.

When I made the three shelves for the wall, I decorated them with embedded rope on the edge that was secured using iron horseshoe nails.

Homemade Decorations for the Baby's American Western Nursery Theme
We made the homemade lamp that you see on top of the night stand using an old cowboy boot filled with rope. We also decorated the top and the bottom of the lamp shade with leather accents.

I handmade wooden planks that you see hanging on the wall. The Longhorns that I added were found at a yard sale but those Brands have been in our family for five generations (NOW 6!).

Creative Western Nursery Wall Decor
We used a rope as a border for the entire room on the baseboards and in a circular design just below the ceiling. We also used hanmade letters to spell the baby's name "CASH" on the wall above the bed.

Just to the right of the baby's name is an old mirror that was made from an old plow horse harness. That mirror hung in my great-grandfather's house since the 1940s.

How much would it cost our visitors to duplicate your western baby nursery ideas?
The total cost of decorating our American Western nursery theme not including the cost of the baby bedding was about $500. That figure includes paint, the wood that we used to build our nursery furniture and the rope. Most of the decorations in the room are either family heirlooms or were handmade.
