FIREMAN NURSERY THEME
or
FIRE TRUCK NURSERY THEME

Fireman nursery theme ideas and inspiration can be taken from furnishings and equipment we’ve seen over the years in the average firehouse. For most of us, the knowledge we have about firemen and the traditional firehouses was obtained from watching the old time black and white movies. Remember the exciting scenes where the horses were frantically pulling the wagon through crowded streets getting to the scene of the rapidly burning building?

While those days are long gone, the firemen in our country have always been fearless, heroic and loved for the sacrifices they were willing to make to do their jobs.

No wonder the fireman nursery theme has worked its way to the top of the popular nursery themes list, especially since 9/11.

Fire truck infant bedding in fire engine red or even black and white polka dotted baby crib bedding ala Dalmatian puppy, some fireman's helmets and a fireman's ladder that doubles as a collectibles display shelf are all possibilities for building your fireman nursery theme and decor.

Consider painting baby's crib fire engine red and the other three walls a shade to match your baby boy's crib bedding.

Brass fixtures were common in the old time stationhouse. Stroll baby for a visit to some antique stores or shop an auction online for a vintage brass fire alarm bell (you may want to remove the clapper for the sake of your sanity after the baby gets old enough to ring the bell) or a brass fireman's pole! If you are fortunate, you may be able to find a discarded fireplug which with some sandblasting and bright nursery safe paint can become a wonderful fixture in your firehouse nursery theme! I've seen fire plugs in some towns painted with clothing and faces! They were so cute! However, if you're going for the traditional look there is no way to go but with fire engine red.

Hang a fireman's black rubber coat on a brightly paint wooden set of wall pegs.

Arrange some big black and white stuffed toy Dalmatians around a painted wall mural featuring your renovated fire hydrant and some trees. A nursery area rug in the shape of a fireman's hat, a dalmation or even a fireplug or fire engine will anchor your themed decorations very nicely!

Those are just a few accessories and ideas to commemorate our dedicated heroes and public servants, the firemen.
