Hunting and Fishing Nursery Theme

I got my inspiration for my baby boy’s fishing nursery theme from mine and my husband's love of the outdoors. We both love to hunt and fish and so do both of our families. After decorating my baby girl’s nursery in a modern pink and brown color scheme, I liked the idea of decorating a room that wouldn’t be outgrown so quickly.

So, his fishing nursery theme is very masculine. The fishing baby bedding for his room was hand made by a friend of mine that is an excellent quilter, it is so gorgeous! She even made the bed skirt and bumper pads! I made the curtains with some of the left over fabric from his bedding. I actually made them the day my son was born!

Some friends of mine threw me a shower, and since I still had everything I needed left over from my daughter, I didn't need much so I just asked for fishing decorations for his hunting and fishing nursery theme and they found some really cute stuff. The first thing you see when you enter my baby boy's nursery is a sign they found that says "bait your own hook, clean your own fish, and tell your own lies".

They bought a really cute canoe shelf and a night light lamp that is a fishing pole with a lamp shade. They also found cute fishing pole picture frames that hold 3 pictures each. A good friend of mine that thinks of my kids just like her own grandkids bought all kinds of cute things from a catalog for his room. She found all these really cute fishing inspired prints that I framed and hung over his changing table along with a cute sign that she found with 2 bears climbing on an outhouse that says "bear bottoms welcome here”

She also found some fake fishing lures on a string that I hung above the window, and some cute fishing ornaments that I hung around the pair of canoe shelves on each side of the nursery window. I hung some fishing net from the ceiling to hold any stuffed animals that will be accumulated. After he was born and we had decided on a name, I bought some big wooden letters from Michaels and painted them and hung them with twisted twine over his fishing pole frames.

I found a sign that says "I may be small but I fish big" that I recently added to the fishing nursery theme’s decor. There are several fishing inspired picture frames and knickknacks through out the room, including a fishing bear coin bank. I love how his hunting and fishing nursery theme turned out and I have received so many compliments on how beautiful it is. I hope our baby boy loves it as much as I do as he grows.
