Most of my baby's rustic nursery ideas were based on the camouflage crib set and decorative stuff that I found at one of the hunting supply stores online. Maybe I should start at the beginning and tell you why we decided to decorate the room like a hunting lodge; my son's name is Hunter because both his daddy and I love to hunt and we decorated his room to reflect his (and our) personality.
Forest Friends Nursery
Hunting Theme Nursery
Baby Owl Nursery
Bear and Moose Log Cabin Nursery
Long before he was born we decorated his room with hunting theme decorations. The fabric we used to make his curtains matches the Mossy Oak camo print of his nursery bedding set.
I painted not just one but several pine trees on the wall complete with pinecones and found some cute animal trophies that look perfect in my baby boy's nursery. I used theme to make an arrangement in addition to the paintings of moose, whitetail deer and elk that we had collected since we married.
I found an area rug with moose and bears that softens the wooden floors and a floor lamp with a shade that gives the baby's room a warm glow rather than a harsh light.
I found some amazingly realistic stuffed wild animals (right down to a wild boar!) at Stuffed Ark.
If you're not a hunting fanatic or love wildlife like us my rustic baby nursery ideas may not be your taste in decor but I thought the room turned out really cute.
