Bear Room Final Phase: The Great Outdoors

Jack’s love of the outdoors is now living in his customized outdoors-themed bedroom. Black bears. Camping blankets. Rocks from Lake Huron. A tiny wood table. Fishing. And a cozy warm-by-the-fire feel. Fit for an outdoorsman.

We'd finished it just in time for his birthday. And he's been sleeping soundly & dreaming in there since.

Valances: Our own creation. After measuring our windows, we purchased wood cut-to-size at Home Depot. We cut a mattress pad cover to provide a softer look and pulled fabric over it all, stapling it all in place.

 

Tree Wall Hanging: Purchased for Jack’s nursery from the Ann Arbor Art Fair, 2009.

Personalized Bookcase: Christmas present from family in Kentucky.

Tiny Toddler Table: Ikea, LATT children's table & 2 chairs. It was originally a white top, so we covered it with light wood contact paper. Chairs too.
Cherry Wood Rocking Chair: Passed from my Mom, to me, to Jack.

Turtle Star Glow Light: Babies R Us (Actually a baby shower gift). Every night it’s placed on Jack’s bed and he falls asleep to the amber glow, which turns dark after 15 minutes or so. Eco-friendly.

I adore Jack’s new room. More than the nursery. Starting to realize that each phase of his life is more thrilling & warming than the last.
