Home with the Sellers: Golf Themed Nursery

As soon as we found out we were having a boy, the hunt for a nursery theme began! After looking at countless blogs, websites, and Google searches, there just wasn't anything that I absolutely loved. So we decided a little DIY would do the trick! After all the looking, inspiration was found from several different places and we decided a golf-themed nursery is what we wanted. Not too over-the-top golf but just enough so he can grow into the room. The room is far from finished but we have made a lot of progress! Here is what we have so far:

We started off with a little taping and a lot of paint:

I was able to do a lot of the painting since we splurged and bought No-Voc paint:

We went with a fresh earthy green. I was a little worried at first but now we love it! Not too bright or dark:

Matt and I completed the first coat and his mom helped us out by coming down and she helped Matt finish the whole second coat (I was "off-the-hook" again!). Notice the carpet in this pic. As I mentioned before, Matt ripped out the carpet in this room, as well as the guest room, and installed new flooring:

After the paint and flooring was installed, the fun part began! Since I never could find any bedding/accessories that we just loved, I decided to make them instead! Here are a few pictures of what is done so far:

Plaid and burlap (yes- burlap!) curtains! The details at the bottom of the curtains are my favorite- overall, a very easy project to complete. These fabrics are continued throughout the room. Matt did the heavy lifting and hung them:

I also created this monogram with the burlap and plaid and included some brown fabric to accent. You can't tell from this angle but the monogram is raised and gives a 3D look:

Matt's grandparents gave us this rocker- I love it! In the rocker is a pillow that I made with burlap and appliqued fabric:

One of our good friends scored this from the Fed-Ex St. Jude Golf Tournament. They hold these up when the golfers are about to swing. We hung this on the outside of the door (Matt's idea) and it gives the room a nice touch! Thanks Rita!
