Boy Nursery Ideas

I hate snow.

But today, it let Josh and I sit down and start conjuring up ideas for the house; more excitingly, the nursery.

We're 100% hoping for a fetus with a penis, but like I said previously, are not getting our hopes up. Plus this baby is nearly a miracle baby, so we'll be happy with either gender.

Just really, really want a boy :|

Anyway.

Here are some of the ideas we came up with for the nursery if it's a boy. Stay with me, because yes, we'll be doing camoflauge. But hopefully, it'll be well within good taste.

I wanted to do a 'manly' room with a slightly whimsical feel. So here are my ideas.

** The walls will be colored a suede light tan.

** I want a matching dresser, crib and changing table (with drawers) in the color: Espresso

** For the dresser and changing table, we will pull off the handles and put 'antler' handles.

** At Bass Pro shops, there are deer and moose heads that are plush. I want to find pieces of wood to 'mount' them to and put them up.

** We already have the camo curtains we made for the bedroom on a tree limb to hang.

** My great grandpa carves guns out of cedar, and I want to ask him to make me 3 and put up a 'gun rack' in one corner of the nursery. Hopefully he'll carve the names we chose (yes, all damn 3 of them) for the little guy.

** Bass Pro also has kitchen cannisters that look like shot gun shells. They're a lot cuter than they sound. Would like to put these on the dresser and put items in there like; the thermometer, lotions, etc etc.

** Of course a few pictures of mom, dad and Payton in camo. I'd say pics of Josh and his deer, but he never seems to kill one worth having a picture of haha

** Would also like to do some photos of Hunter, Duke and Remington (all of the labs we have had).

I need to figure out something else for the wall with the crib against it. Of course if it's a girl we will have the name up there in fancy wood letters, but I want to do something unique for the boy.

Maybe 3 shadow frames with 3 different articles of hunting clothing in it?

Not sure. Ideas would be greatly appreciated!
