It all started with a quilt. And the quilt became a dream. And the dream became a reality. Thanks to the hard work of probably every member of both sides of my family in one way or another, Mac has the nursery of my dreams! (yes, MY dreams ;-) THANK YOU, EVERYONE!
I'll start with all the finished product pictures, and then just a few fun ones to show the steps along the way! Enjoy!
and here's the view of the whole room from the door (the best I could do with my 50mm ;-)
Now, I have to give credit where credit is due!
The quilt was hand-made especially for Mac by Mom Oliverson... and it is the first piece I got for his nursery and what I designed the ENTIRE room around! I absolutely love and cherish it. And Mac does too ;-) The bedding was made by me, with some help from Mom Oliverson when I got fed up. The photos are the ones I took of Mac and put on the blog a while ago, and the frames are Ikea. The chair is from Marshalls ($99) and the pillows were made by my Momma (the "M" being a total labor of love ;-). Sheepskin, Ikea. Rolling cubby bench was HAND MADE by my awesome brother in law, Charlie. Spray painted in bright red by myself and Momma O. (again, when I got fed up ;-)
All of the crocheted animals were custom made for me by a woman in San Antonio who I found at a resale shop. She only charges $12 per animal!!! So I bought a million. My Momma painted the adorable wood ornaments and I build the frame for the mobile.
And I sewed the changing pad cover with that super adorable cowboy print fabric. I was so excited when I found that. The crib and changing table were hand-me-downs from my sister and law, saving me a ton of money there! Rug, Overstock.com (only $33!) I made the cow-print ottoman... just recovered this nasty green thing!
My Dad made the floating bookshelves and hung them at a height he can eventually reach.
The cowboy hat was purchased at a store in Preston Idaho that Zacho used to buy toys at when he'd visit his Grandma every summer. It cost $1.99. Love it.
And that's all that I can think of! Thanks everyone for all your help and contributions!! I L.O.V.E. the way it turned out. LOVE.

Hooray for pictures of the new place! His nursery is SOOO cute!!! I bet it is so nice for him to have his own room now!
Please tell me these pictures will be submitted to a magazine or some home decor blog. It's so adorable!!! Rush got somewhat of a nursery after about a year, but Hailey has just been thrown in the guest bedroom with not a single thing on the walls! Poor girl... I just won't let her see pics of Mac's room, so she'll never know what she missed out on. :) I love EVERYTHING about it. You are so creative! And by the way, what's Zach's grandma's name? My friend's in-laws are all from Preston and a bunch still live there, so I'm curious if there's any relation. Love you!!!!!
