Baby Boy Room Reveal

Originally I was desperate to have a Navy and Red or Navy and Orange baby boy room.  However, all of our baby stuff is Black.  We have a rocking chair and ottoman that I love and the crib itself is black.  Over time I realized it would be a lot more time and cost effective to just work with the black.
 
I realize I didn't do very good with my pictures, but I think you'll get the idea.  This is our guest bedroom.  The girls are having a "campout" with their sleeping bags and coleman light, but you get the idea.
 
We moved this bed and table into Claire's room, which works perfectly,
 
and moved the rocking chair, ottoman and crib into the former guest room soon to be
Baby Boy's room.
I went with the rustic outdoorsy theme... we hardly bought a thing for his room,
but my big purchase is a Rustic Light Up Initial that will go just to the left of the antlers.
(which I realize look crooked, but I promise is the poor photography)
I'm STILL waiting for the initial to arrive.  It's backordered.  AARRG
 
We, and when I say we I mean my father in law... mounted the antlers on our old fence which I have used for many many things. :)  I did stand over his shoulder gagging at the smell.  I didn't know when you cut antlers they stunk so terribly bad!!  Like seriously nastiness you've not smelled in your life!

I used twigs for his curtain rods, and the antler is a shed the girls' found on one of our Section 1 outings.  It was fun to incorporate things like that.
I found the chevron material at Hobby Lobby, and my Mom made his curtains and dust ruffle. 
She's making an adorable quilt too!  I'll show pictures of that when it comes.

 
We finally got the bookshelves up, which are also made of our old fence,
and the fish lamp my husband made in 7th grade shop.  You push down the tail to turn it off and on.  It won grand prize... back off ladies he's taken. :)
Our jar is filled with twigs and bobbers seriously the cheapest nursery décor EVER!!

 I really should have done a more intricate job with my photography, but I'm too lazy to take more pictures.  Maybe I'll post some more when I get my initial and quilt!! 
(but let's face it probably not... I'm much better with people pictures, and I'll have a BABY by then let's hope)
