Wesley’s Woodland Nursery

We wanted to bring the outdoors in with this woodland nursery fit for a young Texan boy. The centerpiece of this nursery is a handmade tree custom built for this project and decked out with woodland creatures of all varieties. With deer print crib linens in a chic grey, white and navy color scheme, we wanted a masculine look with a contemporary feel.
The three dimensional tree trunk and tree limbs were constructed with a wood frame, wrapped with chicken wire then finished with paper mache to give the tree the texture of bark. It was then painted an iridescent white to give it a whimsical feel with some grey shading to give it depth. Additional limbs were painted directly on the wall and artificial leaves were spray painted white and adhered to the wall.
A rope swing with baby’s name hangs above the changing table and it too was adorned with furry woodland animals. Finally, a grapevine wreath mobile with miniature animals and stuffed deer head complete the look of this whimsical woodland nursery.
