The room started with the plaid wall. My husband had actually suggested that if we had a boy we could paint him a novacheck plaid room to match his favorite tie. When we got down to designing it, the Burberry pattern would be far too difficult for us to paint ourselves, so we came up with a more simple plaid-like design. It took my husband just a few days, and a lot of patience, to paint it and I love the result.
I wanted to add a textured barn-wood looking wallpaper to add an outdoors feel to the room. The paper is hung on a wall with a large 5 x 6 window. When we hung the wallpaper it didn't seem to go well with the plaid wall, but once we added the wall decals and the antler chandelier it all made sense. The chandelier tied the two themes (preppy and hunting) together. I'm really please with how both personalities meld together in this room.
All of the furniture was either handed down from a relative or an antique we bought for our daughter's nursery. Each piece has a story, which I love.

The custom wall art with the deer head and "Flinn" on a plaid background was created by Mackenzie Designs. http://mackenziekdesigns.com/
Barn Wood Wallpaper - Sherwin Williams. We ordered samples online and looked at samples in the Sherwin Williams store. We chose a paper that was thick and textured to add dimension to the wall and give it a more realistic wood-grain look.
Paint - Sherwin Williams. The base which covers three walls is Languid Blue. The blue stripe is Tempe Star and the orange is Energetic Orange. The cream was Lowe's Divine Cream left over from our daughter's toddler room make-over. Any time you can use leftover paint from a previous project it's a great way to save money.
Fabrics - I found the soft linen for the bedding, quilt and throw pillow at JoAnn's Fabric. The duck fabric and hounds tooth came from a discount fabric store in Springfield, MO called FM Stores. They have loads of designer fabrics heavily discounted.

Canvas Prints - A photographer friend (www.PrestonsPhotography.com) turned some photos we had of our dog into black and white, but left his orange collar in color for me. Then I used a coupon for www.CanvasonDemand.com to order two prints to hang above the changing table.
