A boy’s nursery filled from floor to ceiling with vintage objects, DIY projects and a rustic gallery wall. We tried to balance what we love as adults with what will engage our son’s imagination and his feelings of belonging.
Whilst it is currently a nursery, it can easily be transformed into a toddler room by switching out the crib for a bed. One of these days I will be able to get rid of the feeding chair, but for now we still use it every morning.
I decided to do a western themed birthday party for my son’s second birthday.
Having a farming and ranching background on both sides of the family, we pulled a collection items from numerous family members to create this western themed room for our little cowboy.
Cowboy theme. We didnt want the same ole’ theme from the stores, so my husband suggested Cowboy and Indian party. We had to ditch the indian idea after not finding anything in the stores. So Cowboy it was!
Customized from top-to-bottom, we had the pleasure of working with this little cowboy’s parents-to-be to create a perfect space for their new arrival.
A perfect little buckaroo’s room! primary colors, shapes, and cowboys!
I was asked to design my daughter and son-in-law’s very first nursery…Hudson’s room is a soothing, calm room with vintage elements, re-purposed furniture and details that have special meaning.

5th Birthday Party with a Western Toy Story Theme.
I recently wrote an article and styled four boy’s birthday party themes for HGTV! Styling/Paper Designs by The TomKat Studio Photography by Laura Winslow
Jake’s 1st birthday party was so much fun to plan and style. Lil’ Buckaroo jumped out at us as the perfect theme because that was his nickname we gave him in response to the way he “bucks” when he gets frustrated. Once I had the theme, I instantly knew I would be working with the red bandana, denim and cow prints to use as my pattern and color palettes. From there, I created the designs using those colors and a star I designed to resemble an old western sheriff badge. This party started out as just a simple idea and I am so thrilled with how it came out. It was the perfect 1st birthday party for my son!
