The Pirate Nursery

These first few pictures are all progress pictures just to show how it was done and why it took so long!

Here's the finished product.

My friend Kelly from my old work and her husband, Rich, surprised me with this beautiful treasure chest that they made for Maverick as a present. Isn't it beautiful???

Oh my gosh Maddie that turned out amazing! What a cute room! And the treasure chest was a perfect fit. Your baby can be born now that his room is done!

It makes me laugh that this is your first post since last September! It makes you wonder if this is ALL you've been doing for the last 4 months! Kidding...

WELL DONE, Maddie! I thought your red bedroom years ago was something, but you really outdid yourself!

It looks awesome!!! You are so talented!

Auntie Anne said...

I am totally amazed at this room. You really put a lot into this room. This is just plain fun. Congratulations!

Amy & Greg said...

INCREDIBLE!!! Wow! Maddie, I only wish you could work on my kids' rooms!

What a beautiful room you have created for your baby. It is evident already how he will be loved. You are such an artist, the painting is wonderful. I love the quilt your mom made for him too. You may have heard about these, or already have them but I have a recommendation as far as pirate books...."How I Became a Pirate" and "Pirates Don't Change Diapers". Dan loves to read them with a "Piratey" voice and my kids LOVE it!!! Written by David Shannon. Can't wait to see pictures of the new boy when he comes!!!

Wow, incredible details!! I especially love the land/sand bar detailing and the sail above the crib. Very cute! Maverick is so darling.

Tedh said...

Wow! That's quite the nursery. Nice job!

Stacie said...

THAT is AMAZING.

Sarah Larsen said...

Holy cow Maddie! This is amazing! I was gonna ask you who painted it, but it sounds like YOU did! I'm so impressed!

Maddie said...

Thanks Sarah! This was actually my first attempt at ANYTHING like this! I love the way it turned out. I sill have a long way to go in interior designing to reach your level, though. Love your house!

Cole Chandler said...

I came across your nursery and was curious where you got the bedding. I love what you did with the room!!!!!

Thanks, Elizabeth elizabethbilenky@yahoo.com

Hey Elizabeth!

Thank you for the compliment! This was over 2 years ago, so I'm not sure it's still available, but it's Cotton Tale's Pirate's Cove line. We found it on Overstock.com for a really reasonable price.
