Asher's New Room Tour...

I'm so thrilled to finally share with you Asher's bedroom in our new house here in California. This post has been a long time coming, but I wanted the room to be perfect before I shared it with you and I finally feel that it is. You may remember Asher's lumberjack inspired space in our previous home and if not you can view it HERE.
 Most of you know that my husband is active duty in the USMC so base housing is what we call home. With that being said I'm limited to the amount of things I can do with the space and although I would love to paint the room, I'd rather not have to deal with the hassle of painting it back once we move... And I do love the brightness white walls bring into a space... I still kept the lumberjack inspiration in Asher's new space, but added some modern touches and finds to make it feel a little more like a big boy room instead of a nursery. 
Here is the full tour of Asher's new bedroom and a list of everything that's in it! 
One of my favorite things in Asher's room is this vintage US map Asher's Grandpa passed down to him. It had been in our garage for quite some time and when we moved into this new house I had to have it displayed somewhere... And of course Asher's room was the perfect spot for it. 
I adore a good gallery wall and perfecting this one was probably the hardest part of the room. I had so many great little treasures to display and had a hard time putting this wall together. After countless rearranging I finally decided on a layout that I feel fits the space.
The cardboard bull is another favorite of mine in the room. I found it on eBay when I was pregnant with Asher and just knew it would be a perfect for a little boys room. 
I made those plus sign wall decals out of washi tape! Can you believe that?! You can see the DIY post HERE
I displayed Asher's first pair of Freshly Picked Moccs on his dresser. They are so precious and remind me everyday of how small he used to be. 
We bought this teepee for Asher for his first birthday and I had originally had it downstairs and decided to move it into his room. It's bright, colorful, and makes the space pop! We also added a modern rocking chair to the space that Asher can sit it. This chair is excellent quality for the price! 
And a big boy room wouldn't be complete without a growth chart! Asher loves his growth chart and we've been documenting his height every month since we received it.

Asher's Lumberjack Nursery...

After I found out I was having a little boy I decided that I wanted a perfect little space for him... something that could grow with him and also something that I could pack up and redecorate in another house, since the military has us moving so frequently. With that being said we live on base housing so my decorating options were somewhat limited. I wish I could of gutted the entire room and started fresh, but I made due with what I had. (Times like these make me want to own my own house.)
-----
While I was home over the summer rummaging through my parents basement, I found a Paul Bunyan book that belonged to my mom when she was a little girl. I instantly got a great idea to create a "Lumberjack" inspired space for my little mister. After doing some research on the web, I found a perfect lumberjack nursery inspiration from Lay Baby Lay. The wheels started turning and eventually the nursery fell perfectly into place. I found some great thrifted items and used some sentimental things in the room like my husband's Boy Scouts uniform from when he was little. I also saved money by making the bedding which ended up being super easy to do! It cost me under $20 total to make. I found that decorating with items like a teething toy, shoes, and burp cloths gave the room a special little touch and was usable down the road. The cardboard bull (I refer to her as Babe the Ox) tied the room together and created a great 3D piece for the wall.
Here are a few pictures of Asher's nursery and a list of the items I used below.
