Jackson Samuel's Little Nursery...

I thought I would go ahead and post pictures of Jackson's nursery! I've always loved madras and seersucker fabrics...so we decided a while back to go with a "nautical" theme for the nursery!  I found some great deals on fabric and loved sewing the bedding...it was a learning process for sure!  Jeremy and his dad have so many wonderful memories together on the bay..fishing, kayaking and just relaxing together.  So, I thought it would be sweet to use some of Pappa Chip's "nautical/fishing" decor. in the nursery!  My dad also spent lots of quality time with my grandfather ("Paps") on the water...they loved fishing together.  It just made sense to use special memorable items in Jackson's room...we look forward to sharing with Jackson all the many, many stories and memories of his daddy, grandfathers and great-grandathers that were spent on the water!

Here are a few pictures of the room...

This is taken as you walk in his room...(the oar in the corner was from Pappa Chip)...

(I appliqued/sewed the flags above the crib...)


Maternity picture that Jeremy's mom took!  We did our photo shoot on a cool dock with big shrimp boats in the background...wearing our seersucker and navy of course. =)

The fish mounted on the panel of wood and the fishing lures was created by Pappa Chip (he had this hanging in his special "man room" at home)...

Our friends and family gave us lots of fun nautical decor...and the fishing net was Jeremy's great-grandfathers...

My dad is hoping to find just the perfect oil painting done by his dad...my grandfather ("Paps") so that we can hang it in the nursery too!  We can't wait to show baby Jackson his new room!
