Decorate! Baby boy's room

We had immense fun thinking about how we would decorate our son's room, and were picking up bits and bobs before he was even born. Actually before we had even bought our current home!

I have a penchant for all things nautical so you might notice a theme emerging in some of the items here...


I saw this lifebelt souvenir from Shetland in the window of a junk shop. I thought £10 was steep and managed to haggle them down to £8! It's my favourite thing in the room.


You can see here where it hangs, over the cot. The cot is from John Lewis, given to us by my parents-in-law.


These sweet hangers on the back of the door are from Jojo Maman Bebe.


Another sailboat, bought on Ebay. The picture on the far left is a favourite William Blake poem, 'Infant Joy'.


Bunting seems to be a must-have in children's rooms! I jumped on that bandwagon.


Here's a little fishing boat! We bought this on a visit to Anstruther, a beautiful fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife. You get the best fish and chips in the world at the harbour here.


This sweet music box with boats came back from Italy with my parents-in-law. The fish tile was given to me by a lovely friend and former colleague.


Friends gave us these initial letters from Anthropologie when our son was born. I love the home section at Anthropologie! Shown here over the mantelpiece with a Moomin picture from our son's cousins. 


This political world map mural from National Geographic is huge and adorns one wall of the bedroom. We love pointing out places we've been and would like to go!


Finally this lampshade which I bought very cheaply and is very innacurate as a globe, but looks cool hanging from the ceiling!

I hope you liked seeing some details of our nursery. I know I love to see how other people have decorated their homes, but maybe I'm just nosy!

    1. I think the lampshade was bought on either Amazon or Ebay. Here is a link to a similar one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Earth-Hanging-Lampshade-Lightshade-Bedroom/dp/B00D5Z5FDY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392988948&sr=8-1&keywords=globe+lampshade
      I hope this helps :)
