But first we will be spending next weekend in Branson {it’s like Vegas in the Midwest but with a less than stellar hip factor}. The big road trip to said city is in honor of our oldest boy’s 8th birthday. He is OBSESSED with the Titanic and Branson offers a Titanic Museum which is the epitome of grandness when you are 8 years old and determined to be a boat captain when you grow up.   I think it sounds like a noble career goal ~ especially if we can stow away every now and then…

Anyway… as I mentally prepare for the impending weekend and the time that will be spent learning about the Titanic, I can’t keep but thinking how fun it would be to switch his room from the current train theme to something more nautical… thus this week’s Water Bound Wish List.

Every week I post a few things that we are LOVIN’ – CLICK HERE for all of the wishes from the last few months…

The whole delivery went off without a hitch… I’m sooo giddy excited about it all that I thought I’d post something fun for the new mama… absurd pacifiers. Cause why the heck not???

Have you noticed that every family has a different name for the pacifier??  In our house they were called “bites”.  They were my saving grace & there are still times that I wish Wyatt {6yo} still had one!! 
What does your family call pacifiers??

ROPE ART NAMES
Available from BuckarooStyle.com, this clever Rope Art gives a cowpoke’s room a YEE-HAW kick!!  As a Mom to two young boys who are 7th generation Texans, Buckaroo Style’s founder, Michelle Scott Hamilton, had a hard time finding cute and affordable decor for her sons’ cowboy nursery.  After a lot of brainstorming her business was born!! Perfect as a gift, each Rope Name, or any other Rope Word {”Buckaroo”, “Howdy”, “Yee-Haw” are good options} are made by hand in Texas by the Hamilton Family… Love it!!

FAUX BEAR RUGS
If you are going for a Rustic Lodge look then these Faux Bear Rugs are a no-brainer!!  What a delightfully soft place for the little ones to curl up and read their favorite books, or maybe watch a movie…  These Faux Bear Rugs add a touch of wild to your room, but we promise ~ NO Bears were Harmed in the Making of this Rug!!

UNCOMMON GOODS
No matter what your style, we LOVE Uncommon Goods.  They are the first place to go for quirky gifts and decor that will set your space apart.  Their selection of lamps is particularly darling for putting together a kiddo’s room.  Check out these three sources of light from Uncommon Goods…

TOY BOX
One more must-have for a little one’s room is a TOY BOX.  The Log Toy Box below {they call it a Quilt Box} is perfect for storing baby toys, toddler toys, and then teenage keepsakes….  Whether you are selecting decoration for a Western Bunkhouse, or a Rustic Camp, this BOX is gorgeous and functional!!

PENDLETON Blankets & Home Goods
You can never go wrong with Pendleton Blankets. As a family-owned operation that has been in business for over 140 years, weaving their woolens in their Mills in Oregon and Washington State, the Pendleton brand typifies Western STYLE and Native American DESIGN. I particularly love this Round Up Blanket which looks great mixed with plaids & ticking in a Cowpoke room!!

POTTERY BARN
The decorating standard for American thirty-somethings, Pottery Barn offers rich colors, innovative designs, and reliable style.  PB’s Rustic Cowboy Bedroom is particularly fabulous… I wrote all about it in July, but it is just too perfect {for little ones and teens alike} to not post again!!  BTW, if you would like to re-create this room then check out the wallpaper HERE for achieving a perfect rustic look on your walls…

JUDI BOISSON
A standard in linens, Judi Boisson offers her quilted bedding, hooked pillows, and handmade rugs to all styles of decoration.  For years she has lent her Western & Americana textiles to the world of Rustic * Western * Vintage Design; from the Log Cabin quilt to the Thunderbird pillows, Judi’s extraordinary designs are a must-have in any kiddo’s TERRITORY…  Mama wants one, too!!

POSH TOTS
Check this out!! I’ve heard of these folks but it has been a while since I’ve been to their site.  PoshTots.com offers TONS of fabulous Baby & Kiddo items, including some ah-mazing cribs that are unlike anything I’ve seen before * a selection of booties that will make great gifts * a tee pee with coordinating bedding, and of course the Fish Tales Bed & Linens below…  Love it!!

ALL MODERN BABY
With a nod towards the growing “Urban Farmhouse” trend I have to include Dwell Studio in our list of Furniture & Bedding for kiddos.  For a while I have admired their modern spin on Cowboy & Cowgirl bedding, all of which is available at AllModernBaby.com.

LARRY STEPHENSON
Known for his light-hearted approach to the toys and objects of childhood, Larry Stephenson’s TOYZ art work is a
               nostaligic way to set the tone of your little one’s bunkhouse.

PAM BLACK WAGNER
With earthy colors and a fantastical approach to her subjects, the paintings of Pam Black Wagner offer a long term solution to art in a child’s room.  My favorite in the collection on Wagner’s website, ‘a friend in need’, is below.  Wouldn’t this rich painting be equally beautiful above an iron crib, log bed or vintage dresser??  All of Wagner’s paintings offer this same robust point of view making them the perfect fit for moving from the nursery, to the tween’s room, to the family room.

LANTERN PRESS from Art.com
Lantern Press supplies art work to museums, lodges, national parks and more.  Using vintage materials to inspire the images in their 1 million + collection, Lantern Press sells to the trade only.  Fortunately they offer most of their products at Art.com.  Even better, most of the images come in several sizes.  I love this look for creating a lodge feel ~ perfect for your Boy Scout {or Camp-Fire Girl}!!

AARON FOSTER DESIGNS
Without question Aaron Foster’s license plate art has become an icon of the “junk revolution” of the 21st Century.  Known originally for his popular License Plate MAPS, Foster also offers FLOWERS, COWBOYS, hip PEACE SIGNS and much, much more.  These works are an investment in an artist who will be a symbol of Americana and Found Art for years to come…

OOPSY DAISY
Based in San Diego, Oopsy Daisy Fine Art for Kids is a collection of art that inspires children.  With over 600 works of art, from more than 50 artists, Oopsy Daisy is a family business that sells their art directly to retailers.  To have your own piece of Oopsy Daisy art visit KooKooBearKids.com.  I particularly LOVE the canvas {BELOW} for your cowgirl’s room…
