How to Decorate a Nursery With Winnie the Pooh

A nursery can be decorated with Winnie-the-Pooh bedroom accessories.

Winnie the Pooh has a long history. The original book, written by A.A. Milne, was published on October 14th, 1926. Many parents, who grew up with the stories, love Winnie the Pooh, as do children. A Pooh-themed nursery will bring charm to any home, creating a room that will grow with your child through his early years.

Instructions

1. Use bedding in the crib that has a Winnie-the-Pooh theme. Purchase the entire crib set, complete with sheets, comforter and bumper pad. Add a mobile. Hang curtains that match the bedding theme.

2. Decorate with a Winnie-the-Pooh border. Place it either at the top edge of the wall or at crib-top level. Set stuffed animals representing each Pooh character along a shelf. Place books on another shelf and use Pooh bookends.

3. Paint furniture to match the new room. Decorate the pieces, using stencils or stamps, with the Pooh characters. Start with an old, child-size table with two to four chairs. Stamp or stencil the decorations onto the top of the table and the seats of the chairs. Paint a rocking chair and stencil a design onto the top part of the back. Use the stencils or stamps to decorate the drawers of the dresser with characters from the books. Use a large stencil to decorate the cover of an old wooden toy box and put it in a corner of the room.
