Add a touch of whimsy with these adorable wooden mushrooms!

Mushrooms are everywhere at the moment, which is excellent timing, as my daughter’s nursery is woodland themed. I’ve loved adding little details to her nursery, and one of my favourite additions were these little wooden mushrooms. They’re so cute, whimsical and the rich brown colour gives the room even more warmth and depth.

I thought about making some myself out of air-dry clay, but I wanted to add the warmth and neutrality of wood, and didn’t want to add more colours to the space with paint. I considered adding some details in white paint but in the end I chose to keep them just all stained and am so glad I did. I really love how minimal they are. This is such an easy project I wasn’t sure if it was worthy of a blog post, but they’re so cute and turned out so well I wanted to share them.

I found these adorable little wooden mushrooms online. They came in a variety of shapes and sizes, and were unfinished, ready for staining or painting. I didn’t have a wood stain that was the exact shade of brown that I wanted and so instead I mixed some brown acrylic paint with water to create my own stain. I added several layers of my watered down paint, letting it dry in between, and then sealed them before then dotting them about my woodland-themed nursery.

I hope you like this project as much as I do. Let me know if you do, and I’ll see you next time with another creative project!
