Vintage baby nursery decor when done properly is as soft as the petal of an heirloom rose with decorative touches that remind us of days gone by. Take a trip down memory lane with us into the process of decorating vintage style nursery decor that is a charming blend of antiques and baby bedding found in the stores right now.
This lovely picture featuring a unique style of vintage baby nursery decor is shared with us courtesy of "A Little Bit Vintage". We appreciate that Rachel has not only allowed us to admire her daughter's beautiful bedroom, but has given us some clues as to how she pulled it all together so beautifully.
Rachel of "A Little Bit Vintage" says:
The picture above is is our daugther's shabby chic, vintage baby nursery that I designed. My goal was to create a room that refected our love of vintage style. As you can see, the space is an eclectic blend of vintage flea market and antique store finds as well as items that I bought new.
The baby's antique white or ivory crib and rose crib bedding set was purchased at Target. The bedding is a collection by by "Tiddlewinks" and the pillow is "Simply Shabby Chic". We purchased the large basket that you can see on the floor to the left of the bed that is being use to store extra blankets at Target as well.
One of my grandmother's friends made the child's rocking chair many years ago. The shelf above the crib was a garage sale find that I plan to use to display vintage toys as decorations for the nursery. To give the rocking chair and the shelf a vintage look, I painted and distressed them.
I found the
vintage babydress while browsing through an antique store. The wall mirror to the right of the crib was purchased at a boutique and came with a picture in top portion that I removed in favor of a pic that better reflected my ideas for my daughter's vintage baby nursery theme. I replaced the picture that came with the mirror with a photo that I took of the pattern on the crib sheets. I then decoupaged an "E", that I made out of scrapbook paper in the center of the picture.
My husband and I painted the pink roses on the dark green wall that closely match the roses in the baby's nursery bedding set.
Thanks again for sharing your lovely vintage baby nursery decor with us. Rooms like this give us inspiration to try something unique and original.
