The Planning Phase of our Baby's Vintage Bicycle Nursery Theme
As soon as we learned that we were having a baby boy the gears started turning in my head. My husband is an avid biker so he wanted to do a vintage bicycle themed nursery. I was hesitant because I thought it would be difficult to find bicycle decor to use in decorating the baby's room.

Decorations for the Baby Nursery ThemeWe knew we didn't want the traditional pastel colors of blue and green for our baby boy's nursery. We decided on an olive green, chocolate brown, and white color scheme. The colors look absolutely amazing together. The top third of the walls are a bright olive green. My husband then put up a tall contemporary chair rail and painted the bottom two-thirds of the walls white to give to appearance of wainscoting. The bright green walls make my son's eyes light up every time we enter his room.
The Baby Bedding and Nursery Window TreatmentsWhen it came to the bedding and window treatments the
baby nursery ideas that I had in mind included something with stripes and polka dots. I wanted something for his
brown and green nursery that was contemporary and that would contrast with the
vintage bicycle nursery theme.
We were having a difficult time finding just what we wanted in any of the nursery decorating stores or on any website so my talented mother and I hit the fabric stores. We found the striped fabric at LuLu Belle's Fabric. The polka dot fabric is from Hancock Fabric. My mother did an amazing job custom designing the baby bedding, the
nursery valance and diaper stacker.
Vintage Bicycle Nursery Wall DecorThe vintage bicycle chalk drawings above his bead were found on Etsy. The iron bicycle sculptures were found at Hobby Lobby. Above his changing table is his name using Pottery Barn Kids lowercase letters. Changing table baskets are from Michaels with custom fabric bands decorating them to complement the nursery's decor.
The Nursery FurnitureOur baby boy's crib and dresser are from Treasure Rooms and are the Munire Urban collection. The rocking chair is from Treasure Rooms and is from the Best Chair collection.
