Vintage Country Girl’s Nursery

Description

My original intent was to keep the baby's room fairly "gender neutral". Whoops!  The furniture, bedding and curtains were all bought new, but the rest of the pieces we collected from antique stores and flea markets.  Some needed painting and a little TLC, but others were perfect just the way they were. You can find all of the project details here.

Design Inspiration

I have a passion for all things old and antique--so when we found out we were having a baby girl, I couldn't wait to incorporate that into her nursery.  We wanted something cozy, comfortable, sweet and vintage…and I hope we've accomplished just that!

Decorating Style

Vintage, shabby chic, country cottage, rustic…all rolled into one.

Project Details

Furniture: Franklin & Ben Mason Crib (Weathered Grey)Crib Sheet: Tiddliwinks Cottage Chic Fitted SheetBumper: Carousel Designs "Design Your Own" in Pink ChevronCurtains: Tiddliwinks Cottage Chic Drape PanelGlider: Quinn Swivel Glide with OttomanKansas Wall Art: My Roots CollectionLamp: Flea Market and DIY shadeDoily Bunting: DIY from Project Wedding Rag Rug: DIY from Moda BakeshopPaint Color: Restoration Hardware's Bay LaurelEverything else: Antique stores and flea markets

Favorite Items

My favorite item is probably the doily bunting above the crib because I think it gives the whole room such a sweet and delicate look. I also love the wainscoting my husband did on the walls--it really completes the nursery!

Advice

Start early and be patient when searching for the perfect pieces at antique stores and flea markets.  It can be tempting to just buy something to complete a project and cross it off your list, but try to resist if you're not completely in love with it!  It took about 3 months to collect all the pieces for the collage above our dresser--however, it was so worth the wait!

Can you tell me how you bought the glider? I can't figure out where online you purchase it.

Hi there, we have just bought this crib and realized that regular bumper can't really be tied around the slats easily. Can you share how you attached your bumper please? Thanks.
