Vintage Railroad/Chevron Nursery

A Project For: Maddox
Age: 2 months
Location: Oklahoma
Description:
I wanted to do something suitable for a little boy without being too "babyish". I thought a vintage railroad theme would be PERFECT because it can transition well into a toddler room. Besides, what little boy doesn't love trains?!?
Design Inspiration:
I saw a design board for a vintage railroad themed nursery and I thought it was SO cute! I took the idea and ran with it making it my own, of course. I didn't want to overdue the railroad theme, so I tried to incorporate little bits here and there through the artwork, prints, color scheme, and the dresser.
Decorating Style:
I love mixing old with new.
Project Details:
1. Crib- venetian crib in distressed white (www.brattdecor.com)
2. Bedding- It was really important to me that his bedding be machine washable and comfy! I bought a really soft, light grey quilt and ordered the rest of the fabric online. (www.premierprintsfabric.com) Bedding made by Lisa Ogilbee.
3. Chevron dresser- thrift store find customized by Agape Vintage
4. Bookshelves- picture ledges from IKEA
5. Vintage train posters- (www.greatmodernpictures.com)
6. Name display- acid etched letters (www.urbanoutfitters.com)
7. Custom glider rocker- Quinn (www.besthf.com)
8. Railroad number plates- I ordered a "6" and a "12" for Maddox's birth month and year. (www.Etsy.com)
9. Chevron pouf- (www.Etsy.com)
10. Gallery wrap- photo by my husband (www.mattmartinphotography.com)
11. Train clock- Hobby Lobby
Favorite Items:
My favorite item is the custom bedding and crib. It turned out beautiful! I also love the chevron dresser- so unique!
Advice:
Have fun and take your time... I searched numerous hours online for inspiration and picked up little pieces along the way. Eventually, it all came together!

Thank you! As a first time mommy I didn’t even know where to start in designing a baby’s room (ESP a baby BOY), but I love the way it turned out! I appreciate all the remarks.

On the river rock looking part – is that the really soft light grey quilt you’re talking of? I’ve looked over premier prints and don’t see that fabric, but would be interested to know what it is and where I can find it! GORGEOUS room…love it all!

Where did you get the bumpers from?
Jaime

I had the bedding custom made… The bumpers are part of that quilt I found and a stripe fabric from premier prints. The link for the quilt is below.
