Parker’s Sweet Vintage Nursery

Description

For my first baby, I knew I wanted something sweet and simple. I'm a lover of anything old and vintage, so that's where I knew the direction of the room would go. I started off collecting little odds and ends when I first found out I was expecting. Almost every item in the room (expect the crib) came from a flea market, antique store, or thrift shop. I never tried to match things perfectly, I wanted it to feel effortless and beautiful.

Design Inspiration

I believe my style & inspiration has stemmed from my Great-Grandmother, Millie. She found beauty and elegance in the littlest of things, which I always was fond of.  I knew that I wanted her to be "apart" of my daughter's nursery. So I found tiny items that reminded me of her, or that I knew she would have liked!

Decorating Style

Vintage with a hint of retro!

The rocking chair! My Mother worked so hard on it! She completely redid it and put in so much time and effort. I believe it completes the room!

Advice

Simplicity is best! Look for a few key items that you really love, then design around them. The first item I bought was the humpty-dumpty bank from an antique store. I loved the colors and the vintage feel. That's where the whole design started!
