Shabby Chic Vintage Nursery

Loving this sweet vintage, shabby chic nursery! Designed by Vicki for her daughter Sofia - Vicki was 9 months pregnant when she painted the tree mural. In a few years this room will transition nicely into a "big" girl room. According to Vicki: "I created this room for my daughter who was born Feb 1st, 09. I've always loved shades of "Tiffany" blue and I think that this room reflects that - Diamond Vogel paint, "Cobalt Blue". I am so happy with how the hand painted wall tree mural turned out. I taped (double sided tape) large fake peonies to the wall to add dimension. The leaves are gold metallic. I also added a peacock last minute. This was all painted in one day while 9 months pregnant! I finally got the Pottery Barn Catalina magazine wall rack that I've had my eye on for a year now (roughly $100). A previously used mirror from another location in the house serves as her dressor mirror (I think it was from Home Depot for about $99). It's a little larger than I think I would have liked ideally, but I've gotten used to it. Corner antique cream estate sale table $27. Two wall shelves $4 each, Hobby Lobby. A hand me down crib from Grandma's house (checked for safety of course), and the white dresser is from American furniture, roughly $350. Curtains are discontinued target Shabby Chic collection from Ebay. Chandelier $130. Brown side table, flea market find $30. Enjoy! The bumper and the fitted sheet are from Target from the Shabby Chic collection."

  2. I love so many of the rooms you post!! I am 9 mo. pregnant with my 3rd and I have re-done every childs room and revamped every living area. It has been quite a "nesting" phase this time around! I have blogged about my daughters room, and soon I will finish the details on my son's and do his too, and the baby's room of course!!! I am SO INTO your blog! Thanks so much for the inspiring rooms and ideas!

  3. Just found your blog and I love it. I don't even have kids but such great inspiration here!

    And this wall mural is definitely my favorite. Adding the 3d peonies takes it up by a thousand percent. What a fabulous job.

  11. This nursery is amazing! It really speaks to me because: 1. My son has a very similar crib that was once my crib, and 2. It's so accessible and realistic, I feel like even I could put together such a stunning sanctuary!

  16. It was so hard to pick a favorite but I just melted when I saw this. Maybe because I have never had a girl to decorate for. Someday maybe a granddaughter???

    I love this so much.

  28. This is a great room. It gives me so much inspiration for my (hopefully) next nursery. My favorite thing on this is the name scripted above the bed. Of course I love the colors too, but such a personal and special way to personalize her beautiful room. You have my vote.
