The "Vintage Inspired" Nursery

Once we moved Lucy to her room, we slowly began getting the nursery ready. I've recently become addicted to pintrest.com - and have seen so many vintage inspired nurseries - that I just love on that website. So, I was excited that the bedding I already had purchased, lent itself to a vintage style. I also had a number of items from my childhood, or that were important to me, that I wanted to incorporate in the room.

Here are those items...

Children's rocker - given to me by a family friend when I was young.
Silver Cup - My baby cup with my name inscribed on it.
Blue Baby Dress - A dress of mine when I was a baby that my mom saved.
Clear Glass Bear - Clear glass bear that was in my room growing up.
White bonnet - A bonnet of mine when I was young that my mom saved.
Willowtree Pregnant Angel - given to me by my mom when I was pregnant with Lucy.
Bird House - Was the centerpiece for my Decatur baby shower - when I was pregnant with Lucy.

I tend to pick up random things at garage sales, so almost everything else on the walls - I had in my "stuff" collection and just repurposed for the room. (I recovered one frame with scrapbook paper and designed the "rise and shine" design for the inside, painted a few of the other frames on the wall, etc...) Once we completely decide on the baby's name, it will go on the white canvas above the changing table.

I also got this baby a matching teddy bear, made by the same lady who made Lucy's bedding and bear. I love how it turned out and I hope that it will remind this baby (and me) of what her nursery looked like in years to come.

P.S. Still having occasional contractions, but nothing much to report as of now. Just waiting for this little girl to make her debut. 3 weeks or less!
