nursery ideas from etsy


We're renovating our second floor starting next week to make room for the little one on the way (a yet-to-be-named baby boy:)). For the nursery, I'd like to keep the style simple & clean (something he can grow with), with some vintage accents. I couldn't think of a better place to hunt for this style than etsy. So, perusing I did, and here are some of the items I adore (clockwise from upper left):

** farm animal baby blanket from BubblesandSqueaks; * french market basket from sadieolive; * vintage wooden blocks from sadieolive; * bird clay tag from marleyandlockyer; * grain sack pillow from jillbent; * vintage floral banner from jillbent **

Aren't they adorable?? :)

My plan is for an all white/ beige nursery with the occasional red accent. My mom found a sweet little rocking chair on the side of the road, which we snatched up and I will be painting a fresh coat of red. Once the renovations (on room and furniture) begin, I'll post some photos.

Happy Wednesday:).

  1. I love your nursery ideas! It's so much fun decorating and preparing for the arrival of a new baby.

    I know you enjoyed my little "book review" last night (thanks for the comment, by the way!) I've written loads of them, mostly about little kid books. Next time you're visiting my blog, click on the books label in the sidebar to check them all out. Some are a must for reading aloud to little ones!

  2. Oh Blair, so very happy for you both and so wonderful to be sharing this most exciting of journeys with you! I love the colour scheme you've chosen. Did you know that pre WW1, red/pink was for a boy & blue for a girl? I always remembered the fact, but not the reason why!! Anyway, I am so in love with Etsy too, ordered some amazing letterpress business cards which are being printed right now & I can't wait to see them. Bright red little rocking chair - oh my! With love, Rachel xox
