When I was pregnant with my daughter (my first baby) I knew I wanted to incorporate my love of vintage into her room. I have never been big on themes so I decided that I would buy white furniture and use items I found at antique stores to give the nursery a clean, simple vintage feel. So I began my search. I had so much fun scouring stores for little bits of vintage baby. I was able to find so many cute things. Her room turned out exactly as I envisioned it. I kept all of these items and have in recent years used the pieces as centerpieces for baby showers instead of flowers. People are always intrigued by the little vingettes I set up. I can't tell you how many times I have heard "Oh I had one of these" or "I remember this from my childhood". Looking for some kind of photo inspiration, I pulled all of these items out and began to shoot. Below are some of the shots I came up with. Do you think anyone would be interested in these prints for a baby's room? I value all of your opinions so I thought I would ask.
Happy Friday everyone. I hope you have a great weekend.
These are so sweet. I love the look of vintage baby rooms! I think these would make great nursery prints!

definitely! they are very gender neutral, well, with the exception of the one that says "girl". any hip mamma would want one on the nursery wall!

The pictures are wonderful! I can see just them in nurseries all over the world. Who doesn't want a happy little piece of their past?
