Nursery Details

A while back I shared some photos of Rafael's unfinished nursery, which you can view HERE. Yesterday the sun was shining so brightly in his room and I thought I'd take pictures of some of the little details and vignettes. Most of the things pictured are handmade and vintage items I found on etsy. Instead of sticking to an overall theme (like 'jungle,' 'superheros,' or 'cowboys') I wanted Raffi's nursery to have a sort of classic charm. I was very much inspired by my image of what Christopher Robin's room must have looked like.

I love the thought that it will evolve with his age. It was a lot of fun picking out little things for this boy's room, and I look forward to adding to the collection of vintage cars and boats, and handmade dolls and pillows.

  1. Lovely details, my favorites are the small vintage boat (I have a little wooden fisher boat with nets, I put it on the Christmas tree) and the pillow with the American Typewriter style letters and numbers.

    Do you know Gretel of "In the Middle of Nowhere", a children's illustrator and toymaker?

    Stay cool, it's going to be one hot day,

  5. There is so much love in that room!
    It must be so hot for you today. Take a book, put your feet in some cold water and let your husband do the cooking.

  11. What a darling room. Perfect for a little boy. You really did a wonderful job decorating it. Every detail is so thought out and precious. Love the stack of diapers on the shelf.
    I think Raffi is going to love his room and have many happy hours there playing with his toys.
