My Vintage Nursery Tour | Eclectic Thrifted, Antique, and Heirloom Decor Nature Theme Baby Boy Room

The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/tinyacorn05211
The nursery is finally done! And I am so excited to share my little vintage and antique nursery with you all! The theme for this nursery was nature. I wanted to steer away from having a lot of "baby-looking" decor. I almost wanted it to look just like a regular room but with a crib and changing table. I used lots of thrifted and secondhand vintage items, as well as some antique heirloom pieces that we already had. I really hope that you enjoy! Comment below if you are expecting and working on a nursery yourself.

Erica, I hit pause when you said that you need both hands to pull out the drawers on Monty's dresser. Here's the solution: Take the drawers out, turn them upside down, get an old candle and rub the wax on the bottom of the drawers where they make contact with the dresser drawer frame. Then, replace the drawers. Now, be careful when you pull out the drawers because they will come flying out, so I'd try it a few times before you fill them up again. If it doesn't work the first time, use more wax and make sure it covers the area of the drawer slides. (Sorry, I don't know the proper names for dresser parts.) Best of luck dear. Now I'm going to watch the rest of Monty's wonderful space. Back again! I adore Monty's bedroom. You've made a wonderful space for him to grow in. Brava, Erica!

[@alteredcatscyprus]

I need to try that, too. Thank you.

[@annettemurielle]

@@alteredcatscyprus You're very welcome. Remember to pull the drawers out slowly once you do it. I did it to a kitchen drawer and it flew out and everything landed on the floor. LOL! Best of luck!

[@alteredcatscyprus]

@@annettemurielle LOL! Thank you! It sounds like it could turn into a zany adventure!

[@angelalau2655]

You can also rub hard soap on the wood - that‘s what I did on my drawers 🙌

[@annettemurielle]

@@angelalau2655 thank you! I will keep that in mind. :-)

[@mola.s]

I love how Montana's room turned out. It really does have a grown-up vibe while still being whimsical and functional as a nursery. So many unique pieces in there!

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much! That's what I was trying to go for, and so I'm really glad it came accross that way!

[@yeseniagutierrez6653]

By far one of my favorite nurseries ❤

[@shereeralph3802]

My step-dad used to restore vintage furniture, and also teach how to do it at TAFE. Grab a white candle, and run it on the bottom runners of each drawer. It will help it to slide more easily.

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks for the tip! I'll try it out!

[@delanietimm8858]

The room is darling Erica! It reminds me of Christopher Robin mixed with the Lost Boys. I think it is charming, everything is intentional and meaningful, and I LOVE that you kept the dresser white. The white reminds me of the nursery from Mary Poppins.

[@TinyAcorn]

Oh, thank you!! You're right, there's definitely a Christopher Robin/Lost Boys feel to the room!

[@mrsr559]

What a charming nursery! I have a little tip to help the antique drawers slide a little easier. Take the drawers out and using a dry bar of soap, rub the soap along the bottom edges of each drawer. Replace the drawers and they should move a little easier:)

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much! Oh, that's a great tip for the drawers!

[@judithjensen2457]

It's absolutely darling!!

[@TinyAcorn]

Thank you!!

[@heykaylane]

I love it!! It’s so whimsically vibey for a baby. His mama has style. 🤎

[@TinyAcorn]

Aww thanks so much!! I was definitely going for a bit of whimsy! 🤎

[@juleso9797]

Absolutely LOVE Monty’s room it’s perfect. Some people may think you need to have Teddy bears and kiddie things all over just because it’s a babies nursery you are decorating but you really don’t. Monty’s room is made with love…and that’s all that really matters! ♥️ 🇬🇧

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much! Yes, that's exactly how I feel!!🤎

[@clairebanks1462]

Well done Monty's room is fab. It's going too grow with all the treasures he finds on your adventures throughout his life😊😊

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much!! Yes, that's a good point, it will be easy to add to the nature theme with treasures from the outdoors he will find as he gets older!😊

[@dianaceniceros1315]

The room looks great! Love the vintage details.

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much!!

[@AMuslimMiss]

I absolutely love this 😍

[@donnawaugh5991]

I love it with all the sentimental and nature inspired items!

[@TinyAcorn]

Thank you so much! I think Monty will really enjoy learning about the history behind the nature family heirloom pieces as he gets older!

[@itscarolinemary]

wow love the nursery! It has this woodsy, vintage eclectic vibe! And it still works as a nursery. Amazing job!

[@TinyAcorn]

Thank you so much!

[@gemmakissack]

If you rub candle wax on the draws they slide super easy in and out 😁

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks for the tip! :)

[@tinah4208]

So cute! I'm loving the versatility of the dresser too as he grows. Can't wait to see the t-shirt! Excited for you!

[@TinyAcorn]

I was thinking that about the dresser too. Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! I'm looking forward to being able to show the tee soon!

[@dianamvd]

I like the gold metal crib better because It ties in with your yellow chair. His nursery turned out lovely!!!

[@TinyAcorn]

Oh true! That is a better match. Thanks so much!!

[@tara1638]

What a beautiful special room he can grow in to!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much!! Yes, I'm hoping he'll really enjoy it even as he gets older!🤎

[@nataliescott936]

I love how unique his nursery is!! It looks great and not like any nursery I’ve seen before. That little table from your mom is adorable

[@TinyAcorn]

Thank you, I appreciate it! I do love that little table!

[@antonellabassi3466]

Lovely!

[@michellenobredias2439]

The nursery looks great! I especially loved the picture of the two cats. :)

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much!! I'm really fond of the cats picture two! It's actually a vintage paint-by-number. :)

[@michellebernabeo5464]

beautiful! so cozy and peaceful

[@TinyAcorn]

Thank you! 😊

[@sandielindemeyer9341]

It’s awesome and so unique. Especially love the crib, have seen anything like it before.

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks!! I was excited to find that crib!

[@kdonaker1]

Such a cute vintage vibe! And love the feather banner ✨

[@TinyAcorn]

Oh thank you!!

[@Myfairgirlie]

Oh my goodness that’s so nice. I’ll be spending a lot of time in that room.

[@TinyAcorn]

Oh thank you!! Yes, I will definitely be in there a lot!

[@brontec9769]

I love your style and it's definitely a unique nursery. I feel like it is a little depressing for a child's room, with all the dead insects and the skull, it kinda feels like a musty museum vibe. :) But that's the beauty of decorating your home, it's so personal and it doesn't matter what me or anyone else on the internet thinks about it, as long as you are happy.

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much! Hahaha yes, it does have a bit of a museum vibe! I think as he accumulates more toys and things it will become a bit more youthful though. And yes, I do feel happy with the final product! :)

[@annsmith4739]

Hi looks realy nice ,love the changing table very clever ,loved the cot ,sending love an blessings,much love to you an the family Ann uk xxxx

[@TinyAcorn]

Thank you! 🤗 Love and blessings to you too!

[@christinekrebs2420]

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much!! I had fun coming up with ideas for the design!

[@marielenihan7385]

Erica well done, wow that nursery is gorgeous it really is. It's unique ,well thought out & personal . As for the crib, you made the right choice I think. . . .it's fit for your prince Monty. Also best of luck with your t shirt launch xx

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!! haha yes, gold is perfect for my little prince ! :)

[@jbar234]

What an amazing room!! It’s fantastic, great job! 😍

[@TinyAcorn]

Thank you!! 🤎

[@wildwomanoutwest]

i love all the nature. it really is perfect.

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much!🤎

[@karmanjones8346]

that crib is so awesome!!!!!!!! love love I think it turned out just the way it was supposed to be!!:)

[@TinyAcorn]

Aww thanks you!! :)

[@RN-mn3jn]

I love it! The gold crib looks like brass😱. The "brass" with the red rug & the yellow chair is AMAZING 👏 The entire nursery is perfect and trend setting 👌 I can see if you put this on pinterest ...there will be others follow your style.

[@TinyAcorn]

Thank you!! 😊 You're right, I think the brass look is why I was why I was drawn to that crib. Aw that's so sweet! I think I probably will post some images to Pinterest.

[@dearlyemily7042]

The crib is beautiful, I thought it was an antique

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much! I think the antique-look is why I liked it.

[@chelseagrace170]

An easy hack for those sticky drawers is to rub candle wax on them, it really helps them move smoother!

[@TinyAcorn]

Good to know! Thanks for the tip!

[@susanma4899]

I think the crib needs a bumper--get your friend Psychic Outlaw to make a cool quilted one!

[@TinyAcorn]

Oh that's a great idea! and would be a good way to add some more color!

[@sarahrobinson5338]

Ok I have to know about the chair!! Where did you get it? It’s beautiful!

[@taylorsmith5039]

I must know how you made (or where you found) the bird feather banner. obsessed!

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks! I made the feather banner with brown embroidery floss and feathers I collected.

[@judith.corinne]

I’ve heard that paraffin wax can help with the antique drawers!

[@TinyAcorn]

Oh that makes sense! I'll try it!

[@elliedent4941]

I voted for you to strip the dresser and now seeing it in the space, I’m glad you didn’t!

[@TinyAcorn]

That's how I felt too!

[@annac2190]

Lovely video. Will your tshirts be available to buy in the UK? 🇬🇧 x

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much! I’m going to aim for the shirts to be available for the UK just haven’t decided yet which company to go with for those.

[@Moni-bg7ok]

Watch out for lead paint in the dresser.

[@zlatinkaquinones3733]

It doesn’t look like a kid room to me🤷‍♀️Sorry but thank you for sharing I love all the pieces in the room have a great weekend

[@TinyAcorn]

Fair enough! I think it will become a bit more youthful as he accumulates more toys and things. Thanks, have a great week!

[@heidykatheryn8279]

I want to see the nursery, it’s 90% of you talking 😵‍💫
