Hey Friends!
I thought I would take a minute today & share with you an adorable room at my mom’s house. When my sister moved out several years ago, my mom decided she would use Cortney’s room as a nursery/kids room for my boys.
My mom wanted to go with a “vintage toys” theme for the room & it couldn’t have turned out any cuter! Sadly, I don’t have pictures of the room when it was a nursery, but I finally got my rear in gear & took some photos of how it looks today….
Since both of my boys have grown out of the crib stage, my mom & dad recently purchased a queen size bed for this room. Now the boys can share a bed when they come & stay all night. They already had the headboard, so after purchasing the mattress it was time to get some new bedding!
My mom didn’t want to spend a lot of money on the bedding and she wanted to go pretty neutral. There was already so much going on in the room in terms of the accessories, that it was important to keep the bedding pretty plain. She ended up finding the tan comforter at Walmart, the navy blue bedskirt at Goodwill, and then she made all of the pillow shams herself.
There really is SO MUCH to see in this room….so many little details in terms of all the chotskies! I think I will just let the pictures do the talking for the most part & chime in only when I need to!
You can see the theme of “vintage toys” loud in clear in all of the accessories throughout the room. There are litte vignettes everywhere….
Raggedy Ann Dolls and rocking horses….
The little shelves above the windows were built by my dad. You can see by looking at the picture below, that the curtain rod is built into the shelf….so cute!!
More vintage toy decor in this little tricycle….
My mom bought a few of the furniture pieces in this room at yard sales and thrift stores & painted them the red color you see here. The “Rock-a-bye Baby” was a custom order vinyl from Uppercase Living. Griffin made his way into a lot of these photos, because he happened to be playing in the room while I was taking these pictures. I don’t know about you, but I think he makes a nice little photo prop! 🙂
Here is a look at the room from the opposite corner. The red dresser you see in this photo, was one that she had when my sister lived at home. She painted it red to match the rest of the room, then mod podged brown paper to the drawer fronts & stenciled numbers on the front of each one. You can’t really see it in this photo, but the also used an antiquing medium to give the paper an aged look & add a little more character.
These old suitcases were a yard sale find & kinda serve as a nightstand on the side of the bed. I love the way she has them decorated….probably one of my favorite things in the room!
Airplanes…
And toy soldiers….
My mom also made the curtains in this room. She used a navy blue ticking fabric and purchased these adorable star tie-backs.
You can see that the room is totally kid approved….
Well, that pretty much wraps up the tour!
What is your favorite thing about this space?

adorable! my mom has a room set up for my kids, too! it’s actually very similar in colors, but a little softer. and she went nautical with the theme… but still- the kids all have a great place to spend the night at the grandparents. aren’t we lucky??
I love those shelves above the windows! My son went through a major train phase for several years, to the point that we now have two electric train tables downstairs (rather large ones might I add). I can see you got your love for decorating from your Mom! 🙂
Tonya, thanks for favoriting my tweet! This room is GORGEOUS and your Mom definitely has a gift for decorating. I love anything vintage, so the decor is really eye-catching to me…especially those suitcases and that tricycle. I wish I could play in that room!
this is so cute, Tonya! Love that your boys have a room at your mom’s house. You are blessed to have her live so close so she can keep them (and relieve you) when you need it! 🙂

She did a wonderful job! I bet they love the room 🙂
This looks really cool and gradma was really wise not to spend money in buying fancy stuff, this room looks perfect!
Okay…I need to live near you so I can borrow your mom and Mandy’s dad!! Like. For. Real. Love, love, love this room!
So very precious. And of course your mom made the pillow shams and curtains — it’s nice to see she’s not just talented behind the sewing machine (not that I ever doubted that). She put together an amazing and special space for your boys.
Oh, and I adore her Etsy shop!
