My friend Jenn is having a baby and requested some ideas for a ‘Vintage Nursery Rhyme’ nursery. She doesn’t know what she’s having (I think it’s a girl) and so it has to be gender-neutral.

It was harder than I thought! I would get a few signature pieces and then just fill the room with vintage blocks, wagon, books, etc. to get the feel of vintage.

Good luck!!

Anyway, I need this pillow right in my face when I wake up. It might help??!
