Next in our Vintage Eye Candy Giveaway is little Carter’s nursery. Mom, Priscila, has sent in some great photos including a large variety of vintage pieces that are truly amazing. She’s even included an adorable collage she made (last photo) using vintage cowboy books, pictures and a vintage sheriff badge!
Here’s a tour of Carter’s nursery in Priscila’s own words…
“This is my son Carters room “cowboy Carter”. I was very inspired by the vintage type fabric by Michael Miller. I searched and searched while I was pregnant for a perfect nursery for my little one and just saw the same kind of nursery decor at different stores. I wanted his nursery to be special and to be very personal. It’s my favorite room in the house and I love to just sit in his nursery and rock him to sleep while looking at all the special vintage items I picked up for him. I wanted it to have a “Im going to dress up like a cowboy” instead of a very grown up cowboy feel. I think its fits well and I know its a theme we can have for a long time. I would like to eventually make this theme into a playroom once he is interested in something else! Enjoy the pictures!”

Hi, I’m Holly and this is my first time here. What a cute blog! I came especially to see Priscila’s work but i have a feeling I’ll be coming back!
Well, I would want to spend time in Carter’s room, too! What a super job Priscila did and it must have been so much fun putting it all together. I think that’s a great way to pass the time while WAITING for your little one!

Aw thanks everyone for the comments! Everyone is so sweet! Carter’s room came at a hard time financially (it was when the economy really started getting bad). It really helped me to get through a couple hard months that I was so stressed out about. Going out and trying to find the perfect pieces for his room and looking for a bargain really helped me get my mind off of alot. It is by far the most “loved” room in the house and Carter is deff a little cowpoke!
