Classic Old Toys Nursery



This darling room design came to us from Lucia Tacla in Brazil. The amount of hand-painted detail in this room is simply amazing! From the text on the walls to the hand-painted pillows, Lucia did it all. The neutral colored walls serve as a backdrop to the tastefully done "classic old toys" theme that is carried throughout the room.



The story walls were hand-painted using a diluted paint technique to give it the light appearance. According to Lucia, "It was a challenge because each wall had a different measurement, and everything had to follow a metric and a self harmony".  Through trial and error, she created a story that works with the space and incorporates the classic toy figures in a pleasing pattern.





The knobs on the chest of drawers are hand painted little soldiers.




This looks like a haven of calm and tranquility!


The classic old toys theme even made it onto the custom designed fan blades.





A few of my favorite old classic toys...

Boys Clock Room

Designer Nicole from Little Liberty really made time stand still with this fabulous boys clock room! As she says, "This room really shows you what a massive impact great wallpaper can have". This room was designed for a well-traveled 5 year old boy but it is sophisticated enough to stand the test of time (if you'll pardon the pun).  This room can serve as a comfortable retreat for your littlest buddies to your young men.
The pendant lamp adds to this room's uncluttered, clean look.


The world clocks wallpaper serves as a backdrop for the other coordinating pieces.










Since the owner of this room is a big fan of "The Lion King", a canvas lion image was included that matches the room's colors and feel.
