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.
