vintage | The Lyons Den

We recently welcomed a new baby into the world. Meet Luke :)

I wanted to wait until he was here and had his photo shoot before I shared his nursery. It’s been a work in progress for awhile now and we were able to complete it before he arrived.

I knew I didn’t want a specific theme or color scheme for the nursery. I wanted the room to be something our baby could grow into. We had a few vintage pieces we wanted to incorporate with the newer modern pieces. We also enjoyed tackling some DIY projects for the room to keep it personal and affordable. I made the changing pad cover, the throw pillows and the triangle quilt. My husband made the window valences and my Dad made the changing pad holder that he attached to the dresser. Luke also has three other handmade blankets from other loving family members. He was also gifted a handmade cradle by a family friend. We keep the cradle in our bedroom but still want to share a photo of it.

Some of my personal favorites in the nursery are the mobile, the wooden sign above the crib, the vintage toys on display and the rug!

Before this room was a nursery, it was really just a room for all of my husband’s music & sports stuff. We thought it would be cool to keep the record player in the nursery. This way we can introduce the baby to music early on…and also because we don’t have enough room downstairs for ALL of the record collection. Might as well store some in the nursery! We also had to put some of my husband’s guitars away but thought it would be nice to keep one on display in the room. The only other thing that stayed was the futon. However, I did get a new cover for it to spruce it up a bit.
