John Woodford's Vintage Southern Nursery
all photos by On a Whim Co.
We welcomed our sweet John Woodford into the world on November 26th, 2019, exactly a week after his due date. Almost two months have simultaneously flown and crept by since then, but I am loving every second of watching this precious boy grow. John Woodford has slept in his nursery every night since the first night we came home, so this room is getting plenty of use. I wanted to finish it completely before he arrived, and since he took his time, I had plenty of extra days to work on it! There are still a few things I want to add here and there, especially now that I have a better idea of what we need practicality wise, but overall I love how it turned out. It’s the perfect mix of traditional southern, modern, and vintage with sentimental keepsakes throughout. I loved designing this space as it was just an empty, blank white room when I started a few months ago. Just about every piece has meaning in here which I love. I can tell John Woodford all about each item as he gets older and I can’t wait to watch him grow and learn in this room. I’ve linked up all the decor sources I used through out this space and some of my favorite baby items for you to shop below. If you have any questions about anything not mentioned, just ask!
