Inspiration: Vintage Baby and Kid Rooms

vintage-kids-rooms.jpgWe love the full title of this post at the Naughty Secretary's Club: "Vintage Baby and Kid Rooms Ranging from Glambiguous to Badassical." Many of the rooms featured (and there are many) will make you either laugh or cringe, depending on how sensitive you are, but we agree with Jennifer that some of these spaces are downright inspirational (aka badassical). Check out a few of our favorites after the jump.

We recently found some plastic crates like those red ones in the first picture. They were an awesome lime green color, and we're expecting our first baby next month, so grabbed a couple. Don't know how we'll use them yet, but we loved them. Very old school looking. Those really were the good old days of style in many ways...if you ask me.

Does anyone know good sources for vintage-look fabric and wallpapers similar to some of these? I don't need the real deal, but I love the 60's flowery prints and would love to find some similar fabric to cover our dowdy recliner, and maybe find some great wallpaper for our kids rooms.

The bottom photo with the green & purple color scheme and froggie motif with climbing object is pure genius!
