Mini Tour: Chloe's Restful Vintage Space

When we last peeked inside Jade's home, it was to tour her daughter Makena's "big girl" room. Jade is expecting her second daughter, Chloe, any time now, and we were thrilled when she offered us a glimpse of Chloe's space. Featuring vintage and Etsy finds alongside precious handmade items, this room is as lovely as it is soothing.

 
 

This creative, thrifty mix of old and new is exactly what we've come to expect from Jade, who runs the blog Chik Austin as well as Craft Hope, an ongoing charitable project that gathers handmade items from the craft community and distributes them to worthy causes.

For more photos, plus sourcing information, be sure to visit the detailed nursery tour on Jade's website.

What a sweet room! I love the colors! The sunshine print is precious. My son has the exact same mobile still hanging in his room; he's three, but he still loves looking at it from his bed below.

Thanks so much everyone! With just two weeks until the baby arrives, I can't wait for her to get here. The mobile is a vintage Irmi mobile. I actually found it at a garage sale, but have seen them from time to time on Etsy and Ebay.

What a stunning nursery- so calm and soothing. May I ask what the paint colour is?

I have seen the "You are my sunshine" print in some other nursery tours on the site and I was wondering where you got it.
