Check out Part 1 of this DIY Vintage Nursery design to see how we painted the walls and installed a chair rail. In Part 2, we complete the room by bringing in all the furniture, including some thrift store and flea market finds and putting up a DIY cloud mobile and baseball bat clothing rack! We also gave big-sister-to-be a special princess corner in the outdoor patio!
Watch the video above to see the transformation and hilarity! Supplies and steps for the DIYs seen in this video are below!

DIY Vintage Baseball Bat Rack
Prep It:
- 2 coat hooks

- screws and anchors to securely fasten the hooks to your wall!
Do It!:
- Using a drill bit a little smaller than the screws on your hooks, drill into the baseball bat where you want to secure the hooks.

- All-In-One Wood Cleaner
- sand paper
- electric sander (if needed)
- paint brush
- scrub brush
- washcloth
- water
- painter's tape
- sidewalk chalk (for the hopscotch!)
Do It!:
- Prep your wood or deck by sanding
- Clean wood with water and rag
- Scrub wood with diluted deck cleaner, rinse and let dry.
- For hopscotch: measure and tape off hopscotch outline using painters tape and a measuring tape. I made each square a foot.
- Paint the wood or deck (within the painter's tape lines for hopscotch) with the DeckOver and let dry! Tip: use a thick coat as it helps fill in any indents in the wood.
- For hopscotch: draw in your numbers with the sidewalk chalk or you could paint them for a permanent result.
