So I used the following image that I found on pinterest.com to come up with a Wednesday Wants Cheap Retro Chic Nursery pulled together from etsy vendors. (I added a little bit of a 70′s twist to it).

Inspiration:

Treasury:

Use the cool old office chair as a rocker with the Afghan thrown over it.
