Iโve always liked the idea of decorating with vintage childrenโs toys (I now own that there very toy typewriter), but thereโs another way to achieve that feeling, should you not have the shelf space or the inclination to go thrifting every weekend. Take a look at David Levinthalโs wonderful photographs of vintage childrenโs toys that you can find exclusively at childrenโs fine art mecca Little Collector.
Theyโre all from his Coney Island series, which feature โ you guessed it โ tiny amusement park replicas in the most wonderful colors. Each fine art photograph is only printed in editions of 50, 150, and 250 depending on size, so itโs not like some poster that every wall in the neighborhood will be sporting. Plus I just love how well they hold together as a series, should you want to hang three or four on a wall together.
Consider that this is the kind of art that transitions nicely from a babyโs room to a playroom or bigger kidโs room, a tip weโre always suggesting to new moms as they figure out their nursery themes. One more tip: Just be prepared for that bigger kid one day to ask you to go to the nearest amusement park pretty much all the time. Not that heโll need much encouragement.
Find the series of 7 photographs of vintage childrenโs toys by artist David Levinthal exclusively at Little Collector starting at $55 unframed.
