I have always loved the beautiful lines of DucDuc nursery furniture which gives parents so many more modern options for their babies. And as a little local Brooklyn company, I'm really thrilled to see their exclusive new collection at La…
Putting together a nursery or little kid's room can be a challenge if you're going for a certain retro-mod Scandinavian rainbow look. I mean, there is nothing out there that fits that exact description. Or wait, maybe there is. The relau…
I'm always amazed to see the vast improvements in baby gear even since my littlest one, only two, was a baby, which gives me hope that they will one day be able to manufacture sleep for us parents. Ha. Until then, I'll just take little a…
Nothing finishes off a nursery like a beautiful handmade quilt. A mix of modern and handmade can create a stunning element of decor, especially in a child's space , but there's no reason artfully crafted baby quilts can't be put to use a…
Decorating the baby's room may be the most fun thing about being pregnant. (Unless you eat a lot of chocolate chip pancakes, which would make it a tie.) We had so much fun rounding up our picks for the coolest nursery and kids' room deco…
We have been long time fans of Zara so it wasn't hard to get super excited about the launch of their new new e-commerce home line for the US. We've been drooling from afar by looking at their UK site, but thankfully now we can enjoy it f…
Cool Mom Picks is a huge fan of the mom-and-pop created label Skip Hop. Back in March we announced that they're offering adorable nursery decor and crib bedding. And the news just gets better: Skip Hop has expanded its nursery line, with…
One of my most favorite items is a quilt made by my great-grandmother, handed down to me by my grandmother. There is something so special and meaningful about a handmade quilt, although quilting for most people seems like a talent reserv…
The new Lollipop crib bedding sets from Bloom are mod, cool and have a luxe 300 thread count, which is exactly what you'd expect from the company that produces such baby gems as the new eye-popping Zen Stroller and the luxury Fresco High…
The aden + anais swaddlers have been a staple in my household since my second baby was born, but now that my youngest is almost two-years old, we've outgrown them a bit. So imagine how thrilled I was to learn that they've recently launch…
As a mommy that is constantly on the go , I find that my kid's nap times can be interrupted by life. So if I can't create nap time at home, I'll create it on the go. You gotta do what you gotta do, right? And here's a fabulous bit of gea…
You know, it's ironic. I'm on the precipice of moving my baby into his first big-boy bed (sniffle), meaning big boy sheets, and it's only now that I've found all the most adorable organic nursery bedding for the perfect nursery. Smiling …
Decorating the nursery is one of the best--or most frustrating, depending on your point of view--rituals of pregnancy. Whether you're a perfectionist that knows exactly what you want and can't find it anywhere (oh, how I feel you!) or ar…
Avast, me hearties and shiver me slumbers! This organic pirate bedding is the next best thing to being rocked to sleep in the crow's nest. And even better, you can't get seasick! Those scurvy dogs at The Land of Nod are in cahoots with W…
There's something I need to get off my chest with Valentine's Day nearly upon us. As much as I cherish my spouse, sometimes this girl needs her space. In bed. I know you know what I'm talking about. Well CMP fave Twisted Twee clearly get…
I'm a big fan of gender-neutral colors , especially for the nursery. For my boys' room I mixed in the requisite blue with lime, red and brown, all of which I consider both boy and girl-friendly. When I saw the new ultra-modern pink nurse…
Editor's Note: The Nap Nanny and Chill have been recalled by the CPSC . You should discontinue use immediately and return it to your retailer. The last 8 1/2 months have not been easy. That's how long ago our second child was born. And t…
There's always been so much controversy about crib bumper safety. Even so, when my first son was a baby, I always longed for a bumper. They looked so cool in the crib and added that extra bit of style to the nursery. However since 2010 w…
My organic-eating, organic-dressing, organic-playing kids sleep on regular old foam pillows. There, I said it: they spend half of their lives with cuddling up with chemical-filled foam. Not one of the greatest horrors of childhood, of co…
Toddler beds are really glorious things. They ease the transition from the warm and cozy crib of yore, and the big bad bed of the future. And they're awesome for small spaces . The problem is that these little beds can come with a big pr…
I am looking for more suggestions for twin bedding for girls. Not cutesy pink all over...something more sophisticated she can grow into. Thanks for your suggestions! -Lisa Hi Lisa, We've featured a bunch of great girls' twin bedding opti…
I'm fortunate to have a daughter who takes violin right next to the Blabla Kids storefront in Atlanta, so every week, I poke my head in to say hello to their lovely staff and design team, and take a peek at what's new. And just wait unti…
When we bought our first crib, we listened to everyone who told us to make sure to get one that converts to a toddler bed. But then we had another kid who needed that crib, so we still ended up getting a toddler bed anyway. Truth be told…
I'm a firm believer in color therapy, especially when it comes to kid's rooms . So when I saw the bold and peppy new crib bedding sets from Maclaren , which happens to be the complete opposite of their very chic and very white nursery fu…
