I didn't have kids yet when I lived in New York, but if I did--or should we ever happen to move back (could happen!)--I'd need some help getting it all together. A toddler bed to fit in a Manhattan apartment? Recommendations for a fabulo…
If ever there was a "We knew her when," it has to be one of our favorite mom designers, Kiersten Hathcock of Mod Mom Furniture. We featured (and purchased) her gorgeous mid century toy box waaaaay back in 2007 and since then, not only ha…
Living in a big city has tons of benefits, but ample living space is not one of them. Which is why bunk beds are the urban dweller's most functional answer to shared bedrooms. It will certainly be the answer for my sons' room when the ti…
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…
Okay, I'll come right out and admit it. My bathroom has one of those mass-produced step stool eyesores in it that just about every one of my friends has, too. Yes, it works. My kids can climb onto the toilet with ease, reach the faucet t…
Stuffed animals, princesses, puzzle pieces, barrettes, stickers, play food , books...Walking into my daughter's room makes me to want to scream in a fit of frustration and horror. With all the options for toy storage out there (and we've…
The CPSC issued a recall of IKEA SNIGLAR cribs in the US and Canada, because the four bolts that secure the mattress support may not be long enough. Check your crib and see if the mattress support bolts extend through the nut. If so, you…
Sweet, pastel-colored, vintage-inspired furnishings all have their (very well-deserved!) places. But lately, it's the modern stuff that really makes me go, awww . And that's exactly what I said when I saw this gorgeous furniture. Pretty …
One of my most tedious nursery purchases nearly six years ago, was our glider. I went with that ubiquitous glider brand, whose styles were just...not me . It did the job of course, but it never made me happy to look at and it didn't feel…
We have wood crates, with toy fruit and veggies, crafts , blocks, trains, etc., but no way to store or organize them. Do you have a toy storage solution? Do you dump everything by category into bins or baskets, and shelve them that way? …
Our art and decor categories are some of our richest, which always makes it hard to pare down our faves of 2010. Here, find just a few of our many, many favorites. Art I think everything about Custom Toy Portraits (at top) is just magica…
Just when I was thinking "You know what would be cool? An ottoman made to look like an ice cream cookie!" our friends at Jellio came along and beat me to it. We've long admired this furniture designer's wildly imaginative creativity. And…
Searching for just the right children's furniture always seems a challenge. You don't want anything too adult, or too baby-ish either. You want something as beautiful as the rest of your decor, and if you're going to invest in quality ch…
If I could, I'd spend all day shopping for home decor. But with a gaggle of kids, that whole bull in a china shop analogy springs to mind. Thankfully, I an lean on the membership sales sites like One Kings Lane and their crazy mad discou…
I'm in a bit of a storage kick these days, trying to get all of the toys and games and stuffed animals and books that are out in our apartment, into something. Anything. Aaaaanything at all. Okay, maybe something pretty. Is that too much…
The piles of books and catalogs on our desks around here have gotten completely out of control, and with another official reader in our house, I only foresee more clutter in our future. So that's why I'm digging these desktop bookshelves…
Talk about truth in advertising: The STEPONBOX is a storage box that also functions as a stool. That you can step on. And a ton more. Available in four Jetsons-esque color combinations, the STEPONBOX is crafted of Polypropylene and Therm…
There's a lot of adorable children's furniture out there, but the big problem is the cost. At least for the stuff I tend to like, which is vibrant and modern and doesn't have the word Shaker anywhere near it. Then I discovered the afford…
Back about six years ago when I was shopping for our first crib, they were still made only for sleeping babies and not for their style-conscious parents . But these days, moms have a whole array of amazing, inspired options, and one of t…
Despite the fact that looking at this kids furniture got The Gummy Bear Song stuck in my head (no, I won't burden you if you don't already know it), I'm totally grooving on these adorable gummy bear chairs from yam & toast . They're swee…
I usually leave the furniture assembly to my husband; not because I don't know my way around a tool box, but because I figure I did all that kid-having so it's only fair that he do all the direction-following and screwing together of 400…
Back when my son was born, saying that you wanted a green crib meant you were literally looking for a crib that was painted green. I'm really thrilled now that more and more companies are offering eco-friendly options that are stylish to…
I have a confession: I have two children and I've never owned a crib. As a co-sleeping family, we've never really needed one. But now I'm going to tell you about the most beautiful crib I've ever seen, by which I mean the one that's maki…
When you discover a kids shop through the Wallpaper* Magazine Facebook Fan Page , it's a pretty good bet they're going to have taste up the wazoo. So when I clicked over to ella+elliot , yep. That's just what I found. This beautiful Toro…
