Finally parents too can experience the happy comfort of Nook! Their new Pebble Perfect Pillows are filled with luxurious memory foam which contours to fit while still providing excellent support for expectant moms and groggy dads! The outer cover is textured, removable, washable and breathable, including ultra-soft Tencel eucalyptus fibers which are both moisture-wicking and naturally antimicrobial.

Oh… mama

Looking for the perfect mother’s day present… well look no further! The Mama Ring is a delicate rose gold ring has the word “mama” inscribed on the side (and comes with the optional diamond)! This ring is feminine and beautiful! Perfect for yourself or the mom who has sacrificed everything for you so that you could have a wonderful childhood! Just saying.

 

Vintage Inspired Children’s Art

Even the tiniest art collectors will appreciate this larger-than-life masterpiece. The My World Jumbo Wood Panel from Petit Collage is a colorful and intricate map of the world, adorned with signature flora and fauna for each region. The reproduced and collaged pieces are printed directly on wood, adding layers of texture as the contrast of the grain is juxtaposed with the print, creating a stunning effect.

Petit Collage is a line of modern baby and child art with a vintage twist. Founder Lorena Siminovich’s distinct handmade collages on wood capture the hearts of parents everywhere.

Keep the light on

There’s nothing wrong with monsters in your closet or the boogie man… as long as you can leave the light on! Night lights don’t have to be cartoon characters or light up your kid’s ceiling like a stadium. That’s why we love the nightlights from Happy Owl Glassworks! All of their night lights are original, drawn by hand, then screenprinted and fired by designer and owner Tracy Bull.

This is where fused glass meets a naturalist curiosity. So, if your kid is a little scared of the dark then let him pick from owls, ravens, giraffes, narwhals, walruses, elephants, armadillos and so many more and say goodnight to the monsters under their beds!

Art, Art & More Art

Do you ever wonder what to do with all those masterpieces your child brings home? Piles and piles of drawings, paintings, finger paints, collages, doodles, etc… all crammed in drawers or boxes and you just never find the time to go through them and can’t bear the thought of throwing anything out, right? Well we have found the solution to all your art woes!

Plum Print takes the overwhelming piles of artwork your pint-sized Picassos bring home from school or art class and transforms them into simple, yet elegant, coffee table books. Whether your children are 3 or 33 (in which case their kindergarten creations are probably getting moldy in a basement box rather than curling at the edges on your fridge) you’ll treasure sitting next to them flipping through the glossy pages of their mini masterpieces.

Tea Collection + $150 Giveaway

It’s that time of year again when we say good-bye to the daily grind of our interior design business and blog and go on vacation with the kids, and for me, that means an excuse for a pre-vacation shopping trip! This year like so many others, we went to my favorite kids clothing shop, Tea Collection, to scope out their Bali Collection, which has been all the rave.  We decided to get each of the kids one outfit to start off their much needed vacation and as usual, Tea Collection does not disappoint… from the colorful fabrics, the soft cotton material and the “goes with everything you already have in your closet” style the Bali Collection for girls is striking and versatile. The girls each picked out a swirly trapeze dress and matching stripped peadal pushers (oh and don’t forget the must-have bensimon shoes!) and as usual, we are not disappointed with the great easy-style and comfort from the new Bali Collection and anything that gets these two tom-boys into a dress is a bonus!

Last, but not least, the Bali Collection for Boys is fierce… I only wish they made men’s sizes! The youngest “man” in our crew decided that big boys wear colors too and we couldn’t agree with him more. Wearing an Uluwatu Tee and Colorblock Shorts, he exemplifies that cool boys can wear pink, that he’s ready for some island hoping, fun in the sun spring vacation! (Just for good measure he jumped with his new outfit in the water, because his clothes need to be able to withstand some serious play!)

We love this new Bali Collection so much that we’re giving away a $150 Tea Collection Gift Certificate to one of our readers! Simply  leave a comment telling us which new Bali Collection outfit is your favorite! We’ll pick a winner at random.

 

Congratulation to Nikki who won our !50 Tea Collection Shopping Spree! Thanks to all who entered and be sure to follow our blog for upcoming giveaways this May!
