I’ve been around the block so to speak when it comes to the nursing bra and the Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra literally melts onto your skin. I wore mine for both maternity and nursing so needless to say, it got maximum usage. Its seamless design and buttery soft and stretchy fabric is supportive making it comfortable to wear 24/7.

So now that you know it feels wonderful, we’d like to give a shout out to the Bravado designers for making it look wonderful too. Clearly taking cue from the fashion runways to the Pantone color ways, Honeysuckle is one hot color. Our readers think so too! Here are some Honeysuckle inspired spaces direct from our project gallery.

The ladies behind Big City Moms, Risa Goldberg and Leslie Venokur are well-known in this industry for throwing the absolute biggest and best baby shower events in New York City.

The first item I ordered for myself was their brag book. It’s the perfect memento to place on my desk or to carry around in my bag to show off photos of my daughter. The book is durable, so it can survive living in my purse. The price point also makes it a great gift option for grandparents and extended family.

I also fell in love with their photo notepad and had to order one with the tagline “From the Desk of Kristin.” There are so many ways to customize the pad—you can choose an icon for the cover, customize your text and select a photo for the inside. The pink heart notepad would be a fabulous valentine’s gift (hint, hint to all the husbands out there).

Pinhole Press’s silver plated frame also makes the perfect “classic gift.” I adore this frame, and the quality is something I expect to see at my mom’s house on the “do not touch shelf.”

Honest.com offers affordable (and downright cute!) non-toxic diapers and eco-friendly family products delivered right to your doorstep. “I’ve spent way too many hours researching products and driving around, trying to find safer, eco-friendly options for my kids,” explained Jessica Alba, President and Founder. “I knew that most people didn’t have that kind of time, nor the means to pay the premium prices. We had to make it easier.”

Parents are able to curate bundles online for delivery. Diapers are available for less than $20 a week, and a monthly supply of the body care and home cleaning essentials comes in at just under $9 a week. It’s awfully convenient, and from what I’ve gathered from their bustling Facebook fan page, the customer service is outstanding.

I had the opportunity to meet the beautiful celebrity mom of two and hear more about her freshly launched company with fellow Co-Founder, Christopher Gavigan. Christopher is a renowned environmentalist, author, former CEO of Healthy Child, Healthy World and father. The evening was hosted and moderated by the fashionable Nicole Feliciano, of Momtrends, and most of New York City’s top mom bloggers were accounted for. Jessica and Christopher graciously passed out their personal business cards and shared insight into their brand’s mission, personal stories and more.

The lovely evening concluded with a handful of lucky attendees winning very cool Honest Company Diaper Bags. Jessica explained how she designed the diaper bag herself and that she did it with her husband in mind. As multi-tasking moms, we know what it’s like to juggle the baby, the kids and their stuff all at once. And when Jessica’s husband offers to help her, let’s just say carrying her girly diaper bag probably isn’t his first choice. While I did not win the gorgeous, gender-neutral bag, savvy Project Nursery friend Julia Beck, of Forty Weeks, offered her winnings to our wonderful PN readers. How awesome is she? (Meet her on Twitter @TheJulia Beck.)

The Honest Company diaper bag, designed by Jessica Alba, is a slate gray messenger-style bag with hip yellow stitching and a “feels like” suede fabric. It’s roomy, and it’s stocked with samples of Jessica’s new line. Even my husband walked into my office and said, “Hmm, cool bag,” and then walked out. So do we have any takers?

WIN IT! One lucky Project Nursery reader will win The Honest Company Diaper Bag complete with a sample kit of their products.

The mattress features a firm side for infants, and on a the flip side, there is an added layer of natural latex, which is a little more body-conforming for your toddler. So not only can you have the reassurance of laying your child down on an organic mattress free of vinyl, PVCs or Phthalates, you also know that it will grow with your baby and remain a comfy spot for him or her to sleep.

The seat is NCAP crash tested with a steel alloy frame, EPS foam and LATCH installation up to 80 lbs. Expandable sides, height-adjustable head support and memory foam ensure a comfy ride for your tot. Because the seat sits low, it’s easier to get your child in and out of the seat, making it more comfortable for you. And its trim body style allows for three-across seating in a mid-size vehicle.

Other fun features include a cup holder (you can add up to four!) and the ability to fold the seat flat; you can even carry it backpack-style—great for frequent fliers!

FLOR has the perfect solution—you create the rug that’s just right for you with their tile system. Each FLOR tile is 19.7″ square, and they come in a wide range of colors, patterns and textures. You can mix and match the tiles in any combination that suits your fancy. You’ll see some examples below of creating borders, mixing textures and checkerboard designs.

I love the subtle effect created by alternating textures in the same color.

With plenty of patterns and colors available, you’ll find just the right match for your nursery or child’s room decor. You can create something classic or quirky. It’s up to you!

Super easy to install, you’ll have your new rug set up in no time. Check out Pam’s FLOR video to see a demonstration. While FLOR tiles are durable and you can clean them like any other rug, I love the fact that if there was a real rug catastrophe—like a grape juice spill gone unnoticed for days, you can simply swap in a new square.

You can create a soothing color scheme and a soft surface for your little one to play on.

WIN IT! One lucky Project Nursery reader will win any 30 tiles (creates a rug approximately 8′ x 10′) in any choice of color or pattern (with the exception of the Floresse collection).

HOW TO ENTER: To enter, visit FLOR and let us know in a comment which pattern (or patterns!) you’d like to have in your nursery, playroom or toddler’s room. Contest ends Friday, January 6, 2012 at 11:59pm PST.
