As designers, we like to make sure that we’re always “in-the-know” about the latest and greatest nursery and child items.

Room decor
The devil is in the details! I firmly believe for a room design to truly stand out, it’s the sincere, small touches that matter. For that reason, switching out your plain old dresser knobs in exchange for something fabulous and fun is a top 10 to-do in your kids room! But rather than heading down to the mega hardware store where the knobs and pulls are more likely suited for your kitchen, consider handmade…
I’d like to take a moment to compliment all of our readers. What a bunch of observant and dedicated nursery design enthusiasts we have!

Painting the walls are a great way to add drama and impact to a room but most landlords do not allow tenants to paint, so…

Brooklyn-based artist, Lisa Waltuch, the brainchild behind the concept, creates commemorative pieces of original artwork using your child’s art projects or old clothing.
As we prepare to enjoy our holiday vacation, eager for time off from school, many of us with children are getting ready for that period of constant entertainment and activity when the whole family is home! My kids are eager for that time off from school when they get to sleep in, watch movies, play with friends, and enjoy a less-structured life for a while. During this cheerful and festive time when the house can be a little chaotic, I’m thinking of ways to create quiet spaces for my children…
