After my last post on spots & dots, I thought I should show you one of my current obsessions: GEO!
As I mentioned, I’m slightly over chevron so triangles and geometric shapes are a great alternative.
Lamp / mobile / decals / quilt / print / linen / mobile / cushion
Are you seeing spots? You aren’t alone! 2012 saw chevron everywhere (yes, I’m slightly over it) so what do you think will be the chevron of 2013? In my opinion, you are going to be seeing polka dots and geometric prints everywhere. I’m sure you have started to notice the trend!
I love spots. They can be gender neutral for those of you that are planning a nursery or they can be used when transitioning your little one to their first big boy/girl room as they aren’t too babyish and not to grown up.
Dots aren’t a trend to use on every surface, but check out my finds to see some items I think would really set off a room design.
1. Paint palette linen 2. Neon spot cushions 3. Dotty blanket 4. Mini pom pom garland
5. Multi spots removable wallpaper 6. Mini Dot Rug 7. Neon mobile 8. Smartie pillow slip
Spoonflower, one of our favorite places to shop for unique, quality fabrics online, recently hosted a contest asking designers to create fabrics with both lions and lambs — signature animals of March— and the submissions were gorgeous.
Check out the top ten designs on the Spoonflower contest page. We can visualize pretty much all of these fabrics in a nursery or kids room — on accent pillows, as window treatments, or even crib bedding.
It may not feel like Spring just yet but before you know it the trees will be filled with leaves and flowers will be blooming. And the truth is I can’t wait! Not only because of the weather and beautiful flowers, but also because this means I get to enjoy brunch once more. It’s not as fun in frigid temperatures, don’t you agree?
Inspired by the upcoming season (and Easter!) I created my Ultimate Easter/Sunday Brunch Table Setting – it’s chic and cheap, just the way we like.
You might have heard all the buzz recently about the new $3000 Aston Martin stroller that hit the market. Sure, it’s got style and flare. But even if I had the money, I just don’t think I could bring myself to spend a small fortune on a stroller.
The 4Moms Origami Stroller ($849) on the other hand, is worth every penny in my book. It has everything a mom could ask for in a stroller. Literally. EVERYTHING.
POWER-FOLDING: Opens and closes itself at the touch of a button.
SELF-CHARGING: Generators in its rear wheels charge the Origami while you walk and can even charge your cell phone.
LCD DASHBOARD: Includes thermometer, speedometer, trip and lifetime odometers.
CELL PHONE CHARGER: Use the Origami to charge your cell phone while you walk with this optional accessory.
LOTS OF STORAGE: Strollers need to work in the real world, not just in the store. That means cup holders, storage pockets and a big removable storage bag.
Just watch the video below and you’ll see what I mean. But we warned, you’re going to want to run out and buy it this instant.
Minted recently launched their New Birth Announcement Collection, including some pretty cool new products – birth announcement magnets. Say what?! That’s awesome!
Each birth announcement magnet is made with thick, luxe paper with a matte finish and magnetized back. They’re so gorgeous that your friends and family will want to keep these up on their refrigerators all year long!
