Two-Infant Bunkie: Cool or Kooky?

March 28, 2012

Parents of multiples often complain about the lack of space in their babies’ nursery — and who can blame them? No matter how big your room is, after placing two cribs inside, there isn’t space for much else. You could opt for one crib for two babies to share (like this twin nursery) or you could look into this piece that’s attempting to cater to the spatial challenges of parents of multiples (spotted on Apartment Therapy).

It’s a Two-Infant Bunkie ($919, including two Simmons mattresses), designed to accommodate two infants up to 18 months old.

Sure, it’s a space saver but is it safe?

We want to know what you think. Leave a comment and let us know… Cool or Kooky?

Vegas Kids: Las Vegas Market 2011

September 8, 2011

I was recently in Las Vegas checking out the the hottest trends in home decor at the Las Vegas Market — a biannual furniture trade show — and I’m excited to share with you my finds, my trends and my trip!

We’re starting today with my favorite finds from Vegas Kids.

Clockwise starting with top left:

Stork Craft: An industry leader in design, manufacturing and distribution of juvenile products, Stork Craft had a huge showroom at LVM — and I was drooling all over the Envy* nursery furniture collection! It’s modern design, with subtle curves, makes this collection extra appealing to adult design sensibilities.
Bolton Furniture: Offering the best possible value in kids furniture, sleep, study, storage and entertainment wall solutions, Bolton Furniture caught my eye the minute I walked into the Vegas Kids showroom. My favorite find was definitely the loft bed — great for small spaces with you can tuck the dresser under the bed (like in the image above) or use that space for a fort-like play area. You can also customize your loft bed with a slide! Who wouldn’t want to get out of bed in the morning when you can slide down?
Jekca: The most innovative find of the show! A fusion of toy and living, Jekca created a set of innovative building blocks for kids that not only helps them sharpen their creativity, problem solving skills, spatial skills and mathematical ability, but they can also feel the satisfaction of actually building something functional. And their innovative design allows parents to lock the pieces in place so there’s no need to worry about anything falling apart while in use.
Mauricio’s Furniture: I’ll tell you right now that I literally lost it when I saw this leopard print heel-shaped piece at the Vegas Kids showroom — perfect for a little fashionista in training!

That’s it for today but more Las Vegas Market finds are coming soon. I’ve got rugs, lamps and much more to share with you. Stay tuned.

Thanks for stopping by!

As the proud owner of a Stokke Xplory and a Tripp Trapp (for over 2 years now), I can honestly say that I LOVE Stokke from a quality standpoint and a design standpoint. Would love it if you would consider helping me shower my readers with some love (i.e. free stuff!!!)?

stokke xplory tripp trapp I truly am a proud and happy owner of some wonderful Stokke products. I can vouch for their quality and functionality. We chose Stokke for their modern design, functionality and adaptability.

Stokke also offers the Stokke Sleepi, a narrow oval crib designed to create a nest-like environment. The Stokke Sleepi expands to accommodate a growing family’s needs from newborn to junior and beyond.

Designer Spotlight: ubabub {modern nursery furniture}

December 7, 2010

Remember when I told you how much I was loving Australians?

Well, my love for them just got a whole lot bigger!

Let me introduce you to ubabub …

scandinabian inspired nursery

ubabub is the brain child of 2 Aussie parents, Natasha and Daniel Dumais, who couldn’t find nursery furniture to suit their modern design style.

The sides of the Cot and Nifty are made of acrylic “evolving the look of traditional cot sides to enhance visibility and safety.”*

Unfortunately, ubabub is not yet available in the USA.
