Oval Wall Mobile

Lisa Estall — Fri, 29 May 2009 23:30:00 GMT

I really dig this modern mobile. Called the Oras Oval Wall Mobile in Uoga, it’s hand made from foam and strung with nylon-coated steel wire...

and beads. Found at the wallstickershop.com, it’s a pricey $148.

This would be cool in a nursery, but would it hold a baby's attention?

In the Nursery: Rainbow Clock

elizabeth leach — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 19:00:00 GMT

Chroma Lab is a fantastic store on Supermarket, a site, like Etsy, where you can purchase work directly from the artist. I love Chroma's clocks. In a variety of fun patterns and bold colors, you can find one that works perfectly in your nursery, play room, family room, kitchen or wherever.

The Rainbow Rings Clock (above photo) is $75. The Red Flower Clock (below photo) is $70.

(Thanks, ohdeedoh!)

These modern lamps are handmade by artist, Amy Adams. Each lamp is 5" in diameter and can be ordered as a cord and switch or with a dome for hardwiring into your ceiling. Looking for an even bigger statement? Lamps can also be ordered as a chandelier with six lamps, each with a different letter. Lamp uses a 60 watt bulb.

In the Nursery: Slime Walls

elizabeth leach — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 18:00:00 GMT

Slime Walls, designed by Mark Giglio, would look fantastic in a playroom or nursery. (Maybe on just one wall?) The pattern is silk screened on recycled paper using water-based inks. Available in green or gray.

In the Nursery: Animal Baskets

elizabeth leach — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 14:00:00 GMT

Animal Baskets are so retro chic! These handmade rattan baskets are perfect for books, balls, towels, toys, or perhaps your child will use it as a toy itself. They would also be really cute in the bathroom, by the pool or on the porch. Choose from a whale, turtle and fish. Available in white and natural.

Unfortunately, these baskets don't come cheap so I'll let you know when they go on sale! Fish and Whale Baskets are each $119. Turtle Baskets are $79 for the small and $119 for the large. Find them at Pottery Barn Kids.

In the Nursery: Organic Giraffe Bedding

elizabeth leach — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 17:00:00 GMT

I saw the above crib bedding in person and was really impressed. The pattern is so fresh and charming. The giraffes are hand painted and the coordinating crib skirt is white with pink flowers and grey vines. A bumper, fitted sheet, crib skirt, sham and quilt are available in this collection. For boys, there is a similar version in blue with zebras.

Made from super soft, organic cotton. Find the pink G is for Giraffe bedding and blue Z is for Zebra bedding at Pottery Barn Kids.

Tidy Up the Lily Pad

Heather Kuldell — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 22:32:00 GMT

The more tadpoles in the pond, the more you think about upgrading to a lake. Baby baubles, toddler toys and kid clutter are hard to keep orderly, particularly in small places. Take advantage of wall space with the Roebuck Studios Frog Cabinet, which can be mounted at any height. Frogs cap both ends of the kid-friendly cabinet, and lily pad cut-outs serve as door handles. Made of sturdy birch wood, the cabinet features rounded edges for safety and an adjustable interior shelf.

Available at Modern Nursery for $499 in multiple colors. Assembly required.

In the Nursery: Loving these Colors!

elizabeth leach — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 14:00:00 GMT

A pink, orange, green and blue flowered quilt and matching bumper is perfect for spring. And they happen to be on sale!

The coordinating fitted sheet is no longer available, but don't let that stop you. Pair the bumper with a solid pink or green sheet and crib skirt and you've got yourself a cheerful, contemporary bedding set that's also a great deal.

The bumper is now $29.99 and the quilt is $44.95. The Andi Nursery Bedding is at Pottery Barn Kids.

In the Nursery: We Love Cloudy Days

elizabeth leach — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 16:00:00 GMT

Find the Cloud Shelf at Modern Dose for $54.

In the Nursery: Modern Crib Set at Walmart

In the Nursery: Rugs from Room and Board

elizabeth leach — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 20:30:00 GMT

Room and Board has a fantastic selection of rugs that can be used in the nursery. I am so impressed by the colors on their Henley, flat weaved rugs. Available in three color combinations: chocolate, olive and putty.

Perhaps this wouldn't be the best rug for crawlers since it's a flat weave and not tufted, but it is very durable. It would be great in a play room. Made from 100% wool and affordably priced at $299 for a 5 x 8 rug.

In The Nursery: Colorful Mason Dresser and Nightstand

Lisa Estall — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 19:27:00 GMT

This Mason Dresser and Nightstand would brighten up any nursery or bedroom.

With six drawers to fill up there’s plenty of room to store clothes and other items. There’s also a cubby in the back...

that accommodates a power strip. Kids can easily open the drawers by grasping the keyholes. I think that's a good feature for children who want to pick out their clothes for the day. This is made of sustainable birch wood.

Price is $499 and sold at Pottery Barn Kids.
