One Crib, Two Ways: Babyletto Hudson

May 23, 2013

PLAYROOM-BLOG_white-hudson-two-waysWe LOVE to see how families style their nurseries; the same crib can feel completely different based on the surrounding element. We think our ever-popular Babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 Convertible Crib fits in to pretty much any space and these two nurseries definitely prove it! On the left, Alexis’s nursery features bold teal walls and pops of lime while Zoe James’ nursery on the left takes a much softer approach with neutral colors and geometric patterns.

Tell us: which do you prefer? Alexis’ Nursery or Zoe James’ Nursery?

Nurseries We Love: Molly Mesnick’s Nursery

May 10, 2013

PLAYROOM-BLOG_mesnick-nurseryPLAYROOM-BLOG_mesnick-nursery02PLAYROOM-BLOG_mesnick-nursery03Featured recently in lilsugar, we’re head over heels for Bachelor winner Molly Mesnick’s Nursery. Adorned in gender-neutral hues of cream, grey, taupe, and white, we love the mix of textures and patterns packed into this sweet room. While baby Riley Anne is obviously the star of this show, we can’t help but love the look of our Nursery Works Empire Rocker sitting sweetly in the corner. We hope it helps soothe baby Riley to sleep before many a nap! Designed by fellow Bachelor-franchise friend Jillian Harris, the complete piece on Molly’s nursery here.

Nursery Style: The Gatsby Nursery

May 9, 2013

PLAYROOM-BLOG_gatsbyInspired by everyone’s favorite new Baz Luhrmann flick (which comes out TODAY), we’ve pulled together a modern Gatsby-esque nursery centered around our Nursery Works Uptown Crib. From the images we’ve seen of the film so far, the lush interiors, flowing fabrics, and jewel-encrusted everything have us positively swooning. Here’s the skinny on this East Egg-inspired moodboard…

Nurseries We Love: Simone Harouche’s Nursery

May 1, 2013

PLAYROOM-BLOG_simone-harouche-nursery

PLAYROOM-BLOG_simone-harouche-nursery02PLAYROOM-BLOG_simone-harouche-nursery003Featured in the inaugural edition of Domaine Home, the nursery of super-stylist Simone Harouche is our latest obsession. We love the mixing and matching of materials, textures, and prints…wouldn’t this be an amazing space to grow up in? We’re also pretty charmed by Simone’s approach to nursery styling; instead of succumbing to more traditional nursery elements, she embraced her own style and ran with it! Although we love that amazing mural (by Alexandra Fisher and Kevin Johnson of clamdiggin), our favorite piece in the nursery is our very own Nursery Works Sleepytime Rocker (covered in a custom print). Traditionally offered in Ecru, Mocha, and Slate, the Sleepytime looks even more fab in gussied up duds! To read the whole piece on Simone’s home, visit Domaine Home here.

A Good Thing: Mama Bling

Apr 30, 2013

MAMA-BLING

Looking for an easy way to spoil your Mama this Mother’s Day? Drench her neck in baubles of affection! Remind her of the macaroni charms of yore with gilded updates that will add a sparkle to her step. No gift is too big for Mama, right? The good thing about Mothers is also that no gift is too small as long as it comes from heart; no matter what you do for your Mom in celebration of Mother’s Day, make sure it’s as special as she is!
