Gender Neutral Nursery

Another cute idea for a gender neutral nursery. I love this crib, and for me to say that, trust me, is a very big deal, as I think they are all ugly. I'm not sure if it's safe but it's really cute. From Grayhood.

Gender Neutral Nursery


Ok, so this is a repost from InspirationResource, but since I now have a proper forum, I wanted to showcase this incredible inspiration for a vintage but modern gender neutral nursery. We are planning our room around this image and have been lucky enough to have a dear friend recreate that poster for us.... this is a placeholder until baby gets here- we haven't actually named the baby "Child P. McCormick," though it's in the running. More to come as we move in and get closer to achieving this look.

Vintage Whites








I have always loved victorian whites- I forced my whole family into them for our wedding a couple years back and I loved the way it looked. I found them at flea markets but if you don't have the time or patience, Belle Heir is a great resource for lovely vintage clothing for babies and kids.

Simple Modern Baby room

This 1970's baby room comes from Giggle's guru David Netto by way of the Museum of Happiness blog. I love it, so simple, not cluttered, not overdone. Ikea has those exact shelves AND has a really similar crib for 79 bucks, which is amazing. My mom is suspicious of the thing. So- a little disclaimer- it may fall apart, be poisonous and come from a child labor camp, but it's very cute.

Baby manifesto


Ok- as my free time shrinks and my interests are mandated into a new focus, I decided to separate the good baby stuff into a new blog so as not to bore my lovely loyal designers who want nothing to do with kids just yet. I totally don't blame you... if you are looking for textiles or graphics and all you see is baby crap you are going to go elsewhere. And, as reluctant as I am to join the ranks of they who become obsessed with whatever their current situation is* I have struggled for the last seven months to find simple cute and cool stuff for babies and kids. I'm sure there are great resources, I have just had a really hard time finding them. So here we go- another way for me to procrastinate putting together a baby registry.


*at least I didn't start a wedding blog, too.
