Disposable Fashion

Cynthia Rowley for Pampers at Target. Coming July 11. I won't lie, they're cute. I wish it was a collaboration with Seventh Generation.

Building blocks

Inspired by Apartment Therapy's Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, this living room features beautiful, quality toys from Community Playthings, makers of fine toys for Montessori schools and other learning centers.

Welcome to the dollhouse.

Other than reading, I can't think of anything better for nurturing imagination than a dollhouse. I loved mine when i was a kid, and I am lucky enough to inherit it for our baby...for those without a mom anxious to empty her basement, check out this amazing Southern Gothic dollhouse kit from Wood Victorian Dollhouse Miniatures.

Eco-shreek

In homage to the environment, I wanted to feature some of the internet's best "green" cribs.

Banner Day

A bit overexposed, but I love these cheerful colorful banner pennants nonetheless-they are so upbeat and fun in a baby's room. From bottom, My lovely friend Lowe's room courtesy of the Selby, bedspread by Urban Outfitters, fiesta inspired banners from Famille Summerbelle, more goodies from Mahar Dry Goods, Citrusy bright garland found on Etsy, stamp cake garland found on Etsy, necklace by Scout Holiday, mini bunting found on oh-dee-doh, banner plates from Etsy.
