Many of my clients are welcoming babies into the world shortly…Exciting! As a result, I thought I would share some of my favorite online sources for modern and sustainable baby furniture and accessories for those who are expecting. Luckily, there are a lot more options for design-savvy parents nowadays.
I’ve been a fan of Petit Collage since spotting their booth at the Renegade Craft Fair. How cute is that mobile??

Jungle Friends Mobile, $68. Made from sustainable bamboo.
Zac & Zoe offer a great selection of modern baby accessories, from furniture to creative toys and decor. Best of all, many of their products are made from sustainable materials. Go green babies!

Cariboo Classic Bassinet, $425. Made from sustainable wood. Shown in Teak finish.
2Modern carries tons of modern baby lines such as Offi, Oeuf, and Boodalee. They also carry Argington — a Green line of kid’s furniture made of Baltic Birch that is finished with a non-toxic, ecologically friendly clear coat.

Oeuf Robin Crib, $565. Sustainable wood and painted in 100% natural, water-based paint.

Oilo Penelope Glider, $1,299. Faux-leather is easily cleaned. Finally, a stylish glider!

I just came across this photo I snapped at DIFFA’s (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) Dining by Design event in November. I loved this room as a whole, but especially the clever idea of updating antique dining chairs with plastic seats and chair backs instead of the standard of reupholstering. The curves of the chair really stand out…So smart!

Wallpaper is back…without the small florals and pastel colors. Thankfully there are loads of graphic, bold prints to choose from these days. My favorite source is Osborne & Little, a British company carrying stylish patterns in papers and fabrics.
Installation day 2 tackled the powder room and a teenage girl’s bedroom.

The subtle metallic sheen makes for a sophisticated statement.

Kravet Pattern #3013 adds a girly touch with a hint of rock and roll.
