Nurseries and kids’ rooms are so much fun to decorate that I almost wish we’d have another baby just so I’d have a nursery to decorate. Yes. It really is that serious 
You can get away with whimsical design elements and themes in kids’ room that might not be appropriate in adult spaces (though I’m just adventurous enough to try them anyway). This organic, polka dotted bedding from the Land of Nod is playful enough for a little girl or boy, but it also could work for a teenager or even in a guest room. The patterns are fun, but because they are tone-on-tone in deep shades pink and blue, they’re more sophisticated than something of the the baby blue or powder pink variety. :: READ THE FULL POST

There are probably very few people who shop online and don’t know about Gilt Groupe. It is an online-only retailer that offers typically high-end products for seriously reduced prices, but only for a limited time. The sales typically last 24-96 hours, so if you see something you need (not want), you need to act fast. This is one of the cases when Gilt Groupe is not just offering eco-friendly products, but products that could really help anyone setting up a nursery or a room for a child do so for a significantly reduced cost. :: READ THE FULL POST

I have spent months with baby fever, in part because so many of my blogging friends recently had or are having babies and I wanted to remember what it felt like again. Sending my daughter off to kindergarten only multiplied that effect, although I wonder how wise it is to wish for an infant now that the house is finally quiet in the daytime…lol. Still, I find myself intrigued by all things baby, so these deals definitely caught my attention. First up is the gorgeous bedding set by Ferm Living shown above. It is crib sized, but most experts do not recommend putting a duvet in a crib with a sleeping infant, so it would probably best be used on a toddler bed. It comes with a pillow case and duvet in a matching storage bag. :: READ THE FULL POST

West Elm has a knack for creating bedding designs that make me seriously consider redecorating my entire bedroom around them. Of course, there’s only so much redecorating my husband can stand. But don’t these photos make you feel the same way? Maybe it’s the moody, effortless way some of the rooms are styled, but they have a way of making me feel like curling up in bed for the rest of the day. Sort of like the way you feel on a rainy day, but in a good way.

I will completely admit that I have a hard time decorating with traditional neutrals: white, off white, beige, ecru…whatever you want to call it. I’ve seen so many homes and rooms with almost-white walls and very light, neutral furnishings that I love. But I have a hard time creating that kind of look myself. What I’ve learned is to make neutrals work, you have to add texture and elements of interest, even if they aren’t colorful. This bedding is a great example of a neutral textile that is still very interesting. :: READ THE FULL POST
