Tulip Pendant

by Rachel Hagen on February 25th, 2010

Oh I love these! I’m not sure how much light gets through with a felt shade.  I wonder if these are too feminine for a boy’s room.  they can be interpreted as whimsical right?

Safari Wall Set

by Rachel Hagen on February 8th, 2010

Somehow I’m pulled toward African/Safari things for our little boy’s nursery. For instance, I found this cool vintage, pull down map on craigslist.  And then while browsing Wisteria, found this beautiful set of prints.  While traveling in Thailand, I got a painting of a mother elephant with a baby elephant that I would someday use in my child’s nursery…never thinking that day would be four years later.  I’m trying to stay away from a themey nursery since 1. I’m not really into that sort of thing and 2. it will be our guest room as well.  I’m trying to go for a colorful, eclectic look that he can grow into.  I’m starting to get to the panicky stage (only 24 weeks), and feel like the only preparation I’ve done for this child is read books. No crib, no changing table, no stroller.  Is it normal to feel like I need to do so much so early?

I’d never buy these prints due to their price tag, but aren’t they pretty?

Minni Mick

by Rachel Hagen on November 23rd, 2009

Another reason Mick would want a boy…

I’m not a big fan of the bright, puffy sneakers Mick wears.  But I’ll admit, these are just too cute.  I guess if you make anything miniature it’s cute.  These are by Stella McCartney for GAP kids.  Isn’t the line adorable?!

Bukubuku

by Rachel Hagen on June 22nd, 2009

L’Affiche has great finds. There’s nothing like modern children’s French art.

From their website: “Spanish illustrator Bukubuku presents a cute and colourful art print in French. Here, all is full of life and joy, and it’s absolutely natural that raindrops, tomatoes, slices of quiche and hamsters are all merrily giving us broad smiles!”

Have a client looking for bedding for her teenage daughter.  Maybe because it’s been since high school that I shopped there, but I had no clue Delias had bedding.  It’s pretty fun too.

Mae

by Rachel Hagen on May 20th, 2009

Reusable, washable, scrunchable…what else? These FABRIC wall decals from Mae are awesome!  Love the coordinating fabrics.  And I love how kid-friendly they are.  Have the kids help decorate thier wall.  And when they (you) don’t like it, simply peal it off and no residue will follow.

I’ve never been a a ruffles and bows type of girl.  But with these I am.  So cute. The denim helps lessen the girl-girl look.

I love Serena and Lily. I’ve blogged about them before, and every night I dream about cuddling up in the Tess Collection.  Unfortunatly my brown duvet will have to do.  But I also fell in love Posey Collection for a girl’s nursery.  So fun.

Sarah is an seven year-old daughter of a client.  Apple Green, with pink and polka dots was what the mother wanted.  Sarah wanted something… “fun.”  I had so much fun putting together this room.

You Sew Sassy has definitely figured out our (or is it just mine?) Etsy, Crafty mentality: thinking I can sew anything.  Especially when I see all these fun things on Etsy.  From their site: “We’ve chosen coordinating designer fabrics, cut out the pattern pieces, and provided a set of simple instructions for a dress no one will believe is homemade.”  Here’s their Ellie Dress.  I love this idea! Almost all their patterns are for the beginner sewer.
