Have a very happy weekend!

Getting Creative with Camels

2012-05-25T15:34:25Z

There’s something so special and unique about the artwork over Frances’ crib, which was featured on Apartment Therapy several years ago. It’s getting some fresh attention thanks to Pinterest, and if you haven’t seen it, it’s worth a look. The purple camel jumped out at me right away and makes this space, which is full of modern nursery classics, a complete original.

I also found this glorious photo on Pinterest. Carmel the camel has a special place in the sun on One Claire Day.

These camels look so fun and represent exotic adventure and travel. If you’re looking to add a little of that into your own nursery, I came up with a few suggestions…

1- Bazaar Camel Pillow from Thomas Paul- $120
2- Camel Bank from Kooroo- $34
3- Camel Pillow from Rikshaw Design- $80 ($60 on sale)
4- Camels from Stola Design- $20
5- Camel Artwork from Coral & Tusk- $74 (framed)
6- Camel Bookends from Knob Creek Metal Arts- $45
7- Camel Eco Square Pouf from Zid Zid Kids- $78
8- Hucky Dangling Camel from Steiff- $85

New Addition: The Cradle by Kåre Frandsen

2012-05-24T15:18:43Z

The Cradle by Kåre Frandsen is a gorgeous space age pod style cradle or bassinet.

You can get this beauty at babygeared for $3000 plus $200 to ship it. I sure hope it includes all the conversion parts in the price. This is BY FAR the most expensive bassinet on our list.

ABCs and 123s from Tambino: Fun Furnishings for the Little Ones

2012-05-23T22:10:29Z

I’m delinquent blogging about Tambino, but a couple of their newest products ensured that I could no longer keep this brand to myself.

As soon as I spotted their amazing new Typographic Easel, I had to let you take a look. The easel is shown here with the Typographic “H” Chair and the Typographic “K” chair. Oh, the letter A as an easel. How perfect.

Then there’s this brand new little beauty. The Pickup (Your Toys) Truck is part toy chest and part kid’s desk. Fun and function all in one. Make room in your playrooms. I adore it!

These number tables are unlike any others. They’re the ones I’ve been long overdue showing you. Pick an oversized 2, 3, 5 or 6 table. There’s also an 8 Activity Table (not shown). They all have numbers for legs as well. How cool would it be if your preschool used tables like these?!

You can also enjoy the numbers in a smaller stepstool form. The 2 and 4 Stepstools are available in a variety of colors.

Tambino has also been getting some attention for their use of the number 5 as a Toddler Table Stand!

At this point, can you imagine how excited Count Von Count is getting?

And if you want to go really batty with Tambino, check out their modular cushion sets like this starfish.

I’ve shown you MUCH of what Tambino offers, but to see it all, I invite you to visit their site and take a look at the rest. If you’re ready to buy, feel free to use my affiliate link and visit their Amazon Shop.

New Addition: Woody Rocking Horse From Prince Lionheart

2012-05-22T17:51:02Z

I love rocking horses. They do double duty as toy and decor. Modern rocking horses pay homage to traditional nursery toys while updating them to fit in our present day aesthetic. I think the Woody Rocking Horse from Prince Lionheart does exactly that. It’s our newest addition to the toy guide at BuyModernToys (just scroll down the list to see all my recommended rocking horses).

These retail for about $80 but you can get your own Woody Rocking Horse from our amazon affiliate for just under $57.

For my full rocking horse gallery, see my Rocking Toys – Horses and More Pinterest board. Let me know which is your favorite!

Etsy Find: Circus Stroller Quilt

2012-05-22T03:16:11Z

I love this Circus Stroller Quilt from Treefall Design. I loved the orange version (shown below) even more but of course, it’s already been sold! Hurry and pick this one up for $55.

Coming Soon: The Devon Collection from Newport Cottages

2012-05-21T16:59:31Z

I’ve had the Cody Crib from Newport cottages on my modern crib guide for several years now, but I’m excited that they will soon be adding a second style that deserves a spot on the list! The simple clean lines of the Devon Crib can be used in any style room, and with 28 color choices (including the persimmon color shown here), you can achieve just the look you’re going for.

The crib is set to retail for $945, the dresser for $945 and the bookcase for $745. You can contact info@newportcottages.com if you are interested for now.

Kooroo Ceramic Animal Banks

2012-05-18T16:44:18Z

There’s no question that a “piggy” bank is a wonderful gift for a new baby. It’s a great decor piece, can become a sentimental heirloom and it’s useful in the meantime. If you’re looking for the perfect bank to give as a gift, take a look at the ceramic animal banks from Kooroo. These limited edition pieces are crafted in the US and are little works of art. Prices range from $34 to $50

Their newer series of Mocha and Cream banks are $32.

In addition to the Lion and Elephants, they have Rhinos, Buffalo and Camels. I’ll be looking forward to their future creations as well.

Coming Soon: Bloom’s Coco Go

2012-05-17T15:18:22Z

Bloom used to just have a few special modern baby products but their line has been growing slowly but steadily over the past few years and now they’ve got a rather thorough collection that includes nursery furniture, high chairs and more. Now they’re introducing a portable fold-able version of their incredible Coco lounger. The Coco Go is a 3-in-1 lounger and baby seat. It also folds flat into a custom carry-bag for travel.

More information to follow including release date and price. I can’t wait to add it to our list of baby loungers!
