We were instant fans of the Vetro Crib ever since it’s inception a some time ago, and just this past September they debuted the matching lucite glider – so chic!

This is definitely a trend that we hope to see get bigger and bigger, so we can use more lucite in our own nursery designs!

One of the brilliant features is a back-and-forth rocking movement, instead of the side-to-side motion that most cradles have.  Some research supports this idea that the forward and back motion is more soothing to a baby.

The material?  Baltic Birch with Walnut or White finish.  So chic and classic.  It even comes in double size for twins!

We’re looking forward to a chance to get our hands on one of these beautiful cradles for an upcoming nursery design project!

The starting point for this boy’s train theme bedroom was an idea we had to use actual wooden train tracks as chair rail style molding.

Throughout the room we placed train-theme elements, such as these beautiful chrome table lamps reminiscent of a train station.

The custom built hard-wood window seat was made to perfectly match the shutters and provide both storage and a fun place for the family to enjoy their space.

We finished off the room by adding custom towels and cute bath accessories to the attached bathroom.  Our goal was to create a fun and functional room for this train-lovin’ guy – mission accomplished.

Young Versace Boutique in Milan, Italy

It’s hard to even see the clothes in the photos of this amazing boutique because the interior design is so bold.  The style boasts a chic monochromatic lilac color scheme, contrast moulding, greek key patterned carpet, carousel seats, and giant candy canes – a paradise for a little princess, even if she can’t touch anything.

So if you happen to have a trip to Italy planned, you might think about taking in some eye candy at Young Versace.

Tea Cup Stool by Holly Palmer

Made in the UK by designer Holly Palmer, this oversize tea cup can serve as a modern side table, place to sit or even function as a toy in the nursery, playroom or backyard.  It’s constructed of a durable plastic, which means it will stand up to the torments of a toddler.

We completed this gender neutral nursery for a wonderful family in Orange County.  Although the end result may look understated, virtually every element in this room was customized.  The end panels on the crib were made with fabric to match the custom sleeper sofa.  The custom blackout curtain panels, custom crib bedding set, and other textiles including custom sofa pillows were all made from perfectly coordinated fabrics.  We added new little knobs to the dresser, and had a custom rug made to tie the room together beautifully.

Whenever we’re creating a gender neutral nursery, we always try to leave space for some special items that can be added after the baby arrives.  In this case, the custom monogram over the crib was made extra special by creating a unique wood molding shape around the block letters.  Not long after we completed the nursery, this Orange County homeowner welcomed a healthy beautiful baby girl.

The beautiful residential photography was done by our friend, the extremely talented David Casas of Full Spectrum Photography in Orange County.  We hope you enjoyed this last look at our “Eclectic Gender Neutral Nursery”, and stay tuned for a brand new room on our website soon!

For starters, this amazing ikat rug is in our warehouse just waiting to be installed in a modern children’s room we’re working on.  We cannot wait to finish and photograph this project – it’s going to be spectacular!

Another fun item we recently received is this downright amazing clock.  Laser cut from a record by an extremely talented artist in Estonia, this beautiful piece is going into the home of one of our Los Angeles natives.  If you look closely, each cut-out represents one of Los Angeles’ landmarks.  Santa Monica, Hollywood, LAX and more – this fun little find will be a great way to teach little Angelenos about their home.
