Nurseryworks Uptown Crib

If your mid-century style is more Jansen than Eames, the Nurserywork Uptown crib may be for you. The $1500 crib was designed by Tamara Honey of the House of Honey.

Baby suommo

Baby Suommo is a new, luxe line of baby furniture. Think mod, pieces in a shiny white varnish with silk linings. But the pieces are more than just shiny, they are designed with child safety in mind. All the beds have hypoallergenic and antibacterial mattresses, and multidirectional wheels. The lines showpiece, the Grand Sonno converts from a crib to a desk, a bed, and some shelves. Heck, I would even change diapers on the end of that thing.

Baby Suommo is very expensive though. Prices range from 1790- 3496€.

Jonathan Adler Junior

Jonathan Adler has created pint sized versions of some of his most popular pieces. First shown at the New York International Gift Fair,the collection currently features a sofa, the Lampert,  and two chairs, the Templeton and the Addison. You can choose from most of the fabrics in Adler's collection or use your own fabric. Unfortunately, while the seating is pint sized the prices are not. Your sofa may have been cheaper. The chairs start at $995 and the sofa at $1750. And the prices peak at $3750 (More if you use your own fabric.)

So if your little girl loved Adler's real life Barbie's Dream House, you can create a mini version.

Affordable Fixed Rail Crib

Crib recalls always seem to involve dropside cribs, but fixed rail cribs tend to be rather expensive. So I decided to look for an affordable yet safe crib. One of the best I have seen is the Graco Shelby crib (And it has a ton of good reviews.) This crib looks good from all angles so it can be placed in the center of the room. But the best part is that there are no moving parts so you will have one less thing to worry about. And it is available at most big box stores, and everywhere online.

Here is another cool find from Kids Love Design. BE is a line of nursery furniture designed to last beyond infancy. The bassinet converts into a play table, the crib converts into a full-sized desk, and the chest of drawers is modular so that you get to decide how tall it will be and if it will be a changing table.

Made of lacquered MDF and steel, the collection comes has a very clean modern look. Prices range from 132-642€, and Kids Love Design will ship worldwide.

Voyage Bassinet

The Voyage Bassinet by Kenneth Cobonpue has all of the features of his high end rattan furniture.This isn't the stuff you buy at your garden center. The rattan used to make the cradle is hand tied around a steel frame with transparent nylon filament. It comes with a white mattress and pink bedding. And the whole thing can be removed from the base and moved about the house.


Of course this Philippine beauty isn't cheap. It costs a whooping 869€.

Extravagant Father's Day Gifts

This would be a fantastic way to store a kid's books and toys. The carts can be purchased in colors to match your decor. But be careful, I used to work in a library. Filled with books, a book cart weighs a ton. $353

Convertible High Chair circa 1900

Convertible high chairs are nothing new. This chair from the early twentieth century converts from a rocker, to a high chair, to a child's chair. And it has survived over a hundred years. Somebody should buy it, the chair is on sale for $575.



Sorry about the blurry screen capture. I have no idea where I messed it up.

Lil Tree Sectional

Lil Tree has created a perfectly miniaturized version of the classic leather sectional sofa, except that it isn't leather. The sofa is made of easy to care for vinyl. Imagine how cute it would be in the corner of a playroom. $1100

Pottery Barn Kids Playhouse Loft Bed

The Pottery Barn Playhouse Loft Bed is the perfect solution for a child with limited play space in her room. Add some furniture, curtains in the window, and a flower box with fabric flowers and you have the lovely playhouse. And since the bed is on sale for $999.99 it may actually cost less than a real wooden playhouse.

Louis by Netto Collection

The Netto Collection showed a couple of new pieces in what I like to call the modernist traditional style. The pieces are his Louis crib and changing table. They each have very traditional shapes updated in David Netto's signature white lacquer with oak.

I think designers are starting to realize that not every parent wants a nursery with plain straight lines. There are only so many ways to design the crib as a plain box.
