    Happy Friday: Modern Nursery Inspiration!

    February 3, 2012 | Posted by Kristen the designer

    Modern Whimsical

    Modern Bright

    Modern Eclectic

    We did a post awhile back dedicated to vintage nurseries, so today we have a follow up all about modern nurseries! I stumbled upon a wonderful site the other day called On To Baby! It is an adorable website featuring all kinds of great tips, information, and gorgeous inspiration for moms from all walks of life. They had an amazing section dedicated solely to nursery decor so I decided to feature a few of their modern nursery shares today – but there are many, many more! All kinds of themes, colors and nursery styles to look through, along with inspiration for showers, birthday parties and everything in between. I also noticed a few NAPCP members featured on their site :) Enjoy!

    Happy Friday everyone!

    My Baby’s Love Letters Giveaway!

    December 12, 2011 | Posted by Alice Park

    My Baby’s Love Letters personalized initials are a typographical meditation on love, relationship, and celebration, and honor the first initial of someone you are mad about. The large initials are filled with line-after-tiny-tight-line of the name of Baby, newlyweds, birth date, wedding date, special song, the word LOVE many times, and/or any secret messages you wish to include. The type makes a tweedy texture that reveals the words upon closer inspection. You almost need a magnifying glass to read it, and it’s a fun exercise to search out all the loving missives inside the letter.

    My Baby’s Love Letters are printed on 8 x 10, 100% recycled cotton archival paper, with letterpress embellishments of a red foil heart or a shining gold star, and are strikingly framed in matte black, flat-faced (no miters) frames. Other icons are available for an additional fee. Please inquire. Perfect gifts for newborns, newlyweds, Bar or Bat Mitzvahs, Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza, Valentine’s Day, weddings, birthdays, birth days, anniversaries, christenings, new homes, girlfriends or just a special something for someone you adore.

    The four-inch matte black frames make My Baby’s Love Letters a striking focal point in any room of the home. In a hallway surrounded by family photos, they are amazing. Two or four of them grouped above a couch are nonpareil. Babies’ famous attraction to black and white images make My Baby’s Love Letters a stare-a-thon for newborns when propped on the changing table.  They are gifts that last for years and years, a cherished reminder of all the endless love coming from you.

    Zida Borcich of Studio Z Mendocino has graciously given our readers a chance to win a loveLOVEloveLOVE frame outlining your child’s initial.  Looking for that perfect Christmas or new baby gift?  Details of winning below:

    Happy Fridays: Paper Wreaths!

    November 11, 2011 | Posted by Kristen the designer

    In the spirit of Fall today’s post is all about a popular new decor item: paper wreaths! They are perfect for all the right reasons: can be reused year after year, cheap to make and create little mess, plus you may already have the materials you need just lying around. They can also easily transition from Fall to Winter and maybe even on into Spring if you are lucky. I have spotlighted a few of my favorite finds below as well as links to a couple of tutorials!

    My absolute favorites are the two on the very bottom! The one on the bottom left is made from painted toilet paper rolls…isn’t that crazy?! The one on the bottom right is made from old sheets of music and is the perfect vintage accent piece for any home. Tutorial one can be found here, and tutorial two here! I have actually made a few based on the second tutorial already, so let me just warn you now…they can be a little addicting :)

    Happy Friday everyone!
