Sweet Dreamy Bed

Wow, I love the new Perch Bunk Bed from Oeuf.  So simple and elegant...beautiful design.  You can also remove the bottom bunk and use it as a stand alone bed.  I really like that it isn't over-designed and heavy like a lot of bunk beds on the market.  A great option for getting more bang for you spatial buck!  Have a look here.

New and Neato

I'm a big fan of David Netto's Louis nursery collection.  Inspired by 18th century France, the new line is a modern take on old fashioned furniture.  A very cool choice for very cool parents.  Check it out at Giggle.

New and Awesome in Chicago

The best new thing in Chicago is the new Galt Baby store in Lincoln Park!  It's a warehouse style store with all the fabulous things you could ever want!  They have a huge selection of strollers with plenty of room to tool around and try them out.  They've got car seats, high chairs, cribs, and all the wonderful lovely baby essentials you could ever want.  And of course, toys!  It's the best place to go for all the best.  Here are a few more shots, just to give you a better idea.  For more info, check out the Galt website. 

 

Dining in Style

The Wild Man just got some new furniture!  The fabulous Alma Chairs and Linus Table from Magis.  A gift from Grandma and Grandpa, we got the whole set in white.....and it sure looks good!  They're designed by iconic Spanish designer, Javier Mariscal.  The chairs are very lightweight and easy for Theo to maneuver and use.  The table is heavier and stable.  I love the whimsical treetop design on the back of the chairs too!  We got them from All Modern Baby.

Oddly Ornate Seating

I do love Marcel Wanders' Parent Chairs and Table.  They are ornate and clunky at the same time.  I love the fat legs that look like they've been hand spun on a lathe.  Yet the set is made of polypropelene.  Love that it's black too.  They say every room should have something black in it.....so this might be just the thing to punch up your nursery.  Something to think about for the wild man!  Available at Matter.

Stylin' Storage

 

I recently discovered and ordered these awesome storage boxes designed by Lego for Iris.  They just arrived and they did not disappoint.  I was expecting them to come with lids, but instead the handles fold inward to support the box above.  They look really good in the Wild Man's room and they're great for throwing toys in.  The wheels are very handy too.  And of course, I love the faces!  They come in a set of four at Organize.com.

Rockin' Baby Bed

Nothing like a new baby product to get me thinking about number 2!  Ok, not quite yet, but isn't this a beautiful concept.? I actually think the Wild Man might have liked this as a baby.  He was super colicy and liked the movement of the sling.  Maybe this would have had a similar feel.  And besides, it's just lovely to have around!  I love the door mount idea but you can also install it on a wall.  It's portable and practical.  It's called Mawok and it's made by Swedish company Mony Inc.  Order online at the Mawok website.

Foamtastic

The perfect table and chair set for the Wild Man?  I'm thinking about it......boy do I love Offi's Eva Foam furniture.  To complete the set (of course I want the COMPLETE set) you can buy the table, 2 chairs, and 2 stools.  It's light yet super strong (each piece can hold 300 lb.!) and easy to stack.  I think this looks like loads of fun....not just for sitting at the table, but for building and climbing around.  If you are an Eebee fan, you will have seen these stools throughout all the videos.  They come in blue/green and orange/red and they're available at many different online retailers. 

Fun Foam Furniture (and Toy)

I really like the Bobles Elephant....a clever chair/ rocker/ toy.  I especially love the ingenious design which allows it to look like an elephant when right side up and like a smiling face when turned upside down.  It comes in six fabulous color options and the product line also includes seven other animal toys.  I am also a fan of this high density foam for kids furniture....very strong yet light and easy to move around.  Order online from Brooklyn's Mini Jake.....and peruse their other awesome products while your at it!

 

Nice Crib, Nice Color

Exclusively at Giggle, the Alma crib is pretty awesome!  It's smaller than a normal crib but still big enough for up to 24 months.  It also easily folds up for easy storage.  I love the color and the minimalist look (it also comes in white).....I look forward to seeing it in person!
