Along with decking the halls, we hope to finally redo the walls in my son's bedroom, but given that it has taken years for us to get around to this project, there will be no painted murals of his favorite cartoon characters. Instead, I'm…
In the little pile of clothes that we're saving for when our kids are grown and we're wanting to look back and remember how tiny they were, I can guarantee you there will be many, many things from Tea Collection. I've been a big fan of t…
I'd always kind of held the opinion that if I'd seen one wall decal, I'd seen them all. That is, until Pop & Lolli wall decals came my way. And then I pretty much decided that I didn't need to see any others. Ever again. These gorgeous (…
I have one word for this time of year and it's not nice. Stores are featuring spring clothes and outdoor toys, but outside my front door there are still the last vestiges of frozen snow, and I'm sure it's not the last of it for the seaso…
I love the idea of leaving sweet little notes for my son and husband on a daily basis. You know, like: You're perfect; I love you ; and Put your dirty socks in the hamper . Which is why this Chalkboard Heart from Wall Candy Arts is the p…
We're kind of in love with Joanne Dugan around here. She's an amazingly prolific photographer, with her work in about a zillion ads, the awesome Taxi Driver Wisdom book, and most importantly to us, a magical series of children's books: A…
Wall decals are an easy way of giving a room a whole new look. And coming from those of us who have pretty much seen all the decals out there, we can safely say that the wall decals at the brand new Etsy shop, LittleLion Studio are a cut…

By the time my husband and I agree on a paint color, I'm pretty sure we'll be ready to move out of this house. So instead of waiting until we find the perfect shade of green for our bedroom, I'm taking the bull by the horns and investing…
I remember vividly the first time I played Atari. The angels sang in a joyous chorus (in my head) as I spent the next two hours rotating a dial to move a single white line up and down the screen as a square ball bounced back and forth. P…
Mirror, mirror on the wall...move over. We need the wall space , because there's a new princess in town. And something tells me she's not going to be running away from a wicked witch any time soon, because she looks pretty self-reliant, …
If you've been in the cool kids boutiques, on the design blogs, or heck, on our site lately, you'd know that banners are a hot new nursery trend. And the freethinking coolies at Blik agree. We've covered these hip, do-it-awesome-yourself…
It's getting Autumnal all up in here! Fall is my favorite time of year because I love to wear jeans, sweaters and boots. I love chocolaty browns and ochre yellows and dark pumpkin colors. The latter two don't look very good on me, but I …
When products claim to make your newborn baby smarter, I can't help to be skeptical. Sure, I want the best for my kids but part of me wonders whether I really need a bunch of special educational toys and other gear to give them the upper…

When it comes to kid's room decor, I never considered bugs and small crawly critters as a theme, mostly because aside from a few cute ladybugs, I've yet to see too many designers do something wall worthy with beetles, grasshoppers, or fr…
I love the idea of a growth chart, but I'd never found any that appealed to my decor sensibilities, which are admittedly a bit quirky. Then I got a peek at the Dust Bunnies height chart from UK graphic wall art shop Spin Collective , whi…
