Modern babies

I recently took a stroll through the baby/kid section in search of a gift and suddenly realized I was in a sea of adorable and good looking color palettes and patterns. When did kids clothing, furniture and toys get so incredibly cute {and costly!}? I just love the idea of creating a space for a little one with adult friendly decor, who says a baby can't appreciate a good chevron? I just love this first image, and you can bet when the time comes for little ones around here, there will be bunting and bright colors. Oh yes.

And who doesn't love an adorable kid pic? I just love suspenders, add in a few accessories and a cute model and you have yourself some stylish kids.

Creative Thursday.... on a Tuesday

Late last night, an old friend from high school had a darling baby girl and its got me oh-ing and ah-ing over all things baby.  I came across Creative Thursday through twitter and fell in love with artist Marisa Haedike's adorable animal prints.  Wouldn't they just be perfect in a nursery or toddlers room?  With the use of negative space, each piece has a kid like inspiration but are still likable by adults, and can we talk about the color combinations!  I am loving that blue "Imaginary friend" print.  And do stop by Marisa's blog for even more adorable-ness and lovely inspiration.

Kiddie friendly

It seems all my friends are having babies these days, seriously, I can count 7 off the top of my head.  After getting a 3D sonogram texted to me with an old friends little girl, I had babies on the brain.  So off I was scouring over little goodies to fill rooms, and these prints and pillows from Kate Durkin would fit in perfectly with any children decor.  Although after seeing the custom giant whale and owl she did on her blog, I might just have to get one for me.
