Friday Find: “Hope” Pink Crib for Baby Girl

In an effort to continue to raise awareness about breast cancer this month, today’s Friday Find is the special edition “Hope” Crib by Little Crown Interiors and Newport Cottages Furniture. Not only is this crib beautiful, it’s for a great cause; For every “Hope” Crib sold, Little Crown Interiors and Newport Cottages will make a donation to Breast Cancer Research.
The pink crib gives parents the opportunity to donate to breast cancer research, while providing their baby girl with a customized and bench-crafted crib. Every “Hope” Crib features customizable fabric end panels, to coordinate with various nursery styles and color palettes. Love the crib above {top pix} with pink, blue & white Caden Lane bedding.

To commemorate each donation and serve as a reminder of its purpose, each “Hope” Crib will come with a custom plaque for a personalized sentiment . Whether parents wish to leave a message of love for their little girl, or dedicate the crib in honor of a survivor or loved one lost to breast cancer, the crib will stand as a testament to their dedication  to helping find a cure for this tragic disease.

Your invited to celebrate! Little Crown Interiors and Newport Cottages would like you to join in a  special celebration of the “Hope” Crib: Thursday, October 14, 2010 from 4pm – 7pm at the Newport Cottages Store in Fashion Island, Newport Beach, CA. See the beautiful crib in person, in a nursery setting created by Little Crown Interiors. Items throughout the design will be raffled off, with proceeds to benefit Breast Cancer Research of course.

On another “pink” note, the on-line auction for the Pink Wishbone Project started yesterday… you have until October 28th to make a bid on one of these fabulous, one-of-a-kind chairs.

Friday Find: Sweden’s Barnvänligt

First it was this set of ABC paper cups (made from recycled paper) that caught my eye on Cool Mom Picks. But when I visited Sweden’s Barnvänligt I fell in love with so much more. 

Barnvänligts is a common Swedish word that means “Kid Friendly” and you know I’m a fan  of that. The store features stylish, yet functional and fun products for children aged 0-7 years. Lifestyle stuff for trendy kids – love it! Here’s a small sampling of my favorite products available at Barnvänligt.

If you see something you like, live outside of Europe and would like to make a purchase – send Barnvänligt an email and they will help you!
Happy Shopping, Happy Friday!

Girly, Girl Baby Nursery Rooms

Recently I have had the pleasure of designing a couple of baby nursery rooms for clients. One was for a baby-girl-to-be. Once my new mom-to-be makes her final selections, I will be sure to share with you the inspiration boards. Meanwhile, this girly, girl nursery room post is for her. 

This airy, modern nursery featured in Style at Home was designed by Scott Wilds of The Cross. The cherry blossom wall decal makes a whimsical focal point in the space and really pops up against the ice blue walls. The floral motif is echoed in the area rug, throw blanket and crib pillows. Love the white pouf with hot pink stitching!

Little Crown Interiors created this chic pink nursery. The dramatic back wall is covered in hot pink and silver damask wallpaper. The custom monogram  is flanked by stylish lucite scones ; Both accented by white picture frame molding. A custom monogram embroidered pillow sits in a navy Empire Rocker by Nurseryworks. This nursery just wouldn’t be complete without a dazzling chandelier.

This glamorous lavender girl’s nursery also by Little Crown Interiors was inspired by the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas. The fabric draped ceiling, crystal chandelier and metal crib by Bratt Decor add to the room’s elegance. The custom changing table designed by Little Crown Interiors is as functional as it is beautiful. It features a fold-down changing tray, built-in diaper genie and upholstered door panels with tufted rhinestone buttons. The nursery decor is completed with custom shadow boxes and stretched canvas artwork.

This contemporary, playful green, yellow and turquoise nursery featured on Project Nursery has the perfect balance of old and new. It delivers feminine touches without being over-the-top girly. The mother-to-be found {scored} many of the rooms furnishings at estate sales or thrift stores including the antique wardrobe, a pair of Faux Boix 1957 lamps {bases painted Sherman Williams Capri Blue}, {with collapsible aluminum shades} stuffed rocker {$80} and chandelier.  As for a touch of new, the canopy {designed again  by mom-to-be} beautifully frames the modern Classic Euro Crib by Oeuf.  For a touch of whimsy, the ceiling is painted a bold green and white stripe using Sherman Williams Kilkenny Green {also inset of wardrobe} and Bistro White. Accents of  bright yellow {Lemon Twist Yellow}  was applied on the ceiling canopy and closet doors. The disco balls perched atop the wardrobe are brilliant!

I am still admiring the pair of Faux Boix 1957 turquoise lamps! How about you?
