We love the look of classic pieces with fun, homey touches. Nashel, Chused and Benjamin's apartment is a great example of place that looks chic while still being warm and inviting and the playroom in the apartment definitely fit this style mold.

On this Monday morning, we wanted to sing the praises of this well used living room. There's interaction, entertainment, a budding artist and we just love it! There's something beautiful about catching a small glimpse into the life of a family and how they interact with their surroundings....

We really like the short legs of these vintage desks from India. Kids can sit on the floor comfortably to use them, or you can also use them on a bed or couch.

How To: Oversized Hoop "Mobile"

We've seen the humble embroidery hoop serve as nursery decor before, but never on such a large scale. Lino's parents, David and Lorena, took the concept even further by silkscreening animals onto small pieces of fabric using glow-in-the-dark white paint. At night, the creatures serve as "friendly ghosts" who watch over Lino while he sleeps.

Baby in Table by Oji Masanori

2009-08-baby-in-table-.jpgHow's this for a fantastic little desk (that doesn't scream "Desk!") for the young 'uns? Perfectly designed for pint-sized work and storage, it can also be used throughout the house after your child outgrows it: the desk would make a lovely coffee table, and the chair a handy little stepstool.

Look! Striped Bedroom Set

2009-08-stripedbed2.jpgWe walked into a design showroom yesterday and this window display stopped us in our tracks. Literally. The side of us that wants to support artisans wanted to buy it on the spot. But the diy side of us won the fight and we can't wait to try to recreate the look at home.
