New from P’kolino
There are a few new things for you from P’kolino.
The one I find most interesting is the Chalkboard Bookshelf for $120. It is also available in fushia and cobalt and will be out in May. This is a great little front-facing bookshelf that would be great storage in a modern child’s room or playroom.
The new fuchsia and cobalt colors are offered on P’kolino’s Little One’s Table and Chairs, the new Little One’s Art Easel, the new Tabletop Art Easel and Kube storage and drawers.
The Little Reader chairs have been updated, and starting in May, will be available in blue, green, orange, purple and red. They will retail for $80.
The little sleeper sofas have been updated as well.
P’kolino has also expanded on their Britto art collection and their classic art collection. I especially love the little art packs. These would make amazing gifts. The Artist Journals are $15, the Artist Sets are $25 and the Artist Travel Sets are $35. They all come in Monkey, Robot, Tias and Bug designs.
Finally, I think the Playful Xylophone will be very popular. It stacks and makes music for $30.
Some of the new items are available now and you can pre-order the rest for their May release.
Is anything going on your shopping list? How do you like the fuchsia and cobalt?

They Posted These So I Don’t Have To
These are some of my favorite posts from around the web over the past week. Lots of good stuff!
Kristen of klt:works debuted her son Sayer’s big boy room on Coos & Ahhs. It was an impressive nursery and it’s wonderful to see how it has developed over the years. You’ve gotta check out this inspiring space.
Aiden’s “Modern Preppy” Nursery Tour is another wonderful nursery on Apartment Therapy Family (formerly Ohdeedoh). Every week they’ve got at least one that I really love– and that’s why they’re so awesome.
Baby Lifestyles posted this nursery inspiration by Eden from Sugar and Charm. I was excited to see this awesome inspiration board would be perfect for our Grayson Mini Crib Giveaway!
Inhabitots shared the new Areaware Dovetail Animals by Karl Zahn [that] Can Be Mixed and Matched to Create New Creatures. LOVE these. In addition to the elephant, there’s a dog, alpaca, aligator and horse. For about $20 each, these would make both a beautiful collection as well as a fun toy.
Finally, Stokke shared their new Limited Edition Blue Melange color. Sort of a gray denim, it’s pretty stylin’.
Have a great rest of the weekend and be sure to enter our incredible giveaway for a chance to win a Grayson Mini Crib from Babyletto!
Your Mini Nurseries: The Grayson Mini Crib
I’ve really been enjoying seeing your mini nursery giveaway entries using Babyletto’s Grayson Mini Crib. Here are some of the ones you’ve come up with so far!
I love Mariah’s color choices and modern feminine style. She selected Carousel Design’s Lime Mimosa Fabric for a crib sheet with Flensted’s Floating Fish Mobile and a Jane Foster retro rag doll.
Jackie S. created this soothing collection with Oilo’s Raindrops crib bedding, boon’s Peep Wall-Mounted Bird Mobile and the North American Bear Baby Cozies, Elephant.
Aura selected a Kushies Zolo Mobile to go with her espresso crib choice. She’d use it with a Solid Lilac Minky Portable Crib Sheet from Carousel Designs and a Cuddle-Up Baby Blanket from Amgajam in Turquoise.
Stephanie S. was inspired by handmade elephants! She picked this bedding from Modified Tot on etsy, an elephant mobile from Grace and Jane and a cute little elephant pillow from FLOCK home.
Rochel designed this neutral, relaxing design with an espresso Grayson, Khaki bedding from The Land of Nod, Petit Collage’s Safari Friends Mobile and a tree wall decal with birds and leaves.
These are just a few of the great inspirations that I received this week. If you want your idea featured, be sure to include links to the three items you pick to accessorize your Grayson Mini Crib when you send your entry. I’ll share as many as time allows.
Keep in mind that the full size crib sheets are for inspiration only. You have to purchase or make mini or portable size sheets. I’ll do a post soon with my best picks for mini crib bedding.
If you haven’t done it yet, go to the giveaway post and enter! If you come up with your own mini nursery design, remember to leave me the links in the giveaway comments.

Grayson Mini Crib Giveaway from Babyletto: Smallest Crib for the Smallest Month!
Part of the Million Dollar Baby family, Babyletto is one of the first brands I think of for affordable modern nursery furniture. Now they’ve come out with their first modern mini crib, and for $250, you should take a look at the Grayson.
Mini cribs are wonderful alternatives to bassinets and playards for the early months when you may want your baby sleeping nearby or if you don’t have space for a full-sized crib. The Grayson Mini Crib can fold up flat when it is not in use and can be slid under a bed or into a closet for easy storage.
A lot of you were waiting for this crib to debut and since you’ve been so patient and eager, we’ve got a Grayson Mini Nursery Giveaway!
February may be the smallest month, but this is our biggest giveaway yet! You can enter to win your choice of either an Espresso or White Grayson Mini Crib (retail value of $249). The crib comes with a 1″ Mattress Pad as well.
We have a plethora of ways to enter this giveaway (using rafflecopter) but the most fun and most valuable is the last one, where we want YOU to decorate your dream mini nursery using the Grayson Mini Crib. Pick your crib, select some bedding, choose the perfect mobile and a cute accessory and voilà, you have a perfect little nursery that fits almost anywhere! Leave your choices in the comments.
Here’s one that I put together:
Cute, right?
I chose the Espresso Grayson Mini Crib with a Starling Portable Crib Sheet from Carousel Designs, Deluxe Red Bird Mobile from Petit Collage and Bon Bon Red Bunny from Jellycat. What would YOU pick?

They Posted These, So I Don’t Have To
These are some of my favorite posts from around the web over the past week. Lots of great stuff!
First, I’m sure you’ve seen this nursery. Love it. Have loved it for years. Well, guess what? The little girl who lived here, grew up, got a big girl bed and a baby brother
… and little brother has moved in and had the place redecorated. Take a peek at the tranformation of Paige’s nursery into Noah’s Nautical Nest on hellobee.
You KNOW I’ve been waiting for Modern Playhouse to come up with an outdoor design. Well, Gabrielle Blair got the heads up on this one and posted Modern Playhouse’s new Dacha Playhouse (coming February 15th!) on Babble’s Family Style. It’s made of 100% post consumer recycled plastic too! We so need one of these.
Mari of Small for Big says, “You need a little neon in your life,” and I believe her. I love the neon creations she shares from Sketch.Inc.
When I first saw pictures of the fold-flat Flux Chair, I started seriously considering these as extra dining seating in the house. I’d still love to have about a half a dozen of them, but now I’ll have to add a few Flux Junior Chairs to the wish list as well. Thanks to Bambino Goodies for the information.
Finally, Kid Crave put together a super fun and really useful Essential Guide to Raising A Hipster. Perfect!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Don’t forget to enter our Wallfry nursery art print giveaway as we’ll be picking the winner on Monday!
Todd Oldham’s Kid Made Modern Collection for Target
I’m super excited about Todd Oldham’s Kids Made Modern Collection for Target. Coming May 20th, I can’t wait to get my hands on this unique, fun and funky collection of modern art and craft supplies.
I’ve been a fan of Todd Oldham since the early 90s when I would watch him on MTV’s House of Style (some of you know what I’m talking about).
We already own his book Kid Made Modern and this collection is expanding on the themes and popularity of that book.
So far my favorite items that I can see are the tape, crayons and craft kits. This release can’t come soon enough! I’ll tell you more about it as the release date gets nearer, but for now I’ll be saving up.
