Pimp Your Crib: Elle and Evans Nursery Pillows

babysugar — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 06:00:25 -0800

I have given many nursery pillows for "welcoming baby" gifts, but none as cute as these from Elle and Evans. Each pillow is made with fine dupioni silk, filled with down feathers, and can be monogrammed for $58. These fabulous pillows are appropriate for both boys and girls and can go along with modern and shabby chic themed rooms.

We know that infants aren't supposed to sleep with pillows, but they are sweet and add the perfect touch to baby's room. And, eventually, the accent finds its place on a bed.

T Is For Titillating Tunes

babysugar — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 04:00:42 -0700

Don't bother knockin' if the nursery's a rockin'. Bronx Wentz and Zuma Rossdale may have music running through their veins, but any tot can have tune inspired lairs. Rock stars are known for wearing black so mamas can stick with an ebony and ivory themed room using a contrasting Moses basket and a zebra striped rug. Highlight the digs with a vibrant locker inspired lime green dresser. Baby can walk into a melodious wonderland with musically embroidered beanbags, guitar decals, and turntable pillows. Moms can add a personal touch by framing old sheet music or shadowboxing saved concert tickets. And if the parents are hoping for a mini musician, they better provide the tot the tools to get a head start on tickling those ivories.

We'll be up and away with U in our next installation of the alphabet nursery.

N Is For Nifty Needlework

babysugar — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 05:00:51 -0700

Sleek lines, minimal design, and bright colors are dominating modern nurseries of late, but traditional is always "in." Moms who like to stick with old-school decor can find inspiration in needlework pillows, lampshades, and wall hangings. Look to family heirlooms to provide timeless artwork; frame embroidered handkerchiefs and turn antique needlepoints into pillows. Floral adorned curtains can tie in the threaded aspect while adding a sweet, feminine touch. We're halfway through with our alphabet nursery! Come back to see what's behind O and all that follows.

O Is For Obsessing Over Orange

babysugar — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 04:00:36 -0700

It seems orange is the new brown when it comes to newborn nurseries. Instead of accenting blues and pinks with browns and greens, more moms are opting for festive tangerine hues to keep babies alert and active. Sass up the walls with bright decals or citrus inspired artwork. Pick a whimsical print to lighten up the window coverings, bedding and pillows. Polish off the look with a pair of sprightly bunny bookends, a funky rocker and plush toys for spunk accents.

Orange you glad you didn't use yellow? Come back to see what the deal is with P for our next alphabet nursery installation.

U Is For Ubermodern Utopia

babysugar — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 04:00:35 -0700

When simple and sleek are the name of the game, we've got it covered. Mom can fill one wall with a series of hand-printed screens or funky bright canvases. She can make a statement with a bold espresso and white crib and dresser and accent it with geometric bedding. Soften the interior with a cushy yet angled glider with a few droolicious pillows to make things really pop. Polish the look off with a wooden mobile and bouncer that will keep visitors wishing they were under it dreaming. We're getting close to the end of our alphabet nursery but be sure to come back to see what we're doing with V!

H Is For Horse Highlights

babysugar — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 04:00:05 -0700

Hi ho Silver! It's time to outfit an equine nursery. Forget the cartoonish cowboy paraphernalia and go for a sweet and sophisticated room for the lil buckaroo. Choose a sprightly modern avalisa print on stretched canvas to add some pop to the walls. Engage a wee one's attention with a simple silhouette horse mobile while adding a touch of the gladiator period with a Thomas Paul linen pillow. Itty bitties will adore a rocking horse - choose from modern, sleek, old-fashioned or plush. Polish off the look with a snow globe, a pony adorned silver brush, a crystal horse, or a candy red vinyl poof from Zid Zid Kids.

P Is For Perfectly Pretty Peacocks

babysugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 04:00:29 -0700

There are few species more majestic than the peacock. Their lustrous colors must make other birds green with envy while their fanned feathers can cause a bystander to stop and take in the magical display. Brighten up a tot's room with rich turquoise and green hues for a heavenly abode. Hang a birdcage from the ceiling to set an aviary tone. Follow it up with punchy pillows, a brilliant poof seat and a whimsical rug. Adventurous mums can deck the walls with metallic laden wallpaper while others can take the safe route with removable decals. Finish the look with radiant figurines, vivid frames, and twinkling mirrors.

I Is For Illuminating Islands

babysugar — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 05:00:06 -0700

What mother wouldn't want to spend some time on an island chillaxing with her new bebe? Set up the perfect oasis by surrounding the newborn with breezy bits of tropical decor. Hang a chandelier full of capiz for a bright and colorful focal point. Adorn the walls with hibiscus hangings, flamingos or surfboard decals. Super fancy fellas will be awestruck at the tropical surf shack bunk bed while wee ones can enjoy the embedded seahorse crib. Finish off the pleasurable palette with a plush sea turtle, punchy pillows, and shell accents - maybe mommy can hear the ocean speaking to her in that silver lined conch shell.

E Is For Enhancing With Earthly Accents

babysugar — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:00:25 -0700

Elephants may trump all other "E"-themed nurseries, but they walk on the ground and that's why we'll celebrate with this decor. Earth, in all of its glory, is full of creatures big and small, brown and white, chirpy and snappy. Adorn walls with a natural wooden mobile, squirrel bookends, and a deco tree stand. Light up the room with a muted bird lamp, a glowing globe, or an illuminating egg. Treat the babe to the wonders of nature by tucking him into tree-lined sheets and plush matching pillows. A touch of wilderness will have the tot thanking the heavens above for such a serene environment.

Come back to see if you can guess what "F" is all about - food, fish, frogs, or farm?

C Is For Cherishing Cars

babysugar — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 13:00:02 -0700

Much to mama's chagrin, c is not for cocktails. Well, at least when it comes to nursery decor, and anyone who thinks otherwise might want to read Sippy Cups Are Not For Chardonnay. Much like the non-drinking transition during pregnancy, switching from butterflies to cars requires a shift in gears. Leave the fancy flutter behind and press full steam ahead toward the checkered flag.

Indulge in the silver plated Reed & Barton race car or canvas racetrack wall art. Accent the room with street-filled pillows, car and truck bedding, vrooming storage bins, and decorative lamps. Wee ones will be thrilled for the new rides in their room. Now . . . on your marks, get set, go! And don't forget to come back for D.
