Nice and New: Serena & Lily Senegalese Storage Baskets

CasaSugar — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 11:00:25 PDT

Serena & Lily's new Senegalese Storage Baskets ($68-$148, or $290 for three) are my latest must-have crush. I can't imagine a storage basket any prettier than these beauties, and it's no wonder: they're handcrafted by artisans in Africa, and no two are alike. Better yet, they're made from brightly colored recycled plastic around coils of natural fiber so they're eco-friendly, too! Considering how trendy chevron is these days, I'm sure they'll be a hit. I love how each zig zag pattern is unique; owning the trio gives them a more playful look.

Always looking for a place to stash the surplus of throws in my living room, I think the large or medium Senegalese basket is the perfect candidate. My only trouble is which hue shall I choose? The baskets are available in pink, blue, and navy/green. Which is your favorite?

Cool Idea: Rugged Headboard and Framed Wall Art

CasaSugar — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 10:00:00 PDT

Traditional children's rooms aren't really my style. I'd choose a striped room with faux animal busts over a teddy bear theme any day of the week, which is why I'm smitten with the boudoirs featured in Serena and Lily's latest catalog. Forget the toddlers: I'm moving into this pad!

The grocery flats behind the bed serve as an economical yet funky way to bring a rugged look to the room. Add a fresh image - be it a letter, a decal, or a pair of antlers - and it makes for an easy way to add "artwork" to any room.

Pimp Your Crib: Lighting For Baby's Nursery

babysugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 06:00:20 PDT

God said, "Let there be light," but he didn't say it had to be a high voltage fluorescent one beaming from a heinous fixture in baby's room. One of the easiest ways to quickly improve the state of a nursery is to install a new light fixture. With all of the options floating around, you can't go wrong. There's one to fit every style and budget.

Simple: For a room that has details in every nook and cranny, it's nice to keep the lighting simple with a pendant lamp from Serena and Lily ($169).
Modern: If baby's room has the Ouef crib and she's rollin' in the Orbit stroller. Keeping with the modern theme. Design Within Reach ($300) has a balloon fixture that will complement baby's style.
Classic: If you're more the MacLaren type with gingham bedding, you might like a chandelier that passes the test of time from Pottery Barn Kids ($129). You can buy the different shades ($9) to match it up to the rest of your decor.
Funky Cool: For those who have created a wicked cool nursery and don't mind throwing some cash towards the glow, invest in the sweet Anthropologie Bird chandelier ($798). We know it's a hefty price to pay but those lil birds are heavenly.
Luxurious: Melania Trump's nursery made you all a flutter. If you crave Baron's style with gold gilded angels and drapes touching the ground, luxury is your middle name. Your prince or princess deserves the best with a Bellacor antique style lamp ($461).

If you know someone handy, they might be able to install it for you. If not, don't fret - most electricians can install a light fixture in no time. Pretty soon your (I mean baby's) nursery will look like the dreamland you always imagined.
