Last week I posted about our fantastic Aerial crib from Nurseryworks, and someone asked about our wall hangings. I thought they deserved a quick post of their own, so here we go.
These wall hangings are really sliding curtains from Ikea that we hung on our wall. I tried to find the same print [...]

The design is simple and yet quite elegant. The Ply-Bak Line is little more than two sheets of plywood mounted to a steel frame with a small cushion to make things a little more comfortable. The lines that they were able to accomplish are pure mid century. It is available in either [...]

Etsy has become a wonderful resource for people with incredible talent to get their stuff into the hands of the public without going through a middleman. Skinny Laminx is definitely taking advantage of that to make some of her beautiful goods from South Africa available to us. Shown to the right is her [...]
