We love the simple storyducks that help keep the story alive. that caught the countries attention and the hand made quality and personality of these

ducduc on TV

Log on to LXTV and see George Oliphant and Esther Sadowsky create a nursery on Baby Room Rescue. They take a small room and turn it into a colorful nursery. It features the dylan crib and parker changing table and collins rocker. Check it out here.

Wallpaper Collective

Because I had wallpaper in my room as a child, I love wallpaper for kids rooms. This one is from a company called wallpaper collective that has wallpaper from many different designers and many different designs to choose from. Our favorite that would look great with ducduc furniture and a bit old school (have fun describing records to your children!) is Analog Nights by Aime Wilder. And the site includes the handy wallpaper calculator to help you figure out how much to order. They will even help you find someone to hang it. How easy is that!

Wallpaper for boys....and girls?

One of our favorite blogs is Coochicoos and we have to credit them for finding this amazing wallpaper. The company Paper Boy Wallpaper, was created with boys in mind- "where boys themes meet grown up style." But we think it may appeal to girls as well. Check out the pattern inspired by hand shadows. It's hand printed and you can order samples to get everyone's approval before buying.

Removable Numbers

These numbers caught our eye at Modern Family at Dwell on Design. They have a great graphic quality in bright colors. And the best part is they are removable, so you can put them on furniture or the wall and move them when you get inspired. For a good time call? 8675309? Probably not appropriate, but we bet you can come up with some clever ideas.

Create the perfect kids rooms!

With resources from 1st Dibs and ShopAD, including ducduc and Masongray, you can put together all the things you like in one clever portfolio system and create the perfect children's room. You can find great vintage pieces on 1st Dibs from around the world and new furniture and fabrics, and textiles on ShopAD. We love that you can keep everything in one place and share them with your decorator or friends. Start decorating!

Back to School!

Homework, yuck. Why not make it as enticing as possible (is that possible?) Take a look at one of our many desks; austin, alex, morgan, cabana, or campaign. We also have chairs, hutches and bookshelves that you can use to create a special place for studying, reading, the computer or all three. Offered in many colors and wood finishes, and small and large sizes, we are sure you will find something that fits your style. And will make the kids look forward to homework.

Good luck!

Cool Bunk Beds

This contemporary kid's room is from Southern Living's Sustainable Showcase Home in Greenville, South Carolina.  They have done a great job mixing colletions  from our modern kid's furniture, but adding traditional bedding, window treatments and accessories, bridging the gap between traditional and modern for a great look. The modern bunkbed is from the austin collection. The desk from our morgan collection.  And the armoire from our cabana collection. Check it out if you are in the area, or on line.
