Friday Favorites

To celebrate Friday the 13th (the first of THREE this year!) we're going to highlight some of our favorite grown-up items! After all, why should mini get to have all the fun? ;-)

First up, the Atlantico Bed by De La Espada. This gorgeous, solid wood bed is contemporary yet approachably traditional in its' natural finished look. How does it do that???

Next, the Swept Sofa from Blu Dot. With its' clean lnes this sofa definitely celebrates elegant modernism. It's comfy, too!

Finally, how about some fun decor, fellow adults? Maybe you're wondering what to do with all those CDs now that downloadable music is all better than sliced bread? The Flensted Reflections Mobile is just what you need!

Hopefully our ideas have inspired you to put Friday the 13th out of your mind and focus on the bigger picture: 2012!

Decor Trends for 2012

The design blogs are hopping with what are sure to be the hottest home decor trends this year. What tops the list so far? Owls! We're all about the Omar the Owl Zootimer Clock by George Nelson (available through Vitra). Is mini learning to tell time? Maybe she needs Omar's help!

What's predicted as about to be the second biggest 2012 trend in home interiors? Family trees! Surround mini will love by building her a colorful family tree! Try the Seasons Tree from notNeutral and use double-sided foam adhesive to add happy family photos in with the birds and butterflies.

Another noticeable trend is the reinvention of staircases. Who needs boring wooden staircases when they can so easily be livened up a bit? A Modernseed suggestion: walk on air by cutting the Summer Clouds re-adhesible wallpaper from Wallcandy Arts into stair-sized strips. Mini will love this idea!
