Sit Down & Stay Awhile!

NEW from our good friends at Offi... the Teenager Chair! Designed by Svante Schoblom and produced in Sweden, these recycled polypropylene seats are perfect for the whole family, not just the teens & tweens! Mini will love to curl up and read, and even the grown-ups can comfortably lean back. Just $79 and online soon... but you can always call to order! 607 962 5757, 10a - 6p EST, Monday - Friday.

Our Favorite Neutral

We all see photos of beautiful designer homes, decked in white furniture and white carpets and white EVERYTHING... how is that possible with minis running around? Rather than see in black and white, we prefer shades of gray! 

First up, the Offi Coosh Lounge & Ottoman! Made of high density foam, this great piece has been featured in several magazines and design shows for its' futuristic feel whilst retaining comfort. Ball it up to save space when not in use, then interlock the two parts to make a cozy lounge!

 

Next up, the Blu Dot Couchoid in Slate! Definitely one of our favorite vendors, the Couchoid collection from the minds of Blu Dot is also one of our favorite lines: modern, aerodynamic, and yet still warm enough for the whole family.

Finally, we present the Takahama Suzanne Lounge Chair from Knoll Kids! The perfect seat for mini to read on... or just lounge :-)

You'll want to use a coaster...

Often overlooked, the coffee table is a big part of any living room. It's not just a place to sit the remote, it's often a card table, a space to gather around after dinner, or mini's favorite homework spot. Here are three of our favorite coffee tables that are guaranteed to pull the whole family together!

First, the Eames Molded Plywood Coffee Table. Luke, aged 4, called it a "big dimple" and we think that's pretty accurate! Elegant but with a sense of fun, this graceful table will fast become the centerpiece of your family room.

 

The Scando Table from Offi is definitely meant for the whole family! Based on Eric Pfeiffer's classic MAG Table, the Scando has that same easy curve to store magazines or books in, but it's also big enough to spread out at and color or study. Built low to the ground, it's the perfect place for mini to design her next big scheme!

 

A slightly newer piece is the Pi Coffee Table from Blu Dot. Eye-catching and meant to enjoy, it's also sturdily built with walnut legs and powder-coated steel. 

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep...

Minis grow fast, and that's a fact. One night, you go to tuck her in and realize she's growing right out of her bed! What's the next step? Where do you start looking for a bed she can be comfortable in until she goes off to college? We've got a few suggestions for you...

The Mod-ulicious Twin Bed from BluDot is definitely a favorite... especially with its' DIY options and great storage! In Maple - with any color drawers - this bed is just $1299.

 

Based on a traditional sleigh bed, the Oeuf Sparrow Twin will help ease mini from the nursery. Available in birch with white or gray trim, and just $890!

 

Maybe you've got TWO minis in one room? The Argington Uffizi Bunk Beds will be perfect! Both beds take a standard twin-sized mattress, and there are four possible color combinations. Just $1850!

On the Sunny Side of the Seat

As the weather warms up, the outdoors beckon to mini! Possible weather-proof furniture options include the following...

The Panton Junior Chair, available in six colors, is just $140.

 

The Headdemock Deluxe from Fatboy is currently on sale for just $399... but this price only lasts for another 4 days! (Regularly priced at $499.) This family-sized hammock has eight color possibilities.

 

The Offi Mod Lounger by Lisa Albin retails for $499. Made from recyclable plastic #4 and fun for the whole family! Plus, you're bound to love at least one of the six great Offi colors!

Help mini save her moolah.

Nothing makes saving money more fun than a great coin bank! Start mini's college fund NOW! ;-)

The ceramic Wage Coin Bank from Pretty Ugly will make mini more than happy to penny-and-dime.
