This nursery comes courtesy of Little Liberty; an Australian interior decorating business, “specialising in designing children’s spaces including nurseries, bedrooms and playrooms”.

Owner Nicole emailed pics of the room, designed for baby Piper, in East Brighton, Victoria. The nursery features our Logan collection crib bedding, pillow and changing pad cover.

Nicole says “I chose my wallpaper first [Siam Trellis by Sanderson] and then thought the Logan collection would be such a perfect fit. I love the magenta pink with the soft pinks”.

The striking, delicate mobile is from Etsy and the pouf is from a wholesaler, and a lot like our CB2 fave. The giant ‘P’ above the changing table is a bold addition that really works.

Nicole used her go-to “print guy” – “he designs it with my brief, prints it and stretches it. It was tricky getting the colors right. We had to print it twice but eventually we nailed it!”

Check out more of Piper’s pink and grey nursery in Nicole’s blog post and visit the Little Liberty site for the full portfolio, including many other nurseries and children’s rooms.

Thanks to Nicole for choosing O&L, and for sharing these great pics. If you’re an interior designer and are considering using any of our products, we’d love to hear from you

A couple of recent customer-tweeted pics to share now. Erin Smyth posted this fab pic of our Little Billie Wall Art. I’m loving the matching flash of orange on the mat’s inside edge.

And dad-to-be, and O&L friend, Tim Johnson (featured before) tweeted this pic of our George crib bedding last month, on our favorite Oeuf Sparrow crib…good choices [...]]]>

The Social Security Administration has just released a list of top baby names chosen by American parents during 2011. I spotted the list on Momtrends and just had to share…

A couple of cool bathroom finds I’d like to share. First-up, this re-issue of Patrick Rylands’ iconic 1969 Fish and Bird floating bath toys, with an internal ballast weight for balance.

And I love this Puj ultra-soft elephant spout cover, which flexes over a variety of faucets to make them safe, and is made from recycled, non-absorbent materials…so no mildew!

A couple of cool bathroom finds I’d like to share. First-up, this re-issue of Patrick Rylands’ iconic 1969 Fish and Bird floating bath toys, with an internal ballast weight for balance.

And I love this Puj ultra-soft elephant spout cover, which flexes over a variety of faucets to make them safe, and is made from recycled, non-absorbent materials…so no mildew!

Two pieces of elegant design for the bathroom, separated by about 40 years! And once baby’s dried off, what better way to get snuggly and warm than with a hooded blanket?

This George version features soft plush, and just happens to match the spout cover! Hope you enjoyed that quick dip into the bath…and that the rest of your week stays dry

With Mother’s Day almost upon us, thought it was appropriate to signpost this cute – and thought-provoking – ‘call your mother’ infographic, posted yesterday on Frugal Dad.

It quantifies practical, emotional and financial sacrifices, routinely made by mothers (and fathers) during a child’s lifetime. Do take a look…then call your mother to say thanks!

I bookmarked Modern House Numbers ages ago, in preparation for buying our first US home. That time has yet to arrive, but this Design Milk giveaway rekindled my interest.

A sumptuous choice of typefaces, across aluminum, vinyl and stencil numbers, to lead the way from your curb, to the mailbox, right to your front door. Giveaway ends Friday [...]]]>

There’s something so pure about wooden toys. I love their simplicity and durability, in the form of a single, beautiful, natural material. Here are a few examples I spotted recently.

At the high end, how about these beautiful Herman Miller Select 2009 Eames-inspired solid walnut wooden tops? And who could resist these cute Dovetail Animals by Karl Zahn?

At the high end, how about these beautiful Herman Miller Select 2009 Eames-inspired solid walnut wooden tops? And who could resist these cute Dovetail Animals by Karl Zahn?

Simple polished wood shapes converge at dovetail joints to form smoothly sculptured animals. I also spied this wooden (non-operational!) camera at Etsy’s Little Saplings.

Had to stop myself posting many more wooden wonders. Suffice to say, it’s great to see many companies, large and small, continuing to create toys in this traditional medium

Got a great surprise the other day, spying this store in our favorite Boston neighborhood, the South End. Addo Novo began in Portland, ME, and opened at this location last year.

Got a great surprise the other day, spying this store in our favorite Boston neighborhood, the South End. Addo Novo began in Portland, ME, and opened at this location last year.

The showroom is bigger than you’d think, and expertly curated, with a mix of pieces from mid-century icons and current designers. Once you get inside, you won’t want to leave…

…if you’re anything like us that is. It’s thoughtfully arranged and visually engaging. I love this George Nelson clock display, for instance. Pic from Addo Novo Facebook page.

A bonus was trying out this Eames Executive Work Chair I’ve been eyeing (in brown). So comfy. So want it. If you’re nearby, I’d recommend a visit. Either way check the site

I just spotted an O&L inclusion in a children’s room design, on Romeo’s Muse. That’s our George ABC Wall Art, on the right, picked for this “canary yellow and steel grey” room.

“Gender neutral doesn’t always mean you need to stick to beige and lemon”, says the designer, instead going with “bold, industrial style” colors. Thanks [...]]]>

Just had to share this ‘DIY paint chip mural’, I spotted recently on Remodelista (a go-to source for home inspiration) comprising paint chips from Australian company Murobond.

I’d prefer a more muted color palette but that’s the beauty of this concept; you can choose and arrange paint chips to suit. You can frame them too, but you’d lose the tactile [...]]]>
