Another, “why hasn’t anyone else thought of this before” moment came to us when we saw this genius crib designed by Michelle’s husband. After polling mommies he knew, her husband found that most moms hated changing the crib sheets because the mattress was so hard to access. His solution? Have the mattress pull out!

Ohhh! What a crib — they call it the modernists dream crib, and we can’t disagree. The new Roh Crib from Spot on Square, which will be available this November, is made using BPA and phthalate free clear acrylic that’s 100% recyclable, and locally sourced walnut. You’ll have to shell out a good amount for [...]

We’re definitely falling for some of the great stuff over at Litto Kids, a company that specializes in modern design for children. Their “Manhattan” collection above was created with “European contemporary flavor” in mind — loves!

We do as much as we can to baby-proof the house, especially the staircase, even if that means using eyesores like those white, plastic contraptions we all know and love hate. Well, if  you’re like us and have wondered why no one in the world has come up with a stair gate that isn’t hideous [...]

It was under “What’s New” in the Children’s Ikea Tab — a fabulous  DUKTIG Mini-kitchen for $99 (the mircowave hutch is sold separately). We read around that it’s been up on the European Ikea site for awhile, so we’re happy to see that we can get it here in the US now!
Get this, the legs [...]

We know that you can only get so creative storing books (bookshelves, of course, and maybe baskets), which is why we were thrilled to see this Andrius Pocius’ BOOKSPILE. It’s made up of a series of interlocking pieces that you can assemble without bolts or screws — in the end, it looks like an stylishly disordered [...]

Is this for the kids, or for us? We haven’t decided yet, but we do know we love it. Matheiu Lehanneur’s ‘Bucky’s Nightmare’ leather bean bag chair sustains its geometric shapes through sewn triangles. Quite a jump from bean bags we’re used to!

Holy genius calendar, Batman!
This new calendar from Oscar Diaz sucks ink from a bottle and colors a strip of numbers — coloring exactly one complete number each day. We’re baffled!
Read more about it here at Gizmodo, they explain how the calendar works much better than we can.

We just realized we never posted about the Offi Nest Crib. How could we forget? 
The Nest Crib is one of the most iconic modern crib designs in, well, modern history (or, at least we think so, but it’s not as if there’s a Modern Crib Design book we can reference — though, there’s an idea)! [...]

This AMBERintheSKY Loft Bed comes to us from Perludi, an Austrian furniture design company. It’s definitely made for the modern home, and we can’t help but love how they designed the ladder. We can imagine this piece being draped with sheets and turning into a fort in no time — and we kind of like [...]
