I’m not gonna beat around the bush: Modern Playhouse makes a seriously cool modern playhouse. We’re talking the Taj Mahal of fourteen-square-foot living, folks. No more faded plastic hot dog stands or cardboard that crumples when your unruly toddler learns...

The wooden elephant in the room

by Cool Mom Team | Art + Decor

I’m having a thing for wooden decor lately; not sure if it’s the fall in the air, or the fact that I spent way too long at Bo Concept last weekend drooling over dining room tables. Either way, I keep reimagining my apartment with more wooden accents. So...

Just like the white winged dove

Decorating for the hard to commit crowd

by Cool Mom Team | Art + Decor

By the time my husband and I agree on a paint color, I’m pretty sure we’ll be ready to move out of this house. So instead of waiting until we find the perfect shade of green for our bedroom, I’m taking the bull by the horns and investing in a few...

by Cool Mom Team | Art + Decor

Just a couple of weeks ago, our editor-in-chief Liz and I were one of 2400 attendees at the BlogHer conference in New York City. And aside from the awesome sessions and fantastic parties, we had the opportunity to be a part of the Voices of the Year gala and art...

Art appreciation for the preverbal set

by Betsy | Art + Decor

Every few months (okay, every year or so) I take my son into New York City and hit one of the many art museums. After all, who doesn’t want their child to have an appreciation of art? Evidently I’m not alone. New Editions believes you shouldn’t have...

Wallpaper gets unbelievably cool. No really. Why are you laughing?

by Betsy | Art + Decor

In the ’70’s my mom went absolutely berserk with wallpaper. It was everywhere; the walls, the ceilings, even the inside of our kitchen cabinets. Then, for a long time, wallpaper was considered very dated. Well guess what, baby, it’s back with a...

A blast from your past, now available in wall size

by Betsy | Art + Decor

I remember vividly the first time I played Atari. The angels sang in a joyous chorus (in my head) as I spent the next two hours rotating a dial to move a single white line up and down the screen as a square ball bounced back and forth. Pong. Even now the word conjures...
