Candyland, now on your wall

by Kristen Chase | Art + Decor

A great twin gift for double the fun

by Eva Glettner | Art + Decor

Twin gifts can be among the toughest to find for new babies–that is, if you want something more unique than two matching onesies and hats. That’s why I love this art idea. Barcelona artist Judy Kaufmann is an extremely talented artist that celebrates the...

Toys for the grown up folk

by Eva Glettner | Art + Decor

I have a serious addiction. I love art toys. The first thing everyone always tells me is “adult toys, really?” No, no, friends. Art! I dig the whimsical designs, the variety, and the limited editions. My kids dig ’em too, so it’s win, win.Up...

From the gulf stream waters to the redwood forest

Deck the halls (or kids’ bedrooms) with Babybot and Blik

by Christina Refford | Art + Decor

Along with decking the halls, we hope to finally redo the walls in my son’s bedroom, but given that it has taken years for us to get around to this project, there will be no painted murals of his favorite cartoon characters. Instead, I’m digging the idea...

A new way to frame those fabulous family photos

by Cool Mom Team | Art + Decor

I am always looking for fun ways to hang up pictures of the brood. Once I can convince my husband to help me arrange the pictures on the walls, they are pretty much up for good. We are big fans of Paper Culture around here, and they have come up with a perfect...

Luchador Love

by Eva Glettner | Art + Decor

Nacho Libre happens to be one of my all time favorite movies. Something about Jack Black in “stretchy pants,” as he calls it, just puts me in a good mood. Well these posters bring out the giddiness in both me and the kids. Rebecca Paragine is my kind of...

U is for Underground – That’s our kind of ABC Book

by Delilah S. Dawson | Art + Decor

M isn’t for mustache. I checked. But if you dig retro-modern design and a book that feels like buttah, you’re going to want this one for your kid’s bookshelf… or your own coffee table. Paul Thurlby’s Alphabet is a swoon-worthy collection...
