The glider chair has come a long way, baby

One of my most tedious nursery purchases nearly six years ago, was our glider. I went with that ubiquitous glider brand, whose styles were just…not me. It did the job of course, but it never made me happy to look at and it didn’t feel right when the...

Grab a seat on the ice cream cookie. I’ll be right with you.

by Cool Mom Staff | Kids' Furniture

Just when I was thinking “You know what would be cool? An ottoman made to look like an ice cream cookie!” our friends at Jellio came along and beat me to it. We’ve long admired this furniture designer’s wildly imaginative creativity. And now...

A tree grows in Brooklyn. And becomes eco-friendly kids’ furniture.

by Elizabeth | Kids' Furniture

Searching for just the right children’s furniture always seems a challenge. You don’t want anything too adult, or too baby-ish either. You want something as beautiful as the rest of your decor, and if you’re going to invest in quality...

Desktop bookshelves – Hold the tools and the glue

by Cool Mom Staff | Kids' Furniture

The piles of books and catalogs on our desks around here have gotten completely out of control, and with another official reader in our house, I only foresee more clutter in our future. So that’s why I’m digging these desktop bookshelves from Ecolok. These...

Modern children’s furniture for modern tight budgets

by Cool Mom Staff | Kids' Furniture

There’s a lot of adorable children’s furniture out there, but the big problem is the cost. At least for the stuff I tend to like, which is vibrant and modern and doesn’t have the word Shaker anywhere near it. Then I discovered the affordable custom...

A crib with a view

by Cool Mom Staff | Baby, Kids' Furniture

Back about six years ago when I was shopping for our first crib, they were still made only for sleeping babies and not for their style-conscious parents. But these days, moms have a whole array of amazing, inspired options, and one of the most incredible we’ve...

Gummy bears that won’t wreck your teeth

by Mir | Kids' Furniture

Despite the fact that looking at this kids furniture got The Gummy Bear Song stuck in my head (no, I won’t burden you if you don’t already know it), I’m totally grooving on these adorable gummy bear chairs from yam & toast. They’re sweet...

Get a green nursery no matter what color you paint it

by Betsy | Baby, Kids' Furniture

Back when my son was born, saying that you wanted a green crib meant you were literally looking for a crib that was painted green. I’m really thrilled now that more and more companies are offering eco-friendly options that are stylish too, like the new IoLine...

The crib of my dreams. Thanks Bloom.

by Stephanie Slate | Baby, Kids' Furniture

I have a confession: I have two children and I’ve never owned a crib. As a co-sleeping family, we’ve never really needed one. But now I’m going to tell you about the most beautiful crib I’ve ever seen, by which I mean the one that’s...

It’s a high chair. It’s a low chair. It’s a HiLo chair.

by Cool Mom Staff | Kids' Furniture

When you discover a kids shop through the Wallpaper* Magazine Facebook Fan Page, it’s a pretty good bet they’re going to have taste up the wazoo. So when I clicked over to ella+elliot, yep. That’s just what I found. This beautiful Toronto store...

A Ray of sunshine in nursery decor.

by Delilah S. Dawson | Kids' Furniture

I hate my hand-me-down crib with the passion of a thousand fiery suns, which is why it’s in pieces in the attic while my kid sleeps in an old pack-and-play the color of used hospital scrubs. In my dreams, I’ve got something from Muu Furniture –...

A glider that has beauty and brains

by Betsy | Kids' Furniture

I remember waddling over to the glider section of the baby mega-store. I eased myself onto one of the basic floor models. It wasn’t much to look at (which is a nice way of saying, butt ugly), but I felt like I had discovered heaven in chair form. Well, if that...

Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz!

Kristen Chase + Liz Gumbinner of Cool Mom Picks

We started Cool Mom Picks in 2006 to help make life cooler, more meaningful, and more fun for parents of all kinds.

Trivia: It was called Cool Mom Sh*t for the first two days. (Yeah, we rethought that.)

We had no idea our site would grow to become a major lifestyle network, that we'd end up sharing our finds with the TODAY Show and Martha Stewart, that we'd be able to make a real difference for so many small businesses and women-run companies, or that we'd end up with an incredible community of the coolest readers on the planet. (If we do say so ourselves).

We still love what we do every single day. And we're so glad you're here.
