The fairest of the wall

by Delilah S. Dawson | Art + Decor

Mirror, mirror on the wall…move over. We need the wall space, because there’s a new princess in town. And something tells me she’s not going to be running away from a wicked witch any time soon, because she looks pretty self-reliant, despite her...

Custom hearts for the one you heart

by Liz Gumbinner | Cards + Stationery

I think I’m in love. The object of my affection: The selection of decorative artwork embellished with handcut paper hearts from the brand new Etsy shop Paper Cut Works. Ania Alyson, Seattle artist by way of Poland, creates artsy, anatomically-inspired hearts out...

Storing the kids’ artwork in plain view

by Cool Mom Team | Random Coolness

For the last five years, I have done my best to figure out what the heck to do with my oldest daughter’s awesome artwork. As you probably know, the fridge display only works for so long, and while framing it would be nice, how do I pick just one? Well, thank you...

Prints Made Easy

by Barbara | Art + Decor

It was somewhere in my mid-twenties that I vowed to never again buy a cheesy reproduction; adults collected art, not dog-eared posters. Of course, it didn’t occur to me that most work I would consider “art,” would probably be far too dear for my...

On April 16, shove those tax papers where the sun won’t shine

by Christina Refford | Living

No matter how I fare in the annual rite of Tax Reporting, on April 16 I cannot wait to get rid of all the papers and receipts and do-dads I’ve had to hold on to for a year. A bonfire would be nice, but I’m not that rebellious, so instead I’ll just be...

From the changing table to your dining room table (not as gross as it sounds)

by Betsy | Food + Recipes

It’s hard to believe I had my son a decade ago. Back then, no matter what your personal style was, you were pretty much limited to duckies, boats or flowers when it came to baby bedding. But now companies like Olli and Lime are turning out chic and modern...

For when a scribble is a heck of a lot more than just a scribble

by Stephanie Slate | Helpful Services

If you’re anything like I am, you’ve probably got a lot of your kids’ precious artwork boxed up and you’re saving it for, well, who knows what.(Actually, if you’re really like me, then your kids’ glitter-encrusted volcano drawings...

Add some spice to life with Rice

by Delilah S. Dawson | Toys + Playthings

Rice dk is a cool Danish company specializing in utterly chic and socially-conscious homewares. I like to think of them as the cooler, slightly under-the-radar version of Ikea. Like the hip older cousin I had growing up who wore a motorcycle jacket with a kilt....
