Plush and pillows with the perfect sense of humor
As a professional decorator, one of my favorite spaces to take on is a kid's room. You can go as creative and whimsical as you want; where else could I use every color in the rainbow and indulge in prints that are easily deemed "funny?"Now there's an Etsy shop I'm so...

The full body baby bib, for full contact baby feeding
There were moments in my children's earlier years that all I wanted to do was cover them in a full body raincoat. It seemed like meal times turned into "let's get as covered with food as we possibly can" times. Thankfully, a brilliant mother out there has...
