I’m always sad when the book cover of a favorite children’s book gets torn or crumpled, as it inevitably does with a well-loved book. So I’ve started saving our favorite covers — removing them completely before they have a chance to be damaged — and hanging them on the wall. Originally I did this by […]
We love this flower shop we found in the Kensal Rise neighborhood of London. They collect vintage vases/containers, and send out their flowers in them. It’s such a nice idea—that you would get an arrangement in a vase that you keep, rather than in a glass one that you end up holding onto out of […]
An easy (and dramatic) way to pull together a table when you’re having friends over for dinner…gather different candle holders together—they don’t have to match—and make them the focal point. This is our friend Becky’s table—she also had a lovely vase with a several tulips in the center, but it would also look great even […]
I love the way our friend Becky made such a beautiful arrangement of the entire top of a sideboard. On it she put collected river stones in an old tureen, sentimental matchbooks in a bowl, feathers in a vase, oranges and chocolate that she was serving for dessert, candles (from Ikea!), and gorgeous roses—which pulled […]
We are huge fans of Camilla’s blog Family Chic, where she writes about everything from the coolest crafts to easy decor upgrades
We all have a landing space–be it a counter, a coffee table, credenza…where our life really happens. Keys, magazines, music speakers…and usually, it’s a little messy. Recently we were at a friend’s house, who had this same kind of landing spot, but she had placed a bowl of dried rose buds in a pretty bowl, […]
This mom of three who left the corporate world to open Greenhouse Design with her husband opens up her home and shares her fantastic
As a pregnant artist, she dreamed up Senn & Sons—a business creating custom artwork for children’s rooms
Our dear friends Dewey and Stephanie Nicks, frequent contributors to Momfilter, had their home featured in the August 2011 issue of Martha Stewart Living. We are so inspired by it, and wanted to make sure you saw it. Here is part of the story, and go to the Martha link for the rest. “In lieu of a […]
I have a hard time with the idea of “decorating” a kid’s room. (In fact, I have a hard time with the word in general, despite my appreciation for the craft when done well). In an ideal world you want your kids’ rooms to reflect who they are at the moment to as great a […]
I met my friend Anna and her daughter Poppy at an early childhood family education class in Minneapolis when my daughter Mia was 6 months old. One day, in response to a bunch of first-time mom chatter surrounding sleep training and whether it was humane, Anna spoke up: “You know, after months of no sleep, […]
Our friend Cynthia Rowley is filled with clever ideas, but one of our favorites is her kids’ glow-in-the-dark bathroom. She bought special glow-in-the-dark tiles, but you can also do this in a closet with paint. (Note: I don’t have the exact resource for where she got her tiles, so the link above is to one […]
