Mismatched Wallpaper


I just love the look of the mismatched vintage wallpaper in this room featured in the deco supplement to the online magazine Papier Maché. (via famille summerbelle)

Egg Rug


It's an egg rug!

Danish Modern Cradle


Wow, look at this Danish Modern cradle designed by Nanna Ditzel in 1964. It is for sale for $2500 at Retro Modern Design, which is also a great site to explore an archive of designers.

Striped Paper Straws


Here is another alternative to plastic: striped paper straws, only $3 a box at Kikkerland. They come in red, blue, green, or gray.

Cardboard Wall


I kind of like this cardboard wall in a kid's room--or more of a warehouse, it looks like. At least I think it's cardboard. (via vintage for kids)

Piggy Bank


The pop menagerie piggy bank from Jonathan Adler comes in pink or blue for $48.

Amazing Quilt


This amazing quilt by Kathy York is called Little Cities. Just incredible!

Fairy Forest


Etsy seller QuietudeQuilts makes very sweet fabric fairy forests.

Giant Doily Rug


Just get a big box of rope and crochet yourself this super duper doily rug.

Teenagers


Teenagers. Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents? ACT NOW! Move out...get a job...pay your own bills. Do it while you still know everything.

Knit Nesting Bowls


Etsy seller Enjoyables knits these gorgeous rainbow bowls from reclaimed wool. Perfect for nesting and stacking into a tower, a set of 10 is $47.

Blue Bunk Bed


I love the light blue and red color palette for this classic kids' room designed by Sarah Richardson.

Creek Cleaning


This little girl has made it her mission to clean up her local creeks and blog about her efforts. One girl changing the world. So fantastic! These are the same creeks I played in when I was little, so I'm extra proud of her. Follow her adventures on her blog Clean Up Your Creek!

Girl on Horse


This dreamy Victorian print of a girl on a horse just sold on eBay.

The Me Book


The Me Book (reprinted from 1974) is so cute, with the sweetest illustrations by Tibor Gergely of silly animals doing fun things. I had to go back to the store the next day to buy it, because I couldn't stop thinking about it. It is $5.99 at amazon.com for a nice board book.
