Pottery Barn Modern Baby

Do I call it official now? Has “modern baby” taken over the baby space so much that it’s just about the default? Pottery Barn has a new brand in the family, and Pottery Barn Modern | Baby is going to make shopping for your modern nursery even easier than ever.

Now their furniture collection includes familiar silhouettes like Babyletto’s Lolly Crib, but also adds many exciting new shapes and styles.

The signature look of the brand is the glam Art Deco collection with the High Gloss Black Art Deco Crib and the matching dresser. The Deco Glider & Ottoman round out the look. Well, actually, the black metal framed mirror “rounds” out the collection- ha!, and you can finish off the space with the Coco Rug and art prints (1 and 1b) by Jaime Derringer from Minted.

The Art Deco collection also comes in white, for a completely different feel. Here the crib is paired with the Lola Swivel Glider & Ottoman. Finish off this space with a Faye Rug and oversized floral wallpaper from Anewall.

For a more natural, neutral nursery, select the Nash Crib and Dresser. Leather drawer pulls add extra texture and detail to the dresser.

Their “Hip Modern Nursery” features the Tatum Crib in two tone black and white. It’s really cleverly paired with the Zebra Shaped Woven Storage basket!

The Acorn finish on this Sloan Crib hearkens over to the mid-century flavor of the West Elm x Pottery Barn Kids collections but is unique with acrylic slats.

The Sloan Crib also comes in white for a totally different, minimal look.

The Aiden Crib is another exciting new option with it’s solid form and chrome trim!

The Sloan Bookcase and Sloan Toy Chest are just two playroom pieces that are part of the storage collection, and the Pottery Barn Modern | Baby also includes tons of decor items to not just furnish, but finish the entire nursery.

I never used a lot of Pottery Barn in my modern nursery design here on the blog over the years, but I know that will all be changing now. Woah.

West Elm x Pottery Barn Kids

Not to be left behind after Crate & Barrel brought The Land of Nod back home, West Elm partnered with their sister brand, Pottery Barn Kids, for a new kids collection with their modern, mid-century aesthetic.

The collection includes three nursery furniture sets that correspond and coordinate with other West Elm furniture. This makes it my top choice if you’re looking to put together a shared bedroom– either a nursery in the master bedroom or a guestroom nursery, or even shared rooms with baby and older siblings.

The Mid-Century line includes a Convertible Crib, 3-Drawer Changing Table, 6-Drawer Changing Table, a Mini Crib and a Toddler Bed Conversion Crib. The pieces are available in Acorn or White. You can also add a 38″ Bookshelf or 22″ Bookshelf for storage and display.



The pieces in the Audrey lineup are my favorites. They had me just with the legs! If you love the Audrey style, you can choose the Convertible Crib, add a Toddler Bed Conversion Kit, pick a 6-Drawer Changing Table or a 3-Drawer Changing Table and add a Wide or Narrow Storage Bookcase.



Finally, the Modern pieces round out the collection. There’s a Convertible Crib, Storage Crib, Toddler Bed Conversion Kit, 3-Drawer Dresser, 6-Drawer Dresser and a Narrow Tower Bookcase and Cabinet Bookcase.



There are two glider and ottoman sets to choose from to finish off your West Elm nursery.

The Graham Glider has been around for a long time (we first featured it in 2012!), and there’s a nice Ottoman to go with it.

The Niels Wing Glider is a curvy statement piece and the rounded Ottoman is a crucial addition. Both gliders and ottomans have many fabric options to choose from to help customize your special nursery.

You can dress up and accessorize your West Elm nursery with anything from West Elm, but they do have some specific items to dress up uniquely kids spaces.

Why add a boring table lamp when you can get this Ceramic Nature Rabbit Table Lamp?

There’s a lovely variety of modern crib sheets, crib skirts and toddler quilts as part of the bedding collection.

The colors of these knit Cotton Baby Blankets are inspirational.

Pillows and accessories include this Felted Pom-Pom Mobile for $40.

I highly recommend checking out the entire west elm x pottery barn kids collection to inspire your modern nursery.

Rich or Reasonable: Elephant Baskets

Shaped baskets are fun decor items for a modern nursery or child’s room. They add natural texture and whimsical storage.

Our luxe version of the Elephant Shaped Basket from Zara Home is woven of rattan and measure 13″ x 14″ x 24″.

The more affordable version, the Opalhouse Elephant Basket from Target, is shown below. It’s a water hyacinth basket just a little bit smaller, measuring 12″ x 12″ x 15″.

Both are super cute.

Mint Rhapsody in the US!

Just in time for the holidays, Mint Rhapsody is officially in the US so you can order your modern acrylic dollhouses, storage pieces and even the Play Pen, and not have to import them from Australia. This is so exciting! These are seriously stunning show pieces for your modern children’s spaces (and your Instagram feed!).

The Attic House comes in Milky (white), Glacier (clear) and Scout (green) for about $300.

This is a nice, playable, gender-neutral house that also looks great as a display shelf with books and other decor items. Neon Attic House colors are listed separately, but are the same price.

The Mini Attic’s are a bit smaller and are minimalist display pieces on their own. These come in Royal (blue), Ghosty (clear), Lunar (black) and Pina (a highlighter yellow). $155

The Noir House is opaque black acrylic with three stories and two staircases. It’s simply stunning. $300

Beyond dollhouses, the invisible Play Pen ($535) is the most unique product in their lineup. You can barely see it even in the photo! And isn’t that the feature you’d wish for in a playpen?

They Mint Rhapsody Storage pieces are also all in stock, including Hex boxes, Tri Boxes and Shelfies, which are clear book ledges. Who’s as excited about this as I am?

Rich or Reasonable: Graphic Hampers

It’s been a while since we’ve posted a “Rich or Reasonable” comparison but during my last trip to Ikea, this one totally jumped out at me. I’d been looking for a new hamper for my youngest for a few months now without getting excited about anything, but when I saw the Plumsa with its black and white pattern and leather handles for $11!!!, this hopped into my shopping cart. My older son already has the Ferm Living Trace Basket ($115) as his hamper and loves it, so this was an easy comparison.

I do love the Trace Basket from Ferm Living, and they have a few additional patterns and sizes you may love as well. It’s nice that you can coordinate all their bathroom accessories.

The Ferm Living basket is a little wider with longer handles, but the two hampers really do compare very well against each other. For $11, I recommend you run to Ikea right now and grab a Plumsa!

SISSY + MARLEY for ducduc

Looking through SISSY + MARLEY‘s portfolio of kids’ spaces, you may notice that they’re long time fans of ducduc, so you may not be surprised to discover their collaboration on an incredible new playroom furniture collection.

The showstopper of the collection is the Marley House Closet. The dramatic storage pieces can be customized with different finishes and start at $1700 a piece (three are shown here).

The collection also includes the Myles Desk ($495) Logan Stool ($250), and Jasper Toy Storage ($880 with desk and $385 without).

Many of SISSY + MARLEY’s kids rooms feature decorative book displays and I have a feeling they’ll be using their Ryan Book Ledges from now on ($645 for set of 3 classic shelves as shown).

You can also add a little extra fun with the generously sized Sebastian Chalkboard ($725) or the Sebastian Corkboard ($795).

Mix and match these pieces in your space to achieve playroom perfection!
