First Look: Kalon Dresser

Nicole Feliciano — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 18:30:00 GMT

Sublime green dresser.

A decade ago, designs for the nursery were saccharine and oh-so-stale. Nowadays designers are putting their talents to work for the pint-sized aesthete. Take the Ioline collection from Kalon Studios. Michaele Simmering and Johannes Pauwen founded the modern eco-friendly collection for their daughter Io.

Last year we swooned for the IoLine Changing Trunk ($520 and up). This gorgeous and simple piece was the perfect solution to diapering. Now the changer has a new home…atop the Ioline 3-drawer dresser.

There’s nothing babyish about this sleek, modern dresser. Made with 100% all natural, non-toxic and eco-friendly materials and manufactured locally, this is the perfect piece to highlight on Earth Day. The wood is finished with an oil Kalon developed that is so green that it’s food grade. That said, we still wish it were less pricey. ($1795)

In The Nursery: Colorful Mason Dresser and Nightstand

Lisa Estall — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 19:27:00 GMT

This Mason Dresser and Nightstand would brighten up any nursery or bedroom.

With six drawers to fill up there’s plenty of room to store clothes and other items. There’s also a cubby in the back...

that accommodates a power strip. Kids can easily open the drawers by grasping the keyholes. I think that's a good feature for children who want to pick out their clothes for the day. This is made of sustainable birch wood.

Price is $499 and sold at Pottery Barn Kids.

The Sam Collection From Muu Is Officially Released

Chris Ford — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 19:00:00 GMT

We've already told you about some of the nursery and kids furniture on the way from Muu (the storage unit and crib), but the full line of furniture has now been "officially" released. In addition to the other pieces, they also have a dresser, nightstand and twin bed to check out. And like the crib and storage unit, all of the pieces are customizable to your taste.

All of the pieces from Muu are made from sustainable wood with non-toxic finishes right here in the USA. There are a lot of different panels to choose from, and I think the graphics themselves look pretty cool. I'm not sure I'd be happy with having furniture with such graphic elements on it, but you can change out the panels if you get bored with what you've selected (or your kid's taste changes) which is nice too.

What I really love about Muu is the twin bed. There really aren't a lot of great modern twin bed options for kids out there, and if you've got a little extra cash the twin bed looks like something that your son or daughter will enjoy at least until they go to college. Wether or not you let them enjoy it after they're done with college is entirely up to you.

The Muu Sam Collection is available at MuuKids.com.

A Carrot That Costs A Lot of Lettuce

SunnyChanel — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 07:17:00 GMT

Not to say you would spend several grand on a carrot shaped dresser, but for arguments sake, let’s say you could and would. In this fantasy world, where you decorated your child’s room with gigantic sized whimsical yet practical produce, this carrot dresser would be a must even with a price tag of $4900. Yup. Close to five grand for a Bugs Bunny-ish 5 ½ foot tall clothing receptacle. Forgive the pun, but that’s a lot of lettuce. If you just can’t resist, you can pick up one (no, they aren't sold by the dozen) from Posh Tots here.

Let Your Kids Draw On This Dresser!

SunnyChanel — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 15:30:00 GMT

Let your kids write on the furniture. Yeah, you heard me right. Let ‘em! If you’re used to yelling at your offspring to stop drawing on their dressers, this will be quite an adjustment. The Kendal Chalkboard Dresser by Pottery Barn Kids is a classic dresser but with a blackboard finish. Allow your children to draw and doodle all over their furniture, just don’t let them get too used to the idea, you don’t want your dresser to get graffitied up too. $549 here.

New from Nurseryworks: The American Collection

elizabeth leach — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 13:30:00 GMT

The Nurseryworks American Collection, designed by Lawson-Fenning, is a beautiful marriage of contemporary and traditional furniture. The crib and changing table have wood spindle legs and there is a wing-back rocking chair with tufted fabric. The result is a cozier feel to modernism and a playful nod to tradition.

The above rocking chair is $1,100 and the below crib is $1350. The price is high, like with all Nurseryworks furniture, but the style is completely original and the quality is impressive. Purchase the American Collection at Fawn and Forest.

Design with David Netto: Cabine Crib and Changer

davidnetto — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 15:12:00 GMT

Every now and then you get so excited about a product that you have to write about it even if you designed it yourself. I'm speaking of NettoCollection's first two-piece furniture group, and what I think might be our best-looking crib yet...

We call it Cabine because the combination dresser/changer makes it practical if you're short on space, and we like a little French 1930's modernism in our life, yes we do. Cabine is the next step in our mission to make baby furniture nondisposable and irresistable. The dresser is as chic to look at and as beautifully made, in oak and white lacquer, as any piece of furniture in the house. The crib turns into a daybed and a sofa after that, so if you love it it's yours for life. You do love it, don't you?

Available at NETTOcollection and giggle.
