DwellStudio for the Masses

SunnyChanel — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 16:57:00 GMT

I’m the first to admit that I love a trek to Target. There ain’t no shame in my game. Being a red-blooded consumer, it’s pert near impossible for me to leave there without a bright red cart piled with snacks, socks and knick-nacks that I had absolutely no intention in buying. I give them stacks of my chips and they continue to up the ante, especially with the addition of their irresistible designer clothing mash-ups (Alice Temperley, Libertine and Proenza Schouler to name a few).

But it doesn’t end there. Now those evil geniuses are going after my kid’s college fund. DwellStudio has done a line for Target that includes this super stylish Soho Combo Changing Table ($279.99) a piece that would feel more at home in a high-end baby boutique than a suburban super store. Forget the baby, I think this is going in my room.

DwellStudio Crib Bedding On Sale

Chris Ford — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 12:07:00 GMT

If you couldn't justify that incredibly expensive crib you wanted to get for your baby, maybe expensive sheets seem a little more reasonable. Design Public has discontinued DwellStudio Baby crib sets now on sale for $190.

The pattern on sale is "Clover Blossom", and you can get some of the other pieces too (including the "Small Dots Blossom" crib sheet). Limited quantities are available.

Get Out Your Pitchforks, It's the Regular Diaper Bag!

Aaron Burgess — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 15:03:00 GMT

Our post from yesterday about a new Dwell diaper bag we're digging found Babble commenter Nolasmom raising an interesting question: We're always telling you about the most awesomest, coolest-looking new diaper bags, but really, aren't all these bags just expensive variations on the same generic tote with garish print? (Sorry, Nolasmom; realize we're paraphrasing.) Anyway, the comment also contained a challenge: "What does this mythical 'regular diaper bag' look like? No seriously, I'd like a photo posted."

[Cue ominous music.]

Below, from Graco (as it seems these things always are), is the archetypal Regular Diaper Bag. It's cheap; it works; but it also looks like a lunchbox with a kiddie print slapped on it. Full disclosure, this is just the bag that got my wife and me through two kids' worth of diapering, and we never had a problem with the thing. But one of the perks of doing this blog is getting to drool over stuff you wished you'd have been smart enough to register for, so here's hoping that whether it's from Dwell, DiaperDude, Skip*Hop or wherever, you've got the good sense to find something better (looking).

While we're on the subject, though, most diaper bags aimed at modern parents seem to follow one of three stylistic variations: the tote, the messenger bag/man-purse, or the modified backpack. Have you ever just used a regular old tote, messenger bag or backpack to carry baby's diapering essentials? I know I have, and it's saved me quite a bit of $$, too.

UPDATE: Seems this post has become a hot topic over at Diaper Bag Junkies -- which, by the way, rules if you're in the market for a bag of your own. Consider me schooled! Oh, and Teri at DBJ, I just might take you up on your offer to help shop for a new bag -- anything to get rid of the monstrosity I'm hauling around.

New From Dwell for Spring

Erin Behan — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 16:45:00 GMT

Is it possible to have Dwell Studio overload? I certainly came close when I got a chance to view Dwell's new spring lines yesterday. Though there weren't too many new additions for baby, the highlights were the travel cases, especially in the transportation pattern, and the baby changing pads in the small dots pattern. Another popular addition, according to the PR peeps who were guiding me around, the weekender, because what baby hasn't needed that perfect weekend bag for the trip to the Catskills/Hamptons?

Droolworthy: Dwell Baby's New Cashmere Baby Blankets

Meredith Broussard — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 17:00:00 GMT

Here at Droolicious, we eagerly awaited the launch of Dwell Studio's new winter line of stylish modern baby accessories.

Now that the new goodies have hit stores, I'm in love with this silk and cashmere baby blanket. It reminds me of making paper dolls when I was a kid-- these were the shapes I always tried to make, even though I ended up with dolls who looked like they'd been thwacked with the ugly stick.

This pink blanket would make a whimsical lovey, or a delightful addition to a modern nursery. $120 at Design Public.

First Look: Dwellbaby Fall/Winter Line

Gwynne Watkins — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 15:30:00 GMT

Last week, I had the privilege of getting a first look at the upcoming fall/winter line from Dwellbaby and Dwell Kids. Dwell is known for its distinctive nursery designs, which manage to be both sophisticated and kid-friendly. Our favorite new pattern is the Gio Aqua, which pairs an unconventional assortment of animals (squirrels, swans, snails, hippos) with geometric shapes in vivid shades of blue and brown. Here it is, accessorized by a cute kid:

More photos after the jump!

Supersoft blankets, designer beanbag chairs and organic offerings are all new for Fall/Winter. Please note: some of these items won't be available until November or December, so keep checking the website.
