Kim the Robot Clock Scares the Living Daylight Saving Time Out of Us

Aaron Burgess — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 15:00:00 GMT

Dunno about you, but if I were a youngster still learning to tell time, I'd want this talking robot clock situated somewhere other than above my headboard. Still, if your kiddoes can't yet read numbers but are dying to know whether it's time to get up, Kim the Robot could be a handy gadget to have around -- at least in daylight. Press her nose and her eyes light up as she delivers the current time in a robotic voice.

This mirror would look fantastic in a nursery, especially on a colored wall. Made from iron with twigs and charming birds. Measures 14.5"w, 20"h, 2"d. And the best part is the price...

In the Nursery: Cookie Magazine's Show House

My favorite part of Cookie Magazine is their "nesting" section so I was really excited to hear about their Show House. If you live in the New York area, you have one more day to visit it in person or you can visit the show house on-line. Cookie Magazine asked some of the top interior designers to transform a three bedroom apartment for the modern family. All the sources are listed, so you can copy the pro's! There are a few ideas that I'm planning on copying and I'm not ashamed to say it! In fact, I'll show you...

I'm in love with the above tree coat rack! The source for the coat rack is listed but it looks like you can't purchase it on-line which probably means it's super expensive. Design Public has something similar (and expensive) and so does Urban Outfitters.

Like in the above photo, I'm going to paint a picture frame the same color as my daughter's wall and draw an elephant climbing out of the frame. I was looking for a cool, inexpensive idea for her wall and this might be it!

In the below photo, I like the way they painted the wall the same color as the color. Very modern!

In the Nursery: Your Own Art Installation

These wallflowers remind me of an art installation. Give your nursery, child's room, or play room some drama with hot pink, green, or white plastic wallflowers. The white flowers would look fantastic on a colored wall. The set includes 25 varying sizes of flowers which can be mounted with included tacks, to any wall.

In the Nursery: This Room Only Looks Expensive

elizabeth leach — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 14:30:00 GMT

Now, before we all feel too inferior, this bedroom was designed by an interior designer who specializes in children's rooms so she is a professional. Jennifer Ward, Creative Director of Minor Details, designed her daughter's room using a mix of furniture and accessories from yard sales, Ikea, and Urban Outfitters.

I don't know who said it, but I'm going to quote someone, "Great design has nothing to do with cost". It's so refreshing to see a room that looks this great without spending a fortune. I am so inspired by the sophisticated colors of the rug (Urban Outfitters), the wall color, and the fantasy elements like the bird cage, which she found at a yard sale in Brooklyn.

I first spied this room on ohdeedoh, Apartment Therapy's nursery design site. (Ohdeedoh found this nursery on Cookie, so we're all blogging each other!)

... the letter N! Although it could have also been brought to you by any letter A through Z (save M, Q, V and Z). These 100% recycled metal letters are a must for a nursery or kids bedroom. They come in a variety of styles and colors (although you can't pick) and are just $8, available only at Urban Outfitters. If you prefer to know for sure what color the letter is, you might try Urban's enamel alphabet in pink ($14), although only in A, B, C, E, J, K, M, R, S.

Julia Rothman's Neighborhood Bedspread at Urban Outfitters

I fell in love with Julia Rothman's work when I saw what she and her pals at Also Design had done for enfant terrible.

And now those clever buyers at Urban Outfitters have scooped her up to do this kid-friendly (yet not condescending) bedspread for $32. And don't miss her gorgeous pillows for $24. That gazelle is so beautiful. Rock bottom prices for fab modern design.
