Mom Travel Style Design Board

 

It's so easy to travel in style with modern accessories from Timi & Leslie, Bugaboo, Skip Hop and Aden + Anais. This week's design board takes it out of the nursery and into the real world but still shows off stylish options for mom and baby. A must for the road is the Timi & Leslie Marylin II Convertible Diaper Bag which comes with all the travel accessories necessary for staying organized and looking fashionable. Coordinate with the Special Edition Bugaboo Bee Stroller in Purple and you and baby are looking flashy in this season's hottest color. Don't forget to bring along the Skip Hop Central Park Outdoor Blanket & Cooler Bag in Wave Dot so you can be prepared for an impromptu picnic in the park. Big sis can be in the know, too, with her ultra cool Skip Hop Little Kids Mouse Backpack and the plush Little Chuckanucka Uglydoll.  Finish it all off with an Aden + Anais Swaddle in Princess Posies, one for baby and one as a scarf for you!

You Got To Coordinate! Baby Planet and Timi & Leslie Stroller/Diaper Bag Combo

With the amount of time you'll spend with a diaper bag in tow and a stroller for the little one, wouldn't it be nice if they matched?  Who says the essentials should only be functional?  Take a look at the awesome pairing brought to you by Baby Planet, makers of strollers to improve the environment of your child and the planet, and Timi & Leslie, designers of gorgeous convertible and canvas bags. They teamed up to coordinate the gear and the resulting products are fantastic.  We've added them to pokkadots.com, just click on any of the canvas bags and you will see the coordinating stroller listed as a related product after the description. 

Not only are these products stylish but they are conscientious, too.  Baby Planet is doing good things for the environment and those in need by way of a stroller recycle program.  Here are some details about their work:

We at Baby Planet are very concerned with the current state of the environment and the continued overcrowding of landfills by discarded consumer products.  In an effort to reverse this negative trend we would like to help you recycle your Baby Planet product.  Additionally, we would also like to do our part to help families in need by helping you to donate your usable products.
If you feel there is still life left in your stroller, please click the donate button and we'll help you get it to a family in need.
In fact, we'll be happy to accept any brand of stroller and may also have use for other children's products.

So if you are gearing up for baby, stop by pokkadots.com and check out this beautiful combination - you'll be happy you did!  And check back in a few months, the designers are working up some new patterns that are sure to impress and help you style up baby.

New (Physical) Digs for the Modern Nursery Team

We've just moved over to a new office space so we can spread our proverbial wings! The space is fantastic and in a convenient location near other locally-owned, community based businesses. A little of the Richmond old with exposed brick and a whole lot of the Richmond new, completely renovated & with all the fixings. We are thrilled to have individual offices, an expansive warehouse and a real deal lobby - perfect for hosting visitors, taking a break, maybe even a little product preview party one day!  It was up to Shannon and me to make this space livable, functional, modern and reflective of our company's vision.  Personally, I think we nailed it! Take a look at the 'before and afters' and be sure to check out the links below to the products you see featured in the showroom.  A special thanks to Oilo for letting us display their gorgeous 'Wheels' Crib Bedding Set you see below...it really pulled the room together and is a great representation of the quality partners we enjoy working with daily.
