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.

Modern Nursery & Bumbleride Sponsorship of Postpartum Education & Support Strollerthon!

Modernnursery.com is thrilled to announce our dual sponsorship, along with Bumbleride, of the first annual Strollerthon to benefit Postpartum Education & Support.  The event is scheduled for October 2nd and will take place in Cary, NC.  This morning of family fun will feature a three-mile walkathon for teams and individuals, entertainment and activities for children, Tot Trot races specifically for kids, and fun for the entire family.  Prizes awarded to individuals and teams. 

Postpartum Education and Support (PES) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the emotional wellness of mothers. We offer support for mothers and their families; provide resources for health care providers; and heighten public awareness of perinatal mood disorders. This good work was started eleven years ago by a mother who experienced postpartum depression and anxiety herself and didn’t want other women to suffer in silence. Every woman experiencing a postpartum mood disorder deserves quick and appropriate treatment. All money raised will help provide necessary services for mothers and their families.

In addition to our sponsorship, we will be forming the ModernNursery.com & Bumbleride Team.  If you can't make it to the actual event, please consider making a pledge, of any amount, to help support this terrific organization that has helped so many women and their families.  You can also support PES by shopping on modernnursery.com, pokkadots.com or wallstickershop.com. Simply enter the code PES10shp at checkout between now and the end of October and you will receive FREE shipping (for orders of $50 or more) and PES will receive a donation of 10% of the value of your order . For more details and information on the event or other ways to help, please visit the event site by clicking here or feel free to leave a comment here and we will email you back.  

In addition, be sure to check out the other great sponsors for this event - CarolinaParent.com, StrollerStrides & Bounce-U of Apex.
