Just in time for the giveaway, Newport Cottages offered us a sneak peek of the original sketches for this custom collection.

You heard it hear first ladies: metallic is the new black! We are in love with this glamorous trend for summer. By opting for a metallic bag, you can go minimal on the jewelry and use your handbag as your bling factor! One of our favorite shining styles is the tote. The Botkier Wanderlust Anthracite Shopper offers the perfect way to travel in style this summer. For a smaller yet functional option, we can’t get enough of Rebecca Minkoff’s Honey Bunch Bronze Clutch. The perforated leather and rich hue have us lusting for this bronzed-beauty! Browse our full collection of handbags and find your own metallic must-have!

When planning a baby and kid-friendly playroom, it should be all about celebrating the joy of childhood. Whether you’re re-purposing an extra bedroom or transforming a finished basement, you can design a space that’s fun, functional and organized. As part of our Nursery Week series, we found two swoon-worthy playrooms and curated a collection of products to help you get the look! The first space, from a modern yet laid-back Los Angeles home, utilizes child-sized storage pieces, a soothing palette and safari animal toys and décor. With our product picks, like the outdoor-inspired Arteriors Coconut Bead Lantern or the practical Spot on Square Storage Shelf, you’ll be on your way to achieving this look in your home!

A more feminine option, this playroom inspires hours of imaginative adventures with whimsical pink and white mobiles, furniture and toys. The vintage-inspired children’s table makes the perfect spot for arts and crafts and stuffed animal tea parties. We chose pieces like the lovable Maxi Rabbit and hand-painted AFK Toy Storage Chest to help you capture this sweet aesthetic for your little one!

Welcome back to Nursery Week at Layla Grayce! When creating a nursery, we want to be sure the crib integrates with the room’s overall theme, yet still makes a statement. So we took one crib – the ducduc Regency – and made it the focal point of three classic, eclectic and elegant spaces. We discovered that this crib is versatile enough to fit a number of design styles! For the first room, we created a vintage Hollywood aesthetic with a glittering gold chandelier and ultra-feminine furniture and accessories.

If your taste is less romantic and a bit eclectic, we’ve got you covered. In this room, the crib anchors the furniture and accessories’ bright colors, playful patterns and unique textures.

A calm and soothing option, this nature-inspired collection plays on the crib’s rich maple wood construction. We’ve taken a touch of the outdoors into the nursery with a tree-shaped bookcase, floral bedding and a woodland owl mobile.

Today, we’re kicking off a weeklong blog series all about nurseries! From stunning room designs to our top shower gifts, each post will give you a crash course in Baby 101. And what better way to kick off the series than with this year’s most-anticipated arrival: Prince William and Kate’s royal bundle of joy! While they’re keeping mum about the gender and nursery, we couldn’t help but dream up ideas for baby boy and girl rooms worthy of the newest royal family member. Channeling Kate’s iconic fashion style, we built each design around both timeless and modern elements, like Newport Cottage’s Regal Tufted Panel crib or the Currey & Company Crown Chandelier.

Every new mom and mom-to-be knows that a great diaper bag is a must-have for a baby’s first few years. Our practical side tells us that this on-the-go bag needs convenient bottle pockets, comfortable shoulder straps and a spacious interior for storing everything baby needs. But, if you’re anything like us, you’re also thinking about its design and style! So to start the weekend off right, we’ve compiled a list of our top ten favorite functional AND fabulous diaper bags. Whether you’re all about colorful prints or prefer minimalist fashion, we’ve got you covered with our extensive diaper bag collection!

Dream Bedroom, Favorite Item, Obsession

This Northern California home captured our attention (and left us a bit envious!) with its distinct and timeworn beauty. The homeowners embraced the antique charm of their 19th century Victorian and created a stunning space with warm and inviting character.

Each room of the Sonoma wine country home is a lesson in the art of subtle contrasts. The family’s rustic, light-filled breakfast nook and dining room exude vintage French influence, combining weathered wood with aged metal patinas. Cast iron chandeliers, zinc tabletops, gilded wood picture frames and white porcelain dishes add visual appeal.

Every nook of the home maintains an eccentric mix of décor while still managing to remain family-friendly and inviting. A linen slipcovered sofa blends seamlessly with a glamorous crystal chandelier in the living room, while salvaged wood decorations, linen bedding and a jute rug continue the use of rich textures in the guest bedroom.

One thing that particularly stands out in this space is the use of warm white walls and neutral color. While white can sometimes create a stark look, the owners utilized antique metal mirrors, ornate lighting and carefully curated accessories for a welcoming and lived-in aesthetic.
