inspirational style for Family Living

by Summer

Sometime inspiration comes not from actual interiors but a grouping of colors, products & shapes. Something well styled. I recently found these well styled spaces by Sofia of the blog Mokkasin.

This was a project styled for the Swedish magazine Family Living - ideas for bringing the summertime & outdoors in ... to live the summer life year around. Fun concept, especially for Sweden! Anyway, I found it really inspiring and love the ease and sensibility of the 1st grouping.

summer's interview & top modern nursery picks at dwell.com

by Summer

I was recently interviewed by Dwell about the Modern Nursery & Baby. I had a fun time reflecting about the "modern baby movement" (which agreed, sounds silly... but once upon a time it was all  frightful & frill!) and picking out a handful of products for the accompanying slideshow.

I was energized to realize that there is so much more going on with modern nursery these days beyond the general overview I gave in the interview.  So if Nicely Nordic, Woodsy Goodsy and Big Blue Sea sounds exciting.... stay tuned! I have something amazing in the works that you're going to love.

ever/after love

by Summer

I love ever/after clothing - have I mentioned? I did today on Instagram with a sweet picture of my middle son. Little boys in black v-necks get me everytime. So cute!

ever/after designs clothes that fit well. I don't like when t-shirts on boys are too big - wide or long. It bugs me. ever/after's clothing line fits! No inappropriate bagginess or weird fitting tees. I also appreciate ever/after's trademark simplicity.. with ease.

Non-fussy, well styled & fitting clothes kids can move in. And for baby? Certainly. Baby v-neck tees....!

Shop ever/after. 
ps. isn't EVER a cutie?!
