Ever since my niece was born, I’ve been curious about what goods are out there that can make her life (and her mother’s life!) a little easier. I stumbled upon a stylish and super-functional mattress called the Pebble Pure Mattress by Nook Sleep Systems that offers breathable comfort, water-resistance and natural support all-in-one.

This amazing mattress is designed specifically for infants and toddlers. The dual-sided embossed pebble design comes in a variety of pastel colors like blush, sea-glass and cloud-white.  The cover is easily removable and washable and is made from organic cotton, zin, polyester, eucalyptus with a nylon zipper. The core of the mattress is made from certified organic coconut with 1 inch of natural latex foam. The breathability of the mattress helps promotes a longer and deeper sleep plus an oxygen rich environment is believed to be critical for cognitive and physical development in infants.

I absolutely adore the Pebble Pure Mattress and it seems to provide the perfect way to give mothers and their little ones a naturally peaceful sleep!

The holidays can be an overwhelming time for some. These days, we are bombarded more than ever with advertisements that insist the way to “show our love” is by getting our loved ones expensive gifts. We stretch ourselves beyond our means, racking up credit card bills and battling with total strangers in-stores to get our hands on that last – whatever it might be. Try to remember that gift giving comes from the heart. It doesn’t matter how much you spend, it doesn’t matter if you get them anything at all…the holidays are about sharing an experience with your friends and family members. They are time to reflect on the last year by coming together to remember that there are people in your life who love and care for you. No matter what you decide to give to others this year, remember that material possessions are fleeting, the memories last forever so let love be your guide!

During the winter months, I dream of taking a vacation to somewhere…anywhere…warm and tropical. The Acapulco chair and the Innit Chair are modern Mexican inspired furnishings created by Innit that help fuel the desire. These indoor/outdoor chairs look like beautiful sunburst rays and come in a variety of bright and vivid colors. Their design inspiration comes from time-honored Mayan hammock weaving techniques with a touch of retro-modern aesthetic form.

At first glance, this collection of stylish furniture by Spectrum West looks like it is made from extremely fragile glass that I would never dream of seating on! Good thing all of these modern pieces are constructed from acrylic – which some say is superior to glass when it comes to furniture because it is half as heavy and has a higher transparency rate than glass. Additionally, acrylic can be shaped more easily with invisible seams when welded and polished correctly.

The acrylic collection by Spectrum West is functional, artistic, fluid and in my opinion, absolutely stunning! Many of the designs are created from a single sheet of acrylic and then run through a laser cutter for proportion control. Each design is then sanded, buffed and polished by hand. The remaining acrylic sheets are either re-used or returned to plastic manufacturers for recycling. These sleek and sexy home furnishings would look incredible in any modern or transitional home.  

It is a frosty December day in New Jersey and nothing would be nicer than to cozy up next to a warm fire. However, many of us don’t have fireplaces built-into our homes and we might not have the space to place a portable one either. Fortunately, Buhler offers elegant bedroom dressers and media stands with fireplaces inserted into the furniture piece.  The Logan and Medeira come equipped with sturdy shelves and drawers for storing clothing and personal items and spacious tops for placing a television or other media device. You can enjoy the luxury of a toasty fireplace while watching your favorite movie right from the comfort of your bedroom.

I absolutely love the look of striking accents within a minimalist modern home. The eye-catching Pizzaro Dining Chair designed by Zuo Modern Furniture has splashes of bright colors woven into a bold floral design.

This funky multicolored chair would pair nicely with a sleek and simply designed contemporary dining table to create a strikingly bold dining space in your home.
