Who says books belong on rectangular book shelves? This tree bookshelf is beautiful by itself or stacked with books where by designer, Shawn Soh, states “a tree becomes a book becomes a tree”.   Love it, but note – we don’t know how to order one.  See more pictures and send inquiries to the designer’s website.

Spot on Square showed off their Roh Crib at this week’s ABC Kid’s Show that featured a stunning durable half-inch, BPA free, phthalate free, 100% recyclable, clear acrylic sides.  Now you can look in on your baby with an unobstructed view.

Husband and wife design team Jenny Argie and Andrew Thornton developed the Bam Collection™ with an art nouveau aesthetic in mind. The line is offered in three finishes—ebony, white and solid bamboo. Built with longevity, sustainability and innovation in mind, the furniture compliments any household while bringing peace of mind that everything purchased is environmentally friendly.  Bam also qualifies for the E-Zero standard, a global qualification that guarantees there is 0% formaldehyde emissions in wood products.

Summer’s about halfway over, and maybe the kids are looking for something new to do.  Go to foldschool.com and download free directions and templates to make your own cardboard furniture.  There are three pieces – a stool, rocker, and chair.  I think half the fun will be scavenging for the cardboard material you’ll need.

If you could have an easel and a desk that also doubles as a hideaway for your kids, then you would certainly want a Deskhouse.  Love the built-in chimney to hold your pencils and markers too.  Available for 254.00€ at Kids Love Design.

The new Bloom Alma crib is a bit deceiving in its form and function.  It looks like a beautifully built stationary crib, but is cleverly designed to easily fold up for space-challenged living situations.  While I’m not sure of the benefit of folding and storing a bassinet/crib for a new baby that’s always sleeping, I see the Alma as a nice solution for travel and visiting guests.  The Alma is made with birch from sustainable sources, uses low VOC finishes, comes with lockable caster wheels, and is adjustable to two mattress heights. 

Available for delivery exclusively at Giggle.com

The new "sable" color combo caught our eye from notNeutral’s kid’s furniture line that includes the twin bed, night stand, chair and table.                

The Toy Store is Oeuf’s newest addition to their children’s furniture line.  Three levels of swiveling organizing bins help keep toys in order and easy to access.  The beauty of Toy Store is that we can also see it in your kitchen filled your pots and pans and other pantry goodies.

Priced at $496 for either natural birch or walnut finishes, Toy Store will be available early February via Oeuf’s website.

Oh my, how cool is the Owyn Toy Box?  Plus, this colorful toy storage option found by Swiss Miss.
