Nursery Design Inspiration


We could talk design all day and not get bored. Here are some lovely rooms to help inspire your nursery design.

Love the colours, the huge giraffe and the vintage prints.

The use of bold colour is not overwhelming and makes for a fun space for you and your baby.



This is an example of how great design doesn't mean great expense. The do-it-yourself feel of this room makes it warm and welcoming. Love the mobile!


This nursery designed by Dwell Studio features one of the most popular crib sets we have in the store right now: Skyline bedding. And did you know that the principal designer and founder of Dwell Studio, Christiane Lemieux, is from Ottawa?!


Fans of Domino Magazine may remember this nursery which belongs to the son of Jenna Lyons of J Crew fame.


We couldn't resist this celebrity nursery of Ms. Mariah Carey. A little over-the-top, but what else to expect? Lucky babies!

Mother's Day Gift Ideas



We know you dads have it all organized already, but in case you don't, here are a few gift suggestions from Red Chair Kids for that lovely lady who is the mother of your little ones.


The Petunia Picklebottom Cross-Town Clutch makes diaper changing chic and fun.


This gorgeous glider from Grace Designs will make all those late night rocking sessions a little bit easier.


Bug & Pickle’s Belly Firm harnesses the power of essential oils and vitamins to tighten up stretched skin and reduce the appearance of any stretch marks or c-section scars.

Being pregnant will place demands upon your skin like never before, stretching the skin on your belly to the limit. Bug & Pickle’s ultra-moisturizing Belly Cream helps repel stretch marks by increasing your skin’s elasticity.


This sweet piece from Canadian artist Heather Shaw would be a perfect momento of a special Mother's Day.
