Normann Copenhagen’s modern version of the classic soap box cart is a brightly colored heirloom.

The GiggleBrush Designs store is filled with beautiful furniture, bedding and decor for the children’s bedroom. They carry beautiful products by Bebe Chic, DwellStudio and Caden Lane, amongst others, but what caught my eye, when I stopped by the website, were all the cute custom made products they offer for children.

They have a great selection of custom made furniture, toys and decorative items and all their products are hand painted using non-toxic water based paints and sealants. Many of the bedding companies, from which GiggleBrush Designs carry bedding, lets them copy their patterns, and this allows them to make custom made products that matches the bedding you find in their store!

Amongst the custom made GiggleBrush Designs products you’ll find are drawer knobs, picture frames, letters, step stools, wall shelves and toys. My favorite custom products in the store are the rocking horses, which can be custom made with the kids name painted on the side of the bow rocker.

There are several different rocking horse designs to choose from and I’m especially fascinated by the Plaid Rocking Horse and the Pastel Rocking Horse. Both have fun patterns and bright colors that will stimulate the child’s brain. The rocking horses cost between 119.95 USD and 179.95 USD.

If you’re thinking of getting a custom made gift for a child this Christmas, you should keep in mind that the delivery time on custom made products is longer than on other products, so you should order in good time!

I’ve been browsing around Fawn & Forest for the last half an hour, and I can’t get myself to stop looking around this beautiful web store! It’s clean aesthetic look, all the well-designed products, and the beautiful product pictures makes it quite pleasing to just browse around.

Many of the products sold at Fawn&Forest are environmentally friendly and handmade, another plus.

If you’re in the need of a well-designed memorable present for a child or a baby, you should have a look through the Fawn&Forest store.

The creative Brandy Angerbeck has made these wonderful pillow dolls. Besides being soft pillows and fun dolls they also function as beautiful decoration in the childrens room.

I love the way these Pillow Dolls have 4 different lines of fabric, each with a different background, and the motifs are drawn and silk-screened onto the fabrics in different ways.

The Pillow Dolls cost USD 40.00 and can be bought at Brandy Angerbeck’s site, LooseTooth.com. She also sells some art, cute rubber stamps and cards there.

Besides her webshop she also has a Cafe Press shop with lots and lots of different designs.

Dimples And Dandelions has a superb selection of lavish lamps and chandeliers for the children’s room. There are over 300 lamps and chandeliers to choose from. Pink girly ones and lots of different ones with frogs, animals, teddy bears and sport themes on them.

If you are looking for a chandelier for a boy, you should look through the girl section as well because they’ve forgotten to put the blue teddy bear chandeliers and the green frog chandeliers in the boy section.

The three chandeliers in the picture are from the Artisan Collection, and all lamps and chandeliers from this collection are all handcrafted.
