a black friday affair

If you are in NYC this friday , aka Black Friday , then head down to Kiosk from 7-10pm. A very special collection of goods for purchase from Andy Beach , aka Reference Library and Stork Bites Man , will be open to the public. He literally brings his blogs to life for 10 days. Kiosk is located at 95 Spring St in Soho.

bullseye

What do you guys think about Atypyk's Target Bib?

tap tap tap

Their teachers might hate it but your little drummer might love it. You can buy this Drumstick Pencil here.

LMNOP five gift guide

Issue five of LMNOP has just come out and it's just in time for the holidays. (I put together a little gift guide over on page 29.) This issue is also packed with an amazing gift guide and as well as great photography. Jenny and Ian have such a wonderful eye. It seems as though they have found their calling..... they even started a blog!

 

my past contributions to LMNOP can be found here and here

a two seater

The Lotta 2 Seater Kid's Chair looks comfy.

improve skills

The FrÖhling Puzzles by Beleduc improve fine motor skills and 3 dimensional thinking. I like the simple and clean design as well. 

  

someone hired the right buyer

Perhaps I'm late to the party but did you know that Old Navy is carrying a Charley Harper Line for the holidays???

  

call me

Thankfully our children now have no need for a plastic cell phone. Buy it here.

time for a change

Though they don't say this is a changing table ... I would like to open the floor for consideration. This is Stocka.

  

wicker i kinda like

This Weatherproof Wicker Garden Table and Stool set over at Urchin is not bad.

 

ill huff and ill puff

Muji is putting Kidsonroof in the hot seat with their version of the Cardboard House. (tip via Jan)

take a seat , take a rock

Andy found this sweet Ketta Kid's Chair and Fura Rocking Chair.

  

cover up

I like these art smocks / aprons for the mini over at Property.

pins

This Japanese wooden bowling set is sweet.

nest

“Questioned by their father architect, these children issued to want to nest like birds very far from the ground, with crossed of 2 main branches. On a simple principle of frame and oblique levels, the father drew the diagram of a “livable” unit where all the traditional functions of the room of child are present…. In this family of artists, by principle, the walls of a room are at the beginning immaculate, like a virgin fabric on standby on a rest. One counts on the successive or combined inspiration ones and others to animate them.”

What a wonderful and creative space. Taken from the amazing book L'art d'installer les chambres d'enfants, Alta Marie-Claire. (via mon cabanon)

step up

The Mandarin Butterfly and Bohemian Step Stools from Zia & Tia are kinda fun.

alright rocker

This Rocker from Joseph Riehl is low enough for an adult or child.

a sweet calendar

I really like this 2009 Animals Calendar from Storybymia.

 

feel the breeze

This Teak Swing makes me happy.

a stacking cabinet

Depending on how much drawer space your child needs, the TREE stacking cabinet from Chigo can help you out.

   

grand wildlife

Anthropologie's Dream Menagerie Rug is exploding with bold colors and wonderful graphics.

a natural setting

Natural beech is the material used to create this beautiful Child's Tableware Set.

a simple haus

Haus is a minimal doll house.

save up

Habitat has a great little Blackboard Money Box for kids.

a pre-wheeler

This little number from Angeles is simple and straight to the point.

monkey bunch

This is mobile is sweet.

tis the season

If it's time for new winter shoes for your mini, might i suggest these Trippen shoes.

 

 

a lovely place to sit

Everything in this picture makes me happy. The child desk and chair, the book rack, the map ..... unfortunately someone beat me to the purchase punch.

adorably analog

Back in the day, cameras that used film were the bee's knees. That's why I want my daughter to embrace the analog camera. The Ikimono 110 camera would be a perfect start!

 

socks

Like the socks, the bedside tables are always a pair. SOCKS is a couple of bedside tables, realized in beech wood with legs covered by recycled plastic cones by the textile industry. These plastic cones can be changeable for other colors.

Designed by Alfonso del Val Merry, these could play very well in a kid's room.

a 365 production

Jean-Luc Fromental and Joelle Jolivet created the amazing 365 Penguins book . Now you can get the same feel with the 24 Penguins Before Christmas Advent Calendar from the Moma Store.

a writing table

I really like the idea of a giant note pad for kids. Thats why when I saw the Schreibtisch from Martin Sämmer I got super excited. A mobile notepad-furniture consisting out of paper. The die-cut paper-sheets (about 1000) are joined together with (red pigmented) bookbinder-glue, leaving out the Handle (for a intuitive detaching function of each sheet) The object works as communication tool, sketch-board, notepad... (via oneplusinfinity)

a piece of cookie

I designed this headboard for Cookie Magazine's "Cookie Living Show House". The event has come to a close and I have had a few offers...but no serious takers on it. Here are some details about it :

-covered in Graham& Brown Eco Highway Wallpaper
-recessed shelves w/the top to serve as a shelf as well
-two under mount lights with an on/off switch that can be plugged into any outlet.
-6' wide x 4' high x 1' deep
-it was made with my own two hands with tons of love
-with all the press it got...it's kinda famous...and one of a kind

Please email me at info@minordetailsnyc.com if you are interested in purchasing this headboard. Local pick up only (NYC area).

Cheers

These Jumbo Paper Clips from Susy Jack would hold your kid's artwork perfectly! (via d*s)

colorful counting

I like these Count and Spell Color Recognition Beanbags.
