The second piece is from the Current issue of Time Out NY Kids Spring Issue. If you flip to page 28-29 for the article or click HERE to read online. As with all press, I am humbled. When I was approached by the editors for some kid spaces, I was happy to send along this super fun project! HERE and HERE are pics of the space before and at almost complete. and below are some images from the completed room. Note - the white table was custom made by Minor Details! (photos : Dan Hallman)

minor details + new york times
This past sunday, Minor Details was featured in the New York Times! The piece is by City Critic, Ariel Kaminer, who also happens to have a 13 month old. It was a great exploration in the art of babyproofing - is it necessary? is it something that we should pay an expert for? if you go over the top in babyproofing, are we preventing our children from curious explorations? In my opinion, it's super helpful to get a second set of eyes on your home if you have the gut feeling that you need it. Sometimes it's best to have awareness of concerns and hazards that might exist within your home. And then understand that it's up to you as to how much and how far you want to execute that advice. You can read the full article HERE.

musical experiments
Dead Man's Bones is one part Ryan Gosling and one part Zach Shields. A two piece band with a dark, haunting Elvis Presley meets Johnny Cash kinda vibe. There is something very erie, vintage and really freakin catchy about their songs. The duo recruited the children's choir from the Silverlake Conservatory of Music, suited in their halloween best, to aid in the song below. Pitchfork had a great interview wherein they discuss the importance of involving children into their music. I love the little guy at the end with his sword.....wait for it.....

lmnop 6
The latest issue of LMNOP has come out and again, I continue to be impressed with Jenny Lacey's curation and eye for design. In this issue, there is section of well-considered toys, coloring books, meal time goods, reading books, chalky tees, Hanne Larsen's amazing NYC loft with her four children, homegrown threads and a show and tell section by Janet and Stu from Three Potato Four.
If you find your way over to page 20, you'll find my contribution. I wanted to challenge myself and take a highly designed and playfully sophisticated child's room and cheat my way to achieving this designer look for a lot less. I hope you enjoy it.
Also check out LMNOP blog.... for when you just can't wait for the next issue to come out! They dish a hearty dose of great design for children and babies.
You can download the current issue here.

elementary education for parents
With little time and mounting pressures, parents will find a short visit to The K-5 invaluable. Through the short videos, ask the specialist (Ask the K5) columns and on-going blogs (The K5 News) with tips from real-life teachers, specialists and parents, they will find sound advice and helpful tips on subjects as varied as reading, writing, math, discipline, homework, home-life, nutrition and more: information and resources to make their children’s education a strong foundation for life.
The amazingly spirited and passionate Otis Kriegel is the founder of The K5. He also happens to be be one of the best elementary teachers in Manhattan with 15 years experience in community education and the arts. I have been very hard pressed to find a resource like this that actually addresses important issues. Issues like homework, discipline, reading comprehension, tips on getting out of the house on time, food allergies....etc. Issues that every parent with an elementary aged child goes through, thinks, seeks or needs at little guidance with. The site is only but a pup but I expect great things ahead. It's off to a pretty impressive start!

viva la 2008
What a wonderful year it's been....and I am so thankful for all my readers. Without you this little blog would be pointless. It started with the simple idea of creating my own little visual reference library. Made up of thousands upon thousands of my forgotten bookmarks. At the close of the year, it's turned into something far greater than I could have ever hoped. So thanks again for stopping by and please, make yourself at home.
One last thing, because of you, I was nominated for a Homie : Best Kid's Design Blog of 2008 over at Ohdeedoh. Go over and cast your vote. I am honored to be in the same seat as some of my favorite blogs as well! (It's also kinda great that one of my rooms is front and center in the Best of October posts over at Ohdeedoh as well)
Enjoy the rest of your 2008 and best of wishes for your 2009.
Cheers - Jenn

say click ..... take a pic
So this morning my daughter had her first ever school pictures done. Up until the last minute this morning, she wanted to be dressed in a princess gown with a crown. A request that I felt was just fine. I mean why not? Then I started thinking about the other kids and would they be upset that they did not get to play dress up for their pics? So we came to a compromise where for her individual picture, a princess she could be...but for the group shot (shown here) , she would have to dress in her normal clothes. Like I said, at the last minute, she changed her mind. However, I think she had a great idea! Why not dress up in a costume for your class pictures? It sure would make them more fun to look at in 20 years!
Thanks Tina for posting about this cool way to make your photos into an instant polaroid and for listening to my funny dilemma last night on the phone and encouraging class picture dress up as well!
