Sunday roundup: Kids' stuff, shrooms & a link-up

Link below to one of your favorite posts!

I love modern nurseries but sometimes they all start to look a little alike -- with many of the same cribs and decor. So I was thrilled to see a fun design created by Jaime Klein Daley at the cool Room For Young Ones blog.

Jaime calls her design (shown at right) "Hollywood Regency." I think it's sort of modern glam.

The geometric rug and the starburst mirror give the room a little retro feel too. And the lines are nice and sleek.

Plus it's got the cool Hemnes dresser from IKEA, which readers of The Design File have picked for our virtual inspiration room redo.

Nice job Jaime!

You can get the details about the design and products and see Jaime's inspiration at her post.

Here are some other great posts to check out:

• One of my favorite Chicago blogs, Strange Closets, had a fun post about the proliferation of mushrooms in home decor. "When it comes to neo-retro 70’s home decor trends, mushrooms are the new owls," writer Tate says. He found the 'shroom at right at Architectural Anarchy at Andersonville Galleria in Chicagoland.

• Think design bloggers never struggle with their own homes? Pshaw! Nesting Place has a great post about moving furniture around and around until you figure out a room. And believe me, she seems like someone who would never struggle!

• Indiana Design, a blog by the Indiana Design Center, has started a series of posts highlighting design industry products, artists and companies made or headquartered in Indiana. The inaugural post features Ecotots, an eco-friendly modern furniture and furnishings company for kids with products in stores like Land of Nod and Modern Nursery. You can see the Ecotots Art Time Easel in fire at right ($180) and follow the Indiana series at the blog.
