Kidding Around

For kids, the chic parents who adore them, or anyone with a taste for playful design, I've put together these fun groupings of items that are currently inspiring me.  Gone are the days of pastels and mass marketed cartoon emblazoned designs.  Today's offspring demand sophistication, their parents demand style so chic that they actually want guests to see the toy bin... and even if you aren't a parent (or maybe don't want to be) then perhaps you can still see yourself turning on this adorable Owl Lamp cozying up on the couch with a cup of tea, and cracking open that fabulous novel you know you've been dying to read.  Style is style... whether for big or for small.
