hile on a shopping trip with a friend in search of baby bedding, Catherine Fitzsimmons realized that all of the choices looked the same. She started to wonder if there was another option that would embrace babies and parents with a bit more style while still maintaining a sweet, infant look. Enamored by the tradition of Indian block-printing techniques and inspired from her previous trips to India, Catherine used her experiences and contacts to set her project in motion. Thus, Rikshaw Design was born and, as Catherine Fitzsimmons believes — and thus designs — bohemian babies are everywhere and just need a way to show their style.

Burp your baby in style with these hand-quilted Rikshaw Design bib and burp cloths, contour-shaped to fit your neck… and for 24 hours only, enjoy 10% off all Rikshaw Design’s Bib and Burp Cloth Sets!

Decorating can be difficult; we have been there. At times, we decorate with themes — whether it be planes, trains or automobiles — and then there are times that you have found the perfect bedding and must determine how to pull an entire room together around this bedding that has captivated you.  Design Diva is here to help! We’ve explored the world of sports and dinosaurs and, though we will continue to explore theme rooms, today we launch a new series… When that must-have bedding has caught your eye and you don’t know where to go!

If you haven’t discovered Rikshaw Design, you are truly missing out. Catherine Fitzsimmons’ designs are amazing, and the super-soft voile fabrics, made in India, are truly inspiring. Love Rikshaw Design’s Jaipur Crib Bedding Set? Delicate and stunningly girly, the Jaipur Crib Bedding Set is brilliant. Decorating help to follow!

Love Oilo’s new lighting… The Modern Berries Double Decker and Spring Green Cylinder Lights would be a fabulous complement to Jaipur! Add Paula Prass’s Bird on Branch and Bird with Nest Canvas Wall Art — available in two different sizes — somewhere along the wall. Rikshaw crib sets don’t include a crib sheet, but not to worry! The Cotton Monkey Pure White Organic Crib Sheet is just right to set up the nursery just as Rikshaw Design pictures it! Add the necessary changing cover {though we’d all like to forget about the diapers, they are a definitely reality of babies!} — we’ve chosen the Little House Diamond Pink print — and toss the Serena and Lily Kate Boudoir Sham onto your glider and… Voila! Room complete!

Modern nurseries come in many shapes and sizes.  Traditionally, we think of pinks, blues, yellows and greens for our dear sweet newborns.  Today’s nurseries, however, embrace bold new color palettes and, as Emeril would say, kick it up a notch.

If you are searching for a bedding set in a color anything but traditional, let the color orange tickle your fancy. A few great reasons why orange is becoming all the rage:

• Though green and yellow have been the traditional gender-neutral colors, today’s modern families are looking for more than soft pastels, and orange is a perfect solution. Orange baby bedding works for both baby girl and baby boy nurseries.
• The color orange — which can range even in itself from carrot orange to burnt orange to tangerine — looks great with a multitude of other colors. The color orange blends with hues from chocolate brown and turquoise to yellow and lime green. Pinks and blues, in the right tones, pair expertly with orange in a contemporary, non-overwhelming baby girl/baby boy way. Therefore, if you are looking to decorate in gender-friendly tones, you will have great color coordination in a surprising multi-colored palette.
• Designers today offer a multitude of orange crib bedding sets to choose from along with all of those necessary nursery accessories. Whether you are looking for a sweet baby theme, such as elephants and giraffes, or are looking for modern geometrics, designers today offer orange bedding for everyone!

Three of our favorite orange crib bedding sets:

Litto Kids Magic Garden Crib Set:  Fun orange crib bedding with bright turquoise, lime green and yellows.  A contemporary forest scene in amazingly retro colors.  The print-bumper reverses to an amazing orange-and-white {which is also the same great pattern used on the bumper ties}.

Olli & Lime Billie Crib Bedding:  Amazing chocolate brown, stark white and orange together in a pattern that reminds me of when I used to create spiral paint pictures as a child.  Creatively simple, elegant and just plain perfect.

Aunt Bucky Pinky Panda Crib Bumper: I love the way Aunt Bucky combines a retro-geometric print with cartoonish panda bears. which lend both complete sophistication and an element of fun to the nursery {and who cannot love Aunt Bucky’s MADE WITH LOVE ribbon ties}.  The bumper is pictured with Aunt Bucky’s Orange Crush Crib Sheet but would be well suited with any of Aunt Bucky’s sheets, which are perfect for mixing and matching!

A few other amazing orange sets:  Inspired Crib Bedding Geox Orange and Green Crib Bedding; Serena & Lily Ben Crib Bedding; RIkshaw Design Udaipur Crib Bedding, Pixel Organics Lions, Tigers & Kittens.

It is one of those moments that will define the rest of your life: The moment that it is determined –whether planned or unplanned — that you are about to raise a baby in this world. It is a moment that comes and goes so quickly — the precise moment that your pregnancy test is positive, the precise moment the adoption agency says the paperwork is complete — and yet the impact of that one moment will last the rest of your life.

And so it goes, from that moment on, that you start decorating. In preparation for baby’s arrival, you spend hours — if not days — sifting through magazines and browsing through stores to determine which exact nursery set is exactly right for your impending baby bundle.

An idea developed in ages past that babies could only rest in cribs decorated with pastel pinks and baby blues. Modern baby bedding, however, is a far cry from this belief and crib bedding is now offered in dozens of colors — in hues from turquoise to purple to brown. These days, modern baby bedding is bold, bright and unique. Modern baby bedding is full of character and personality, typically with clean lines for design-conscious parents.

Polka Dot Peacock is proud to salute our modern designers – full of style, grace and just plain fun – as we kick-off our “Redefining the Nursery” series.

We will feature some of our favorite (and best-selling!) crib sets from our amazing designers, who have all helped us redefine the nursery:  Area Baby, Aunt Bucky, Baby Star, Caden Lane, CottonMonkey, Egg by Susan Lazar,  Inspired Crib Bedding, Litto Kids, The Modern Baby Company, Modern Basics, Olli & Lime, Pixel Organics, Rikshaw Design, Serena & Lily and Whistle & Wink.
