Yesssssss. It's finally here! H&M now has online shopping for the U.S., and wow is there some good stuff! Super cute kid and baby stuff galore at prices that will have you filling your online cart to the max. I love the woodland animal theme they've got goin' on – here are some of my favorite items:
Camp Adventure Duvet Cover Set | Bobcat Duvet Cover Set
Bunny Duvet Cover Set | Deer Storage Baskets
I've been on sort of an astronomy kick lately, for reasons unexplained. I've been searching for just the right constellation poster for the new house, and while I haven't found it, I have come across lots of other fun spacey items that would be awesome for a kid's room. (p.s. The sand sculpture is gone!! I almost cried when I went by today. Like I had created it myself or something. I shake my fist at you, sand movers!)

Well, last room roundup was all about sunshine, this one is all about rain! Spring can be such a roller coaster sometimes. Surely you've noticed all of the trendy rainclouds popping up everywhere, and I've gathered up some of my favorites for all of you rain lovers.

All of this springy sunshine has really given me an emotional boost and made me think that maybe winter is gone for good... Yellow is such an interesting color – not only does it stimulate mental processes and the nervous system, it also activates memory and encourages communication. Basically all of the things you want to help develop in your growing child, right?

I realize most of our minds are drifting towards thoughts of spring and summer, which inevitably brings pops of color into view, but I couldn't help myself with this color palette. A simple black and white monochromatic scheme works so well for boy's or girl's rooms and gives everything a fresh, clean appearance. Concerned about the lack of color? Don't worry - those mounds of toys that they seem to keep accumulating will offer plenty of that.

Horses and girls just seem to go together, I think. Lots of little girls go through a horse crazy phase, and I was no different. Many weekly riding lessons, summer horse camps, and years of saving my pennies to buy curry brushes and hoof picks, which I stored away until the day when I finally got a horse to call my own. Although I'm far from the farm life here in the bustling Big Apple, there's still a little country in me and I itch for the day when I can have another horse. You should know – just in case you have a horse-obsessed girl in your life – that the obsession never really goes away...

The latest Serena & Lily catalog arrived a few days ago and practically every page had me ooing and awing. I really enjoyed the Moroccan theme in lots of the designs, and was especially inspired with this crib bedding. Add in a good dose of metallic and grass green for the rest of the room and I'm telling you, it's perfection (and gender-neutral!)

I have really been pushing myself to find more boyish things this week, can you tell? :) This week has started to feel more like autumn here in New York, and it is making me so excited. I hope you enjoy these earthy, fall-inspired colors!

I realize most Scandinavian interiors don't feature deep purple...you would probably see more of a sky blue or something. But I fell pretty hard for the purple Japanese fabric with tiny Dala horses (great for a bedspread!), and I discovered that a dramatic purple next to red is so wrong that it's right.
