REST: Table and Chairs from Soopsori

Soopsori is one of my favorite toy brands, so I'm excited to see that they are working on developing a table and chair set for children. Their signature is the use of different types of natural wood and linseed oil finishes, and the absence of artificial paints and dyes. This prototype of a table and chair fits right in with their toy collection and has some neat features including adjustable table legs and chair seat, rounded corners, and even a little plaque on the back of the chair for having a child's name engraved if desired.

REST: Kid's Cherner Table + Chairs

Will somebody please rip this credit card from my fingers before I send my husband into a financial frenzy by purchasing this Cherner table and chairs? I was dying to get the adult size bar stools for our apartment, before we decided there just wasn't room for them...sigh. I've never wanted a designer chair so much. I nearly fell out of my (crappy IKEA) chair when I saw the kid-size version. Oh wow. Someone help. Please.

REST: Comfortable Compromise

Picture this family room dilemma: Kids want to watch TV. Parents want a relaxing place to read. Who wins? Both, if you can stack two spaces on top of each other! Yep, everyone looks pretty happy about this setup here.

REST: A Bed for Bedtime Stories

This little bed is such a genius idea and makes every bedtime story extra special. Even the little cut out square would be perfect for a puppet show to heighten the dramatic effect. Extra perk: a fort when bedtime story is not in session. Designed by Ridder & Clown.

REST: Chairs from Kiyata

Every now and again you come across a design for children that makes you gasp just a little as you try to process the beauty of it. These gorgeous carved wooden chairs from Japanese studio Kiyata did just that to me. What I wouldn't give for this rocker or the bunny chair! Be sure to take a look at the rest of their wonderful collection: everything from carved pens to basket handles which are just as beautiful as these items.

REST: Canopy from Bonton

So many fun things you could do with this gorgeous canopy - and I love the color! Available here.

REST: Lucky Boy Sunday

Lucky Boy Sunday has gained quite a following in recent years and always seems to be right on trend with their cute knitted objects and other room decor. This nursery bedding is completely charming and the knitted playhouse is begging for someone to take a cozy nap inside. I think I feel more relaxed just looking at these, don't you? I can't wait to see what they come up with for their next collection!

REST: Table and Chairs from We Do Wood

If I wasn't so set on getting a round play table, I would be really tempted to spring for this gorgeous Geo play table and matching Lilly chairs from We Do Wood. They come in three different colors – black, red and blue and are made from bamboo grown without chemicals, pesticides or herbicide. I only wish they came in a bigger size so I can have one as my desk!

REST + SLEEP: Furniture from Meubs

Meubs is a French online furniture shop which has a charming selection of kids vintage pieces. I really like the grey paint color that I keep seeing popping up - the French really seem to love that color. Here are a few of my favorite picks! (#3 is a potty chair which seemed particularly of interest to me since we just started potty training a few weeks ago...thank goodness it's been successful!)

REST: Children's Chairs from Fork + Pencil

One of my new favorite vintage furniture shops is Fork + Pencil, located in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. They have two locations, one smaller shop at 221 Court St. and a larger two-story warehouse at 18 Bergen St. Here you will find an enormous collection of treasures on consignment that will have you practically wringing your hands with confusion as to what to study first. It's pretty exciting. They also have quite a few vintage children's furniture pieces, which go quickly. After all, it's located in a kiddy hot spot where design savvy parents are constantly on the prowl for unique finds. I convinced one of the sweet workers there, Damien, to haul these cute chairs out for me so I could get pictures - bless him!
