This modern Flensted mobile is so calming, it would put any baby in the mood for bedtime. The proud owner is Sweden-based artist Elisabeth Dunker, of Cookie house tour fame. And since we're on the subject, here are few other additions to her lovely home since our house tour. (We have to admit, these photos kind of make us want to move to Sweden....how about a Swedish Cookie?)

Here's part five of our Great Nursery Art Round-Up. For little dudes, the day begins, middles and ends in the nursery. It makes sense that a child's vision of the world is shaped by that bedroom--and the blankets, mobiles and artwork inside it. Thankfully, etsy offers photographs, paintings and drawings that will inspire little minds and paint a lovely picture of the world outside.

Barely Tangible, $15.

A Bit of Paris, $20.

Map Collage Hand, $20.

Family Sweet Family, $20.

Red, $17.50.

Here's one way to ensure that your kid's high chair will grow with him. Saw off the legs as he gets older. Designed by Maartje Steenkamp, the Droog High Chair comes 57" tall with equally spaced sawing guidelines and a small saw for you to change it as the years go by. Pretty straightforward, eh?

See our high-chair road test here.

"I loved the beautiful terrarium story in your Oct./Nov. 07 issue, but I'm wondering if you might know of an all-in-one ecosphere I can buy for my son's room--one that's more educational than decorative. He's completely obsessed with biology." --Samantha Cosler, Grants Pass, Oregon

Believe it or not, you can find exactly what you're looking for at Brookstone. Yes, the purveyors of personal massage wands and various other gadgets also sells four different-sized self-sufficient beautiful and fascinating worlds from EcoSphere. Each contains seawater, red shrimp, algae, and microbes. Kids will love watching the little shrimp swim around, and the best part is, you don't have to do anything to keep things running. (Just avoid extreme temperature changes.)

Somehow we missed this amazing bathroom when Ohdeedoh showcased it the first time around. (They're currently running through the best posts of the year, and we're honored that our Kids' Eye Kitchen is part of their favorite ideas in March.) Anyway, Jeanine covered the walls of this half bath in chalkboard paint, and as potty-training incentive, they wrote something on the wall every time he went, you know, in the toilet. There are reminders to wash hands and quotes from him. Bathroom graffiti worth reading...an excellent idea.

Here's part four of our Great Nursery Art Round-Up. Not to turn this blog into a total etsy love-fest, but I have to tell a little story. Last year, I wanted to do an etsy art round-up, but there wasn't enough strong art to complete a full post. But today, there's so much incredible art on etsy, that even after narrowing down my list for an hour, there was still too much for just one post. So, my fellow art-lovers, here is one etsy round-up, and this Friday, there will be a second! Just think of all those well-curated nurseries....

2 Zebras, $48.

Bicycle, $20.

Animal Equation, $20.

Paper Deer, $20.

Head Not There, $20.

Remember the fabulous home of Dutch designer Esther Veereschild? (See the full home tour here.) Well, she just made this incredible rug from her embroidery collection. What an engaging splash of art and color in the otherwise white living room. We love this, Esther!

Love this idea! A modern update on of the embroidered monogram, stitch your child's initials using 9-hole buttons from Charles & Marie. It's so easy, and any of the 26 letters are possible. (They would also be incredibly cute on backpacks or pillows.)

Roebuck Studio, which consists of husband-and-wife design team Kate and Barret Roebuck, is selling its line of modern--and yet still cute--kids' furniture through Mahar Drygoods. Crafted in Michigan, the pieces are made out of materials (birch plywood and nontoxic paint) from local distributors. Of the five easy-to-assemble slot design pieces in the collection, the Chick chair (above) and Trillium rocker (below) are our favorites.

"Every holiday I throw a party and have to break out my ugly chafing dish. Do you know of any that actually look nice on a buffet?" --Melissa Wolfe, Tacoma, WA

The smartly designed Cucina is head-and-shoulders above the old-school catering-style dishes.

Out of all the classic pieces, this Sur La Table one is our favorite.

Vintage and unique, 1950.com has a limited supply of these great antique styles.
