three fun growth charts // modern kids products

I was going through a stack of collateral from last year’s ABC Kids Show and I was reminded of this great kids company in California called Pincushion. They have some fun growth charts and I love the diy pillows. I thought I’d throw together a quick post of three modern growth charts. What do you...

Sarah - Thanks for the comment, James. I also like the idea of the door jam. Especially in big families. It’s fun to have that history.

james - as much as I love these, there is something iconic and comforting about the pencil and door jamb. It’s kinda nice to realize the door jamb isn’t going anywhere soon.

Sarah - Thanks for the comment, Tais. I see so many great kids products but I always wonder which ones get used. I love your idea that the heirloom one could be extended through a few generations. I love the simplicity of that one. Thanks for the comment!

Tais - We have the Heirloom growth chart. I thought it would be a really special thing to save for my son. Not only can we use it for him, but hopefully one day he can add extra pins for his kids too. We also mark the wall in his bedroom at grandma & grandpa’s house – because there’s nothing quite like walking into your old room and seeing that. best, Tais

Kids Room Concept // Modern Cowboy

I saw this $26 vintage, horse plaque over on the High Street Market blog and thought it would be perfect for a Cowboy-inspired kids room. Of course, I couldn’t stop with the horse plague so below are a few ideas for what could be a very vintage but modern Cowboy room for a Wild-West loving kid.

Abby - I love the wool blankets and the grain sack pillows. They would look great in Milo’s room :)

morning at the deYoung (cont.) | modern family photographer, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles

I downloading for this past weekend’s shoot at the deYoung and thought I’d share. Not only did I have a really lovely and stylish family to photograph but we had my favorite San Francisco weather; not too cold with a bright but slightly overcast sky. Perfect.
