Feliz Cinco de Mayo from The MDB Family!

May 3, 2013

cincodemayoHeadquartered in Los Angeles (the heart of the West Coast) Cinco de Mayo is always a festive occasion at MDB. We take it as a time to celebrate the spirit of freedom and democracy…and as a time to indulge in a few tacos and margaritas! No matter what your reason for celebration, we wish you and your family a safe and festive Cinco de Mayo!

Nurseries We Love: Simone Harouche’s Nursery

May 1, 2013

PLAYROOM-BLOG_simone-harouche-nursery02PLAYROOM-BLOG_simone-harouche-nursery003Featured in the inaugural edition of Domaine Home, the nursery of super-stylist Simone Harouche is our latest obsession. We love the mixing and matching of materials, textures, and prints…wouldn’t this be an amazing space to grow up in? We’re also pretty charmed by Simone’s approach to nursery styling; instead of succumbing to more traditional nursery elements, she embraced her own style and ran with it! Although we love that amazing mural (by Alexandra Fisher and Kevin Johnson of clamdiggin), our favorite piece in the nursery is our very own Nursery Works Sleepytime Rocker (covered in a custom print). Traditionally offered in Ecru, Mocha, and Slate, the Sleepytime looks even more fab in gussied up duds! To read the whole piece on Simone’s home, visit Domaine Home here.
