I, like many, receive the standard Crate and Barrel catalog in the mail. I enjoy looking through it, but usually only find a handful of really unique and interesting things that I spend extra time looking at. Then, I started getting the CB2 catalog in the mail. Nice, but not great great. Don't get me wrong I really enjoy the items they offer and have bought a few things in the past. I have a set of blue blown glass dessert/parfait cups that I love and use a lot.
Then, a month or so ago, I was flipping through the newest catalog and saw a picture of one of their catalogs I didn't get -The Land of Nod. I had heard of The Land of Nod (or LoN as I'll refer to it in this post), but never really checked it out. So I headed over to their website and checked it out.
Basically, it was everything I love in one place. I, of course signed up for the catalog immediately.
They have really fun and beautiful things. While I don't have kids, I still love this catalog. My style of things I make is very animal/nature oriented with simple shapes and bright colors. Just check out the colors and patterns of the bedding. And that giraffe and other animal friends crib quilt below? So great. So LoN has been a great source of inspiration.
I never really gave Yetis a second thought, but I love this bedding and the throw pillows. The sheets with the mountains and trees (non Yeti) would be really fun for any room. Of course, LoN is aimed towards children, so the biggest sheet size is a full. Lucky for me, we have a full bed. Lucky for my bank account, the closer LoN store is 12 hours away. (I'm much more likely to buy things like bedding and furniture in person than through the internet.)
I mean really, just take a look at these throw pillows they have on their site. Baby, kid, adult....who wouldn't want this grasshopper guy on their bed or sofa?
Kids or no kids, LoN should definitely be checked out if you want some instant inspiration!
