Graco® Read-with-Me® 4-in-1 Convertible Bookshelf Crib with Drawer - Hazelnut
Read-With-Me® was inspired by the cherished memory of my parents reading to me — moments that shaped how I see connection and family. I designed this crib to nurture that same bond between parent and child. Dual built-in bookracks keep favorite stories close at hand, encouraging quiet moments together. It’s a space-saving, grow-with-you design that evolves with your family’s needs. More than just a crib, it’s a reading nook, a storage solution, and a lasting piece of your home — thoughtfully crafted to support early routines that become lifelong rituals.
Graco® Read-with-Me® 3 Drawer Chest and Topper - Hazelnut
Designed based on the award winning Crib: The Read-With-Me® 3-Drawer Chest was made to be a complete nursery solution — combining storage, function, and timeless design in one thoughtful piece. Spacious drawers with anti-tip locks offer safety and ease, while the removable changing topper and integrated bookrack sides add versatility that grows with your family. I believe you shouldn’t have to compromise on value, function, or aesthetics — and this piece brings all three together beautifully. The Graco® Read-With-Me® collection is designed to support your daily routines while elevating the space around them.
Storkcraft® Amalfi™ Power Recliner- limited edition Mountain Brown Boucle.
Inspired by the beauty and ease of the Amalfi Coast, I designed this recliner to bring a sense of calm, comfort, and quiet elegance into everyday life. The sculptural, bulb-shaped arms offer both modern appeal and an ergonomic comfort — ideal for nurseries or shared spaces. Upholstered in plush bouclé, it invites relaxation without sacrificing style. With generous cushioning and a timeless silhouette, it’s designed to both stand out yet blend effortlessly with your home. Every curve and detail was chosen to support moments of rest, connection, and lasting comfort.
How to style it together:
I love warm, natural tones and soft textures—our hazelnut and Mountain Brown bouclé pieces bring a calming, cozy feel to any nursery. Add your individual touch with a plush rug, art, or other thoughtfully designed Storkcraft® accents to complete the look. Since parents spend so much time in the nursery, it should feel like a serene retreat—one of your favorite rooms in the home.

Storkcraft® Sicily™ Deluxe 3-in-1 Convertible Crib - Driftwood
I bet you thought I was going to choose the Santorini! Surprise — my favourite crib in our entire portfolio is the Sicily™. There's something about the Sicily™ that captures my heart every time I look at at: sometimes it's the beautiful arches; other times it's the chunky, cylindrical legs; always, it's the total package. The Sicily™ is the perfect blend of minimalist, understated style with timeless elegance. And when you transform it into a toddler bed — wow, the included toddler guardrail, with its matching arches, is stunning. So, yes, I have to give the edge to the Sicily™!
Storkcraft® Casablanca™ 6 Drawer Dresser - Driftwood
The Casablanca™ 6 Drawer Dresser, from our Art of Nursery™ collection, is simply gorgeous. The rounded posts, the wave details along the bottom drawers, the wood craftsmanship — it all comes together so nicely. I love how the monotone, understated, wooden knobs don't steal the show, and let the Casablanca™'s iconic waves have the spotlight. While I chose the Driftwood, I think the Casablanca™'s "French Riviera flair" makes it really nice in Sage or Blush — both of which compliment a Driftwood crib beautifully, with a pop of pastel color.
Storkcraft® Santos™ Deluxe Nursery Power Recliner Swivel Glider - Ivory Boucle
The Santos™ is a gorgeous chair. It's the total package: comfortable yet supportive, quality-crafted yet innovative (shout-out to the dual-USB charging port), and just overall beautiful. I love the pronounced seams along the chair: it's like a finely tailored fashion item. This chair deserves to be in Paris Fashion Week! Also, the Ivory Boucle is such a calming fabric option for the nursery — neutral, timeless, textured, and easy to blend with any change in theme or decor. Love the Santos™: versatile, beautiful, and built to last.
How to style it together:
With the Sicily™ Crib and Casablanca™ double dresser in Driftwood, and the Santos™ power recliner swivel glider in Ivory Boucle, you're going to have a calming, versatile, goes-with-anything, high-end, designer nursery. Whether it's wallpaper or solid tones, whether it's hints of brushed brass or soft pastels, these three picks will compliment any direction you choose to take your nursery in. With the Sicily™ and Casablanca™, you're getting two of the stars of our Art of Nursery™ collection, and the Driftwood color is timeless. Bring this understated trio to life with a statement rug and wall art!
