So you’re having a baby! Great news. Let’s talk nursery decor. As it turns out, there is no actual rule that says your child’s nursery must be littered with plastic toys and unruly color combinations. We’re happy to report that it’s possible to make the nursery a place where anyone would want to spend time—whether you’re a newborn, a toddler, a parent, or a labradoodle. If you enjoy thoughtful, comfortable, well-designed spaces full of things you’ll be reluctant to part with when your baby is all grown up, you’ve come to the right place.
Storq creates the softest, coziest daily essentials for pregnancy, nursing, and parenting. They’ve partnered with the Homeless Prenatal Program in San Francisco to make it easy to pass on your pre-loved goods to families in need once baby arrives. You can visit their website here.
