Editors Best of 2010: The coolest art, decor, and kids furniture

Our art and decor categories are some of our richest, which always makes it hard to pare down our faves of 2010. Here, find just a few of our many, many favorites.





I think everything about Custom Toy Portraits is just magical. There's no better way to preserve your child's favorite stuffed friend--or even you own. -Liz


I'm so inspired by the bright, quirky art by Hsing Ping Pan. So fun for a baby nursery but still fitting as your baby turns toddler and kiddo too. -Kristen

I'm so happy that Obrien Schridde created a new line of handmade frames that are as elegant as the originals, only at a new, affordable price point. -Liz



If you thought mobiles were just for a nursery, think again. The mobiles from Frazier and Wing (now also in collaboration with DwellStudio) would be beautiful anywhere in your home. -Kristen



Wallpaper is back, and the designs from Paperboy Wallpaper are so cool, you can stick with them (ha) for a very long time. -Liz


I love that decorating a room doesn't necessarily involve a paintbrush or hammer and nails. With wall decals like the urban inspired Alphabet City by photographer Joanne Dugan, you can make your baby's nursery super cool and personal in a matter of seconds. -Kristen


With drop-side cribs officially banned, the Luxo Crib from Bloom gives you a safe, beautiful new way to get that little sleeping baby into your arms faster. It's like they reinvented the crib. -Liz



The Lil Davinci frames made for storing kids' artwork, is about the most brilliant thing in the world. Besides the artwork, of course. -Liz


With almost everything in my house kid-ified it's nice to find beautiful goodies just for me. I'd take one of everything at YogaGoat, the Etsy store of talented artisan Amanda Ryznar. -Kristen
