Seasons change, Styles change...

It's hard to imagine during this very chilly time of year that warmth will soon be back with Spring! Just like the Seasons, styles have a way of revisiting us in new & refreshed forms. We've whole-heartedly welcomed back wallpaper and all of it's innovative and funky reincarnations. While buried in a pile of presents needing wrapping we realized just like wallpaper swathes a room in a certain tone, gift wrap does the same depending on the color, style and texture of a pattern.

As we all prepare for a festive holiday season with our loved ones, we'd like to share this hip headboard made using wallpaper! Spotted on Ohdeedoh.com, this project can easily be changed with your mood or the season. Recently, we were ecstatic to uncover stacks & stacks of vintage hand printed wallpapers in one of our favorite home design stores. Check back with us in the New Year to see what we snagged and the adorable bundle we built around the beautifully crafted print.

Merry, Merry, Happy Happy from bundle design co.

bundle " Gives a Hoot"...


We are so excited for the debut of our first bundle that is up for sale starting TODAY!

Our mission is to create coordinated product groupings for those who want to “nest” on their own but want an original, creative & inspired plan from a design consultant for their nursery, children’s room or family multi-purpose room. Our “bundles” consist of collected accessories that work brilliantly next to any crib, changer, sofa or furniture piece you already own and
never appear matchy-matchy or straight from the box. We believe in each of the products in
this well edited grouping; most items are eco-friendly, promote creative play and are perfectly
suited to grow with your child - whether a boy or a girl!

"Gives a Hoot" is a perfect name for this bundle as it's environmentally responsible and a portion of the net profits will be donated to a very worthy organization - Room to Grow. Read more below about Room to Grow's mission below and see details on everything you get when you purchase this charming assortment.



The mission of Room to Grow is to enrich the lives of babies born in to poverty throughout their critical first three years of development. Room to Grow's program provides parents raising babies in poverty with one-on-one parenting support and essential baby items throughout their children's critical first three years of life. Parents expecting a baby are referred to Room to Grow by selected prenatal programs assisting low-income families. Upon their referral, parents visit Room to Grow’s warm and inviting space once every three months from just before the birth of the baby until their child turns three. During their one-on-one appointments with staff social workers, typically lasting two hours, parents receive developmental information, customized support, and all of the needed baby items to ensure a healthy and secure start for their child.


Besides the good karma you will receive for supporting one of bundle design co.’s favorite Charities, you are also receiving all of the amazing and unique items below:

Please email us if you are interested in purchasing.

A good read...

Our favorite style mavens, Serena & Lily, have done it again; this time creating a beautiful book that educates children on how to start their own revolution.

We've had some work done...

We are thrilled to present our new look thanks to the genius behind Fox Creative Solutions. Keep checking back to witness more of our makeover and see the launch of our first children's decor "bundle".


We scour flea markets, boutiques, and big name retailers all over the world (literally, everywhere!) for items we believe are unique & captivating. From this unique collection we create coordinated groupings of lamps, side tables, shelving, as well as soft goods (rugs, window coverings, decorative pillows, throw blankets) that work with the furniture you already own such as a crib, changer, sofa; achieving a sophisticated/worldly look that does not appear matchy-matchy or "straight from the box".

Check back soon and help give our first bundle a new home!


P.S. Want a hint? Our first bundle is based on a wise animal that definitely isn't old:)
