Now Playing...

Debuting this weekend is the highly anticipated movie, Julie & Julia, intertwining two great memoirs on some very strong women. One of these best-sellers started simply as a goal-oriented blog project with a curiosity of food posted during a young woman's crossroad in life. This movie gives accolades to the power of blogging - sharing passions, pains and everything in between with the world.


We have loved getting our business up and running while blogging about the amazing finds we come across during our design research. It's very exciting (& overwhelming) to think about the hard work ahead and what exactly this venture will evolve into; in the meantime we can admire some fellow bloggers who give us hope! If you haven't already, be sure to check out the delightful blogs below and check back in with us for soon-to-be announced updates on some new services from bundle design co.!

This is just a start to the many great design blogs out there... Let us know what else we should be reading so we can add to our hit-list!

The more the merrier...

A perfect post for a summer day in August during the height of vacation home getaways packed with friends and relatives. This genius space saving design turns any nook into a fun sleepover space - ready for little ones and big ones alike! Made possible by the expert's at Resource Furniture, this wall bunk bed system includes a completely integrated ladder which also functions as a bed support and a safety rail for the top bunk. A customized fold away desk can also be attached to the outside of the lower bunk. Check out their website for amazing small space solutions; we can't wait to use these pieces in future custom design projects!

Strolling the Globe...

Does your child's ABCs represent Amsterdam, Buenos Aires and Chicago?.. why not? Check out the website of distinguished stroller manufacturer, bugaboo, for a special section dedicated to child-friendly daytrip itineraries for cities all over the globe. Their functional products and these creative travel tid-bits coincide with their mission statement, part of which is: bugaboo increases freedom of movement and makes mobility flexible, simple...

Exploring with your family locally & abroad cultivates a worldly appreciation, but most importantly reminds everyone of the joys of home!

Print Model...

Brands do lots of scouting and pay lots of money to secure the perfect stylist for ad campaigns and catalogs, so why not take some of their cues and duplicate outfits and compositions for your own family photos? Some of the most adorable and natural expressions are set off by surrounding your little one's in comfortable items and colors. All it takes is a couple flips through any parenting magazine or children's websites for some inspiration. Say cheese (and save some cheese while you are at it) during a fun family photo shoot at home.

Back to School...

For those of you who don't spend as much time in Home Depot as we do, here's something that might interest your little (or big) co-eds. Glidden & Home Depot have paired up to create Team Colors, a collection of paints representing every one's favorite teams from Nascar, NFL, NHL, Soccer, even Colleges! Use the "team finder" link on the website to find official shades, paint a virtual room & view rooms of fellow fans. Something else to cheer about: these paints are chip/scuff resistant, stain resistant, highly scrubbable and have a lifetime guarantee.

If you or your teammate need some pointers, here is their 4 step game plan for the perfect paint job:

PREPARE THE PLAYING SURFACE:
Spackle holes or cracks
Make sure surface is free of flaking paint, oil, grease or dirt.
Prime with an appropriate GLIDDEN® Evermore™ primer for your project.

USE THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT
Use a 1/4"or 3/8" nap roller and a nylon or polyester brush/paint pad.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN
Stir Glidden® Evermore™ paint thoroughly.
"Cut in" 3" to 4" border around edges, doors and window frames.
Use roller to fill in walls with even strokes, going in the same direction.
Paint woodwork last, using even strokes.

THE WRAP UP
Easily clean up hands and tools with warm, soapy water.
Clean any spills right away with damp cloth.

Night to Day...

Picking out a crib marks a meaningful time for expecting parents. After all, many of nights in the near future will be spent with your baby around this comforting and protective piece of furniture. So when your little one outgrows this heirloom, don't ditch it in your attic. While shopping for your crib, pick one with a removeable gate (or with a toddler bed conversion option) to create a stylish daybed to use in any room in the house. Daybeds have become the rage in boutique hotels and chic lounges. We liked the bones of this Monterey Crib from Poshtots and could picture a slew of rustic modern pillows piled high to create a great seating nook for curling up with tea or a book.

Or layer tone on tone natural colored pillows with varying textures for a beautiful and breezy looking daybed like we spotted on Country Living's website. (and for a luxurious touch, add a canopy - how romantic!)

Survey Says...

This blog is a wonderful opportunity for us to pass along bits and pieces of things we admire from the design world , but our true passion is creating unique, whimsical spaces for children & family rooms.

What sets bundle apart from other custom design services is our approach... We start by having clients fill out our lifestyle survey, with questions such as:

What is your favorite children's book?

What songs/artists are considered family favorites?

What are some of your most cherished family memories?

Curious what we can create with your responses? Our mission will shine through in every detail: create a space inspired by your family's life and loves!

We are ready to help when you need us! Themes, colors, & furniture/accessory suggestions will arrive at your door in an adorable bundle and provide a tailored plan for those who want to “nest” on their own but want an original, creative & inspired plan from a design consultant.
