The Hot List

Sam I Am

ducduc design director David Harris says his company's new Sam crib "keeps things light and playful, with pops of color." Harris believes parents should put their personalities into the nursery. His advice: Take cues from other rooms in your house. Why check your taste at the nursery door? Mix it up! It's not about a theme, it's about style. Use your favorite rocking chair or painting. Be creative. Your baby doesn't know style yet, it's up to you to make the introduction. Be expressive. Use your favorite bold color. Be independent.
