Your kids will be acting well older than their age with the Milo Table and Bench from Jennifer Delonge.

It’s like middle ages luxury, without the scurvy and beheadings. The Uptown Crib, designed for Nurseryworks by House of Honey ($1,500), puts a modernist twist on 15th century English design.

Yeah, sitting on those rain-soaked cardboard boxes in the basement? Not such a great idea. Try the Rip & Tatter Chair from Pete Oyler ($60) instead. This is some serious weave!
