Ethiopian CEO honors employees' fidelity to the extraordinary success of the Airlines
Addis Ababa, 18 April 204 (WIC) – The dedication and high commitment of the employees who identified themselves with the Airlines' Vision resulted in an extraordinary and remarkable achievement, CEO Tewolde Gebremariam.
In an exclusive interview with WIC, the CEO indicated that Ethiopian has managed to double its size today than it was used to be three years back, which is attributable to the devotion of the employees, the corporate governance and the management.
According to Tewolde, the total revenue of Ethiopian Airlines raised from 16.4 billion in 2010 to 38 billion ETB in 2013, which is more than double.
"The number of Airplanes also raised from 41 to 65 enabled Ethiopian to raise its number of passengers from 3.1 million to 5.6 million per annum," Tewolde added.
Despite the doubt some people had four years ago, at the launching of "Vision 2025", arguing it was too ambitious to achieve, Ethiopian's past three years' performance witnessed its attainability," the CEO said, adding that "the objectives set for every year have already been achieved in the past three consecutive years".
He also pin pointed that the Ethiopian cargo has become so competitive and African leading cargo in providing safe, market driven and customer focused services.
Currently, Ethiopian has more than 80 international destinations across 5 continents with over 200 daily flights, the CEO added.
Tewolde also praised the contribution of the corporate governance and the management for the success of Ethiopian in addition to the devotion and commitment of all employees.
The corporate governance enabled the Airlines to be autonomous to manage the operating environment flexibly, dynamically and responding to the mercurial environment quickly, he said, adding the government remained disciplined and allowed the management to manage the operation professionally.
According to the CEO, the management's prudence, sensitivity, ability and agility in cost minimizing, managing customer services and responding quickly to environmental changes respectively are keys to the success.
The CEO also indicated that Ethiopian, like other Airlines across the globe, has been facing many daunting Aviation Challenges.
"The lack of traffic right, lack of common continental aviation policy in Africa and very high taxation are some among other challenges of the Aviation Industry in Africa," Tewolde emphasized.
"The traffic profile of Ethiopian is 65 per cent transit and 35 per cent coming or going out of Ethiopia in which Ethiopian has to compete with African, Gulf, and European Airlines in Africa-China, Africa-Europe markets for instance," he indicated.
"Due to lack of common Aviation Policy in Africa, 80 per cent of the market share between Africa and the rest of the world is carried by the non-African carriers, which inflicts the profitability of African Airlines," he emphasized.
"Despite the availability of more than 20 oil producing and exporting countries, Airlines have been obliged to pay double price to world updated prices of jet fuel due to lack of refinery, taxation and transport that challenges the industry," according to Tewolde.

Kokomo to launch new curbside recycling program
The city of Kokomo is preparing to debut a curbside recycling program city officials hope can significantly reduce the community's trash-disposal costs.
Kokomo's new curbside recycling program will debut in April in the city of about 57,000 residents that's about 60 miles north of Indianapolis. Workers at local recycling centers will separate glass, cardboard and other recyclable materials for reuse by manufacturers while the rest is sent off to landfills.
Mayor Greg Goodnight said Kokomo spends nearly $1 million every year on landfill tipping fees paid for each garbage truck that arrives at a landfill with city trash.
Goodnight said if the city can divert about 35 percent of that trash to recycling centers, it would cut the city's annual tipping fees by about $343,000.

|I was wondering if anyone has used this product and what they thought of the results.
Our dilemma is that we have an outside covered patio area that for some mysterious reason the builder of this home covered the concrete pad with an indoor tile. The tile does look wonderful but is not feasible. The builder's logic for this is…"It is covered so slips should not be an issue." Well we live in the Houston area really close to the bay, talk about humidity! There are times where the whole patio is just covered in condensation.

Super Stylish Takes On Kids' Play Tables
We have a small, raw pine table and matching pair of chairs on our front porch. They're dotted with glitter paint, marker smudges and stickers. The chairs are a wobbly (they're desperately in need of having all their screws tightened). And they just might be the most used pieces of furniture in my whole house. This morning, my girls dragged the chairs into the living room for eating breakfast at the coffee table. On Sunday evening, they were out on the front lawn — where the glitter paint was used to make Fathers' Day cards. Last weekend, they hosted a lemonade stand on the sidewalk. They've seen it all: puzzles, tea parties, colouring books, Grade 3 math workbooks.
The set cost me about $25 at Ikea 7 years ago — perhaps the best $25 I've ever spent on the kids. Here's a similar version, they seem to have discontinued the ones we have. Here are 15 other great ways to get your money's worth from children's play table and chairs.
1. Cover it with oilcloth
My colleague Jaimie Nathan spotted this idea on the Yvestown blog years ago and promptly had a sweet floral oilcloth cover stitched up for the play table in her living room. Hers is removable (because her little table was an expensive piece she didn't want to put holes in), but if you're not worried about that, staple the oilcloth in place so it will protect the tabletop from stains and spills and is easy to wipe down.
2. Use it to differentiate kid and adult spaces
This handsome version works as part of a shelving installation in the corner of a living space, with upper shelves displaying elegant, grown-up accessories — and keeping them away from little fingers — while offering plenty of interesting playthings to keep kids busy down below. Outfit play tables with an array of books, craft supplies and toys so they're extra-inviting to busy toddlers and preschoolers.
3. Paint it out to match the trim
Another way to make a play table work in a home's public spaces is to re-imagine it to suit its surroundings. To make a wee play table fit in in her rather traditional West Yorkshire, England, home, artist Anna Roberts painted it in a soft robin's-egg blue to match her elegant mouldings and built-ins.
4. Coordinate it with your child's style
In a pretty in pink-wallpapered girl's room, a quiet, vintage-y table set works well with the casually hung own illustrations and collections of wee Calico Critters, while graphic black chairs and a bold red table complement the aesthetic in the modern white and grey room.
5. ...Or make it suit your style
The play table in her children's bedroom has an authentic mid-century modern look that resonates with Charleston, S.C., interior designer Angie Hranowsky — and it's harmonious with the look she's carried through the entire house. The table is actually a new piece from Room & Board.
6. Stretch it out to fit a crowd
While my tiny Ikea table really can't accommodate more than my two girls, these ones — at least when they're pulled out from the wall — have space for at last four wee crafters. The cube stools with this console-style desk all tuck neatly away, saving space, and can be turned on their sides to fit smaller and larger kids.
7. Go for a vintage vibe
Old wooden gymnasium benches make great kid-level play spaces. Press one into service as a table to seat three or four kids — and pair with mismatched chairs for a quirky salvaged look.
8. Pair it with a chalkboard for a schoolroom feel
Coat a wall in chalkboard paint — like Swedish stylist Emma Persson Lagerberg did here — or the surface of the table itself, as Australian furniture designer Mark Tuckey did on his Kid's Chalkboard table.
9. Set it up to host a tea party ... and more
Somewhere along the way, my daughter Tessa shifted from holding tea parties (the most memorable was tea for 12 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Jubilee two summers ago) to playing restaurant. Either way, a play table is indispensable — as it is in a play kitchen, where it can be pressed into use as counterspace when it's not set up for dining
10. Top it with a dollhouse
Every time the early-childhood educators set up one of the four tables in my 3-year-old daughter's daycare room with dolls, a dollhouse and tiny furniture, the table is swarmed. Why not steal a page from the experts! (The mod A-frame here reminds me of the dollhouse I had as a child in the '70s; it's available through All Modern.
11. Turn it into a Lego table
Transforming a surface into a mecca for Lego is as easy as adding a couple Lego baseplates ; a 25 cm x 25 cm sheet is $8.
12. Supersize it
When blogger Trina McNeilly of La La Lovely Things turned her dining room into a playroom for her four young kids, she plunked a big play table in the middle of it. I can't think of a more inviting centrepiece! While her space (which was photographed, above, for the Land of Nod catalog) has residual elegance from its time as a dining room, the other room here feels more utilitarian: ready to house a crowd for puzzles or painting without decorative flourishes to distract from the task at hand.
13. Get serious about arts and crafts
My kids would go nuts for this craft table, which puts all supplies right at their fingertips. If only our small house had an inch of extra space! (It's by Guidecraft, and I've also seen it available through DwellStudio and Sunny Street Toys.)
14. Let it inspire you to reuse or recycle other pieces
Flip sweet little garbage cans and add seat cushions and cut down old worktables (watch for them at flea markets and garage sales).
15. Make use of an empty corner
This little play table — chairs included — takes up perhaps eight square feet in the corner of a Malmö, Sweden, apartment, but offers space for two to colour, read or play with tabletop toys. Layers of lighting makes it inviting and usable.

Pennant Race
Childhood is finite. And despite our best intentions, and the urgings of our favourite parenting gurus, most of us can't help but let our kids get caught up in the hustle and bustle that is 21st-century life. I can't offer a fix for busy lives (I can barely keep mine on the rails most days!), but I've got a great idea for adding a bit of fun to your kids' rooms. It's something you can do this very weekend — and the kids can help!
Together, you can craft a quick and easy bunting or garland to make his or her room just a splash more festive and colourful for spring. It's surprisingly simple to achieve good-looking results, no matter how basic your paper-crafting or sewing skills are.
Let's start with the easiest project first. Print this free "I Love You" download designed by Two Brunettes and found on the Ruffled blog (they provide a full alphabet, so you could do your child's name instead), snip out the flags, glue them onto a length of string and hang. Done! Feeling craftier? Read on...
At our house, rainbows and polka-dots always mean good things. Put the two together, and they're going to spell f-u-n! Craft your own with paper from stationery or art-supply stores, or order these online from Hip Hooray party suppliers.
This joyous washi-tape garland reminds me of confetti: it's lightweight, vibrant and intense. It'd be a great rainy-day or car-trip activity. Simply sandwich a long piece of twine between strips of washi tape, fold the tape together and clip the ends into reverse points. (Used blunt-ended children's craft scissors, if you're working on it in the car.)
Here's a washi-tape garland in action in a sweet party image created by Estonian designer Marlen Kärema.
This garland of simple paper circles created by Sydney, Australia, blogger Nicola Brooke is even faster to make than glued paper ones. Cut dozens of same-sized circles from coloured paper — let the decor in your child's room dictate the palette — then stitch them together quickly with a sewing machine.
A few years ago at Christmastime, Tessa, her friend Claire and I felt pretty clever when we crafted paper-circle garlands like these from leftover giftwrap and red-toned Christmas flyers. We still use them every year on the tree! I also love these — made with clippings from vintage atlases by Jellybean Studio and available on Etsy.
A cloth bunting like this is going to be my next DIY project — it's just so doable. I've made plenty of glued-together paper garlands and buntings, but I haven't stitched one yet — in fabric or paper. I have a boxful of pretty fabric scraps from old projects; I'll just snip out elongated triangles with pinking shears and sew them onto a length of jute twine. It'd also make a great baby gift or shower decoration. (P.S. The pictured baby, six-day-old Elizabeth, and setting could not be any cuter!)
Colourful pennants look especially bold against chalkboard-painted walls.
With its dainty flags and slightly wider band, this bunting — in a vintage-inspired shared girls' room in London, England — looks more twee, but equally fun!
A clean-lined, neutral-toned wool version is a subdued alternative for a boy's room.
A simple white bunting turns this sweet outdoor playhouse into a beacon for adventure for the three young children of Michael and Jane Frosh at their home outside Sydney, Australia.
When I was in Australia a few years ago, garlands of felted-wool balls were everywhere, and I feel in love. I should have picked one up, but never got around to it. Since then, I've been thinking of learning to felt myself, but haven't had the opportunity. This one created by Rochester, N.Y., jeweller Jenna Thompson is used as a Christmas decoration, but with its rainbow colours and simple construction, it's just as fitting for a kid's bedroom or playroom. She has directions on her blog and also recommends these from Purl Soho.
Until I learn to felt, I'll make do with one of these: jewel-toned pompoms threaded onto string. I'll get my girls to help...

My Wish List
Before the household purges that inevitably come with spring cleaning, I'm going to daydream a little bit. If someone were to ask me for a list of 10 things I'd like for my kids' rooms — if money, time and space were no object, as well as their own predilections for all things pink, frothy and Disney- or Barbie-sanctioned — here's what I'd tell them!
1. Magical beds
I've always been enchanted by the heavily canopied beds I've spied when visiting historic castles across the pond or catching the latest well-decorated period film. While some richly tapestried number pulled straight from a chambre at Versailles would look over-the-top in one of my girls' rooms, these two beds put a fanciful, cosy spin on their more staid ancestors. Why not ... you're only young one, after all!
2. Vintagey industrial sign lighting
Old-school, signage-style lighting is at the opposite end of the spectrum, and it's a sure-fire way to introduce a gritty contrast to the frills and floral hues my girls are partial to. I love crisp, graphic shapes like arrows and stars.
3. A closet play nook
We actually have a double-depth closet in Tessa's room, that could also be opened up to the side of my closet, that I have dreams of turning into a secret fort/passageway.
4. A colourful designer carpet
Christian Lacroix's Abstract Malachite Opalin rug for Designers Guild, is playful enough for a kid's room, and has high-fashion cachet to boot. And Madeline Weinrib's colourful carpets have set the standard for cheery graphic pattern underfoot; I love how the brown balances the pink in this one.
5. Unique wooden beds
I'm partial to everything from the most ornate antique to something that looks like it's slapped together from old shipping crates. We've actually got an old four-poster bed made by my husband's great-grandfather, but we haven't yet come up with a suitable mattress for the custom-sized piece. Someday....
6. Curio shelves
I haven't gotten a read on Zoë yet, but Tessa takes after me in her quest to collect. Her dresser and desk are already covered with favourite knickknacks, and I really should figure out a better place for her to display her snowglobes, figurines, music boxes, etc.
7. A fun sculptural lamp
My girls already have a ceramic owl lamp, but these cartoon-like critters feel even more fun and quirky.
8. Eames Hang-It-All
It's a classic and it's rainbow-coloured! And I can justify the purchase as "an organization tool."
9. Whimsical bedding
The hippie in me still loves Indian-style patterned bedding, and luckily, companies like John Robshaw and Rikshaw Design produce brightly coloured versions of the sweet designs I've been coveting for years.
10. Old metal lockers
Like reclaimed industrial-style lighting, school lockers bring edginess to a room, and they're also great for forcing organization and injecting storage where closets are tiny or nonexistent (as in Zoë's room).

In the Swing of Things
As a child, I always loved Robert Louis Stevenson's poem "The Swing," from his A Child's Garden of Verses. It spoke to me, even at a young age, about the joys of soaring through the air and of the unique perspective a swing offered otherwise-earthbound wee ones. Several decades later, the swings are the first thing my three-year-old wants to try when she hits the park — any park, in any part of the world. And last year, "The Swing" was the poem my seven-year-old memorized and recited the first time she participated in her school's wildly popular Poetry Night.
The Swing
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all,
Over the countryside —
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown —
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
As the weather gets chillier and after-school play moves at least partially indoors, it's a great time to reassess interior play spaces and consider making a few changes. Like adding a swing! It won't quite afford the same views as an outdoor swing, but swinging in and of itself is just plain fun — and it helps kids work on gross and fine motor skills (swinging engages abs, arms and legs, and develops hand and finger control and strength), as well as a host of other skills like cooperation, balance and confidence. I've added trapeze swings to my roundup, too; they offer the same kind of fun, and can be used as sit-upon swings by all but the smallest toddlers, too.
Adding a swing inside isn't as out there as it may seem (but keep safety top of mind, see a list of tips at the bottom of this post). Plenty of parents have gone before, and even made the apparatuses look rather winsome in the process, coordinating with — or at least not clashing with — their decor.
Here are some of my favourites.
In our house, I'd consider something simple like this. A basic swing — a small plank and a couple lengths of rope, much like the one in our front yard — mounted in a wide doorway between the living and dining rooms. When ceilings are iffy (like our decades-old plaster ones that won't even hold a screw), doorways can be a great alternative.
This swing is made with $17 worth of supplies from Ikea. (Basic directions are posted here.)
Fun at Home with Kids blogger Asia Citro went above and beyond when creating this no-holds-barred playroom for her two young kids at their Seattle, Wash., home. A trapeze swing with rings and a boat-shaped swing (the Ships See Saw swing by Haba) are complemented by a climbing wall, art centre, and loads of toys and storage.
Among other fantastical decorating and lifestyle options (I'm thinking of Tom Hanks' character's place in the film Big or Ally Sheedy's in St. Elmo's Fire), high, roomy converted lofts afford loads of space for a swing or even two. They give kids a coveted place to play near their parents — and exposed beams make it easy to install one.
I'm not certain how one gets up onto the higher swing here... but it sure looks like fun!
For younger kids, consider a swing with a back and handlebars — like this one at journalist-stylist-designer Jennifer Jansch's home in Stockholm — and hang it close to the ground so it's easy to get on and off.
It might be tough to keep kids at the table during meals with a swing in the kitchen — but I give these Helsinki parents (Mom is Finnish fashion designer Tuula Pöyhönen) bonus points for style: the crafty swing is an old tire cut and styled to look like a horse.
Then again, installing a baby swing in the kitchen may be just the ticket for cooking dinner and keeping baby happy simultaneously.
A standard tire swing has an authentic 1970s playground aesthetic. In a black and white bedroom, this one looks graphic and bold.
Live in an old Victorian or farmhouse with big rooms and high ceilings? Then you've got space for a trapeze, as A Cup of Jo blogger Joanna Goddard's friend Sophie Demenge (of children's furniture and clothing company Oeuf) did in her Brooklyn, N.Y., homes. It'll be especially popular with kids who want to keep their skills brushed up between summers at Circus Camp.
Of course little ones embracing their inner princesses (like my two) may want to put their own personal touches on a swing or trapeze — ribbons, bows or glitter, as long as it doesn't interfere with the workings or pose any dangers to kids — to zhoozh it up a little bit!
Exposed beams are a natural spot for a simple swing bar in a nine-year-old boy's room in Copenhagen. (I love how the beams also act as a display spot for favourite outgrown toys!) Be sure to mount swings and trapezes nice and low for younger children.
Like trapeze bars, busy preschoolers and grade-schoolers can have no end of fun with a basic set of rings — especially when paired with an ad hoc climbing wall and partially hidden built-in bunk beds. Call it a private playground!
A swinging bed at golfer Greg Norman's house in Hobe Sound, Fla., is an over-the-top take on the indoor swing. Obviously, construction would entail an engineer and load test as opposed to just a screwdriver and a couple screws — but your child will undoubtedly have the best room in the house!
Safety Tips
You're the best judge of what's safe for your children, but here are a few things to consider.
• Use sturdy rope and screws or hooks to mount swings; consult hardware-store staff for suggestions.
• Give a swing a wide berth: leave enough space on all sides so that kids won't bump walls or furniture.
• With smaller kids, set rules about not using the swing when you're not around. Consider a detachable swing that fastens to hooks high up on the ropes so you can detach it when you're not in the room.
• If you're worried about spills, add a plush carpet or gymnastics mat underneath, and don't hang a swing near stairwells or areas where kids could have long falls to the ground.
• If you're uncertain about where your ceiling studs/beams are or whether aging plaster or drywall can stand to have anything mounted on it (ours certainly can't!), sturdy door frames can be a great option.

Woodland Creature Decor
Once you've planted a forest to get the woodland look in your son or daughter's room, it's time to populate it with forest creatures great and small. I'm frankly amazed at the number and variety of animal wall decals available today. Some are graphic and photo-realistic, while others are sweet and simplified, more Beatrix Potter or Wind in the Willows than National Geographic. Pick the one that suits your child and his or her room best.
For a baby or toddler, I like the precious pastel Woodland Scene from Australian company Love Mae.
While it hails from Paris, Mimi' Lou's Woodland menagerie is thoroughly pastoral. It's made up of the forest's smaller inhabitants: a bunny, squirrel, hedgehog, mouse and a flock of birds — perfect playmates for the littlest of kids.
Minimalist and modernist parents will probably err on the side of realism, and opt for critters like these Forest Friends by Kek Amsterdam.
Nathalie Lété's woodland animal wall stickers for Domestic have a similar aesthetic.
While it could just as easily take centre stage in a hipster's downtown abode, artist Charmaine Olivia's super-quirky Deer Wearing Gym Socks print looks just as fitting in a kid's room — putting a cheeky spin on the woodland theme.
On the flip side, there's Inke Heiland's charming floral deer decal. Handmade from vintage and designer wallpapers, her pieces have a light hand and distinct femininity that temper the stark silhouette shapes.
Bed linens are another fun way to add animals in a bedroom. These bunnies — on a petal pink pillow from H&M Home — could not be cuter for a baby's room!
Likewise, my dear friend Genny Burgess's Rabbit Patch designs for her company Little Auggie are utterly charming. We've got the quilted sham and toddler quilt at our house, and the line also includes sheets and even a sleep sack for wee babes.
For a more grown-up look, check out By Nord's deer, bear, hedgehog, moose and wolf duvet covers — the ultimate creature comfort!
Areaware's Large Wolf throw pilow has a similarly true-to-life look, while Ferm Living's Mr. Frank Fox throw pillow has a more playful aesthetic.
And here's perhaps the quickest way of all to adopt a menagerie: hang a mobile. Sebra's critters are quirky and cartoon-like, while the Tree mobile from Cloud Kissed Kids is a bit more quiet and whimsical. Whichever you choose, I hope you get as hung up as I am on woodland-themed rooms!

Woodland-Theme Bedrooms
When Lou Reed crooned "take a walk on the wild side," the subtext was risqué but his words ring true for adding playful edge to children's rooms this fall. A trip into the forest can make for great inspiration — whether you're looking for an overall theme for the room, or just a quick hit to refresh it.
Here are a few great — and widely varied — ways to get the look. And stay tuned to our Great Kids' Rooms blog for more woodsy inspiration over the next few weeks. Happy autumn!
Ferm Living's Dotty wallpaper has become a classic motif for avant-garde kids' spaces in recent years. The yellow version has universal appeal, but I also love the rose and grey colourway, which is surprisingly understated and grown-up.
Black pine trees look graphic on a white ground in this wintry-white Finnish nursery.
For setting a shady, magical mood, you can't beat the inky Black Forest mural (it's about 12' x 10') by Parisian artist Nathalie Lété for Domestic. With so many creatures peeking out among the foliage, a child will never feel alone.
In this bright, modern space, a wall clad in Cole & Son's now-iconic Woods wallpaper establishes a nature theme that's reiterated by a mossy green rug, leafy Midsummer ceiling light by Tord Boontje and a fantastic tire swing.
Saartje Prum's 12'-wide photo mural of a birch glade offers a sunnier, more verdant look.
If you're more of a do-it-yourselfer or prefer a folksier aesthetic, follow these simple guidelines for painting tree-trunk silhouettes on your walls.
Or if you're feeling particularly whimsical, take a page from Babyccino blogger Courtney Adamo's book; she painted a single leggy tree trunk in daughter Ivy's room, then dressed it with vintage wallpaper leaves from Inke Heiland.

Otomi Textiles
Otomi textiles are a perfect way to pull out all the stops and splash around a riot of colour. Made by the Otomi indigenous peoples of the central plateau of Mexico, the traditional brightly embroidered fabrics feature red and orange, green and pink, turquoise and navy flowers, birds and animals parading across a pristine white ground, and will inject fun and playfulness and just a dash of fairytale intrigue into kids' rooms.
Right now, Otomi textiles epitomize lush summer colour and tropical warmth, but in several months' time they'll also be great for helping us shake off any winter doldrums.
I love this Moorish arch-style headboard upholstered in vibrant fabric.
This classic shot from the late, great Cookie magazine (left) may have initiated the most recent craze for Otomi fabrics. If you're hesitant to commit to the expense of upholstery, mount a twin- or full-size bedspread on curtain rods behind a bed for a feature wall and giant headboard in one.
Sydney, Australia, creative director/blogger/shop owner Louise Bell complemented a rainbow-bright Otomi in her son Jasper's modern room with artfully arranged picture book spines and a vintage-style toy car.
A bright pink Otomi bedspread is mixed with like-minded fabrics in this girl's bedroom by Charleston, S.C., architect Heather Wilson.
I am always partial to a rainbow of colour and pattern in a child's room and would model a whole room after the multihued Otomi palette. But if you like a sparer look, try a single injection via a lumbar pillow from Etsy shop Casa Otomi ($200).
...or a framed Otomi-inspired print, like this one from Etsy shop ScoutandLilly ($18).
A rich embroidered Otomi bedspread (this one is from Etsy shop from YucuNinu) cheers up even the most sedate space.
I love Peter W. Gilroy's Otomi-upholstered ottoman ($790), handcrafted in Taos, N.M.
I'd toss a couple of these 24" x 24" poufs from Casa Otomi ($148) in the corner of one of my girls' rooms to cushion a cosy reading corner, or keep a pile in a playroom/TV room for flopping down on during movies or Wii games.
If you're feeling particularly crafty, try this more advanced DIY project by Brooklyn-based artist/textile designer Lena Corwin. She patterned a dresser in Otomi-inspired images, a project reviewed in her book, Printing By Hand (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2008).
And last, but definitely not least, if you're feeling superposh, stitch together a couple of these Hermès carre scarves to cover a silky throw pillow. It'll be luxe and lively!

Nursery DIY Projects
Don't you love those last few weeks before your first-born arrives when you have time for little projects around the house? I realize my free time is fleeting, so I've been making the most of it by adding some finishing touches to the nursery. We didn't actually paint the room, since it was freshened up a year ago, so that left more time for the details. Read on for some easy DIY ideas while feathering your nest.
We finally found an affordable, simple white crib, which allowed us to splurge on a healthy organic mattress. And my sister passed her equally simple white change table on to us for $0.
These are old Ikea baskets I've had forever and they happened to fit perfectly in our hand-me-down change table. But I thought basket liners would make them more clothes-friendly. I didn't want a fabric that was too baby-ish, so I went with a simple aqua and white stripe. This way, these baskets could look right at home in a laundry room or basement, without having to sew new liners for them.
I have a very talented mother. No, I didn't sew these myself, but I did measure and cut the fabric for her. She spent the better part of a Sunday sewing these together. They're lined on all four sides inside, and then we attached aqua ribbon to hold the liners in place. Again, not too baby-ish or gender-specific.
I dragged my hubby to nearly every furniture store in the city looking for the perfect nursing chair. Gliders, recliners, rocking chairs... there are a multitude of options out there, but I didn't love any of them, and most were around $1,000. We thought maybe we could invest in an armchair that could be used in the living room post-babies, but again, we weren't sold on any one style. And I didn't think the modern shapes of most of them would suit the traditional style of the nursery.
Then we found this solid wood glider at a yard sale for $50. It was already painted white, but had two awful denim cushions that had seen better days. I gave it a fresh coat of white paint — although it didn't really need it — and picked up some inexpensive batting at my local fabric store to make some new cushions. (I didn't know just how old those denim ones were, so I thought it best to toss them.) My mom covered the batting in the same striped fabric.
There are several vintage gold lamps and frames in the nursery, so I wanted to tie in a bit of the gold with pillows, too. My mom had sewn these years ago for a bed, so I pulled them out of storage for the glider.
I hand-sewed the same ribbon on the back of the chair cushions to hold them in place. I love the traditional lines of this glider!
I come up with funny little projects from time to time, excitedly explain them to my husband, and receive a look of confusion in response. But once the bee is in my bonnet, there's no turning back. I was convinced this gallery wall idea would be great.
I still have lots of children's books from when I was young, but I couldn't imagine cutting them up, so my first step was to track down some old children's books. I headed to my favourite antiques market, Mizener's, and rounded up these gems. They're not so old that they're worth anything (most were around $1), but they're old enough to have illustrations that evoke that sense of nostalgia. You don't want to cut up books that are actually ancient, since their value increases, but most of these are from the 1960s.
I also picked up some old gold and aqua frames at Mizener's. (Okay, a couple might be from HomeSense, but I loved the colours.) I also had a few gold frames kicking around from our wedding last year, waiting in Rubbermaid bins to be repurposed. I played around with the arrangement until it seemed right.
Then I tore out book illustrations that reminded me of my own favourite childhood stories — this was the best part of the project! Narrowing it down to 10 was difficult, though.
I wiped off the dusty frames and inserted the illustrations. Most of these frames didn't have wall-hanging hardware on the backs, so I had to attach myself (tedious). I started hanging them from the middle of the arrangement and worked my way out to the edges (usually the easiest with a scattered gallery wall like this). I didn't want the grouping to look too tidy, so I played around with it a bit, but it's still a good idea to leave the same amount of space between each frame. The change table is at the bottom left (see the first photo above), so I had to build it up a bit higher on the left to make sure flailing arms wouldn't knock any frames down. Safety first! But I actually like how it swooshes from bottom right to top left. Now that the gallery wall is all put together, my husband has caught up with my vision.
And now my nursery projects are complete. What to do now?
I'm due in less than a week, so I suppose I should wrap up at work. Until next year, everyone...

Royal Nursery Finds
The birth of Prince George Alexander Louis is big news, and decor addicts are wondering what finishing touches are likely to surround the littlest royal. Here are some suggestions that tip their hats to British tradition.
How can you say no to a pram that's named after Great Granny's beloved Scottish estate? The Silver Cross Balmoral is the Rolls Royce of strollers.
A humble wooden rocking horse suited Prince William fine, but if desired he can seriously upgrade his son's ride.
The Golden Jubilee rocking horse's expression is mildly terrifying, but the extraordinary craftsmanship includes a royal emblem embroidered on the saddle pad to commemorate the Queen's 50th year on the throne in 2002.
This British racing green roadster has the vintage look of European race cars, and will look sharp parked in a corner of Prince George's nursery until he's ready to take it for a spin.
Who understands more about royal needs than a royal himself? Viscount David Linley's handcrafted sterling silver rattle is made by one of the U.K.'s oldest silversmiths, and would look spiffy on the change table.
Block-print wallpaper by venerable English firm Farrow & Ball would look smart in a boy's room.
Restoration Hardware's Kensington chesterfield is fun and appropriately child-sized, if a tad irreverent.
When a full-blown Anglomania sofa may prove too much, this Union Jack Decorative Pillow, also from Restoration Hardware, still injects a hit of the Jack in a hip nursery.

Children's Desks
When my eldest daughter, Tessa, entered grade two, it struck me that it was time we helped her buckle down and start taking her weekly homework seriously. (She almost never had any homework in grade one, so it was all new to us!) We figured she needed a spot where she could do her homework and keep it over the week, before submitting it to the teacher on Fridays. We were lucky enough to be able to "shop" my parents' garage and pick up a little white desk with three drawers down one side for free.
The process — and Tessa's and my subsequent styling and organizing of her new desk — got me thinking about desks for little kids.
These aren't the big, serious desks designed for teenagers who spend their evenings penning essays on Hemingway and memorizing the periodic table. These are sweet simple spots for homework, arts and crafts, playing with a Matchbox car collection, and even displaying a few favourite treasures.
Here are a few that have caught my eye lately. I also had Tessa weigh in on which ones she liked best — why not get a kid's take on it all?!
Young sisters Saga and Selma share this crisp, ample built-in desk in Dalarna, Sweden. The design is simple, but the unit is effective, with lots of working space on the main surface, plus display space on the shelf above. Mini Ant-style chairs in petal pink are a fresh modern note.
Tessa's take: "I like how it's so long. I could use it with my sister. I like the colours of the buckets and how they're woven. And it's smart to have two bins for toys: if there's a mess in your room, just put everything in the bucket."
This metal and laminate desk and chair take me right back to grade school in 1970s Toronto, which I've never thought of as the epitome of style — but I must admit this desk looks cute as a button in this kid's room! It doesn't hurt that the room is painted with chic blue-grey faux wainscotting and that it's styled with an übertrendy bunny rabbit lamp. Add quirky art and some drawings washi-taped to the wall and the look is complete.
Tessa's take: "I like how they put stickers on to make it look polka-dotted. I have an owl lamp like this bunny light, and it's a good reading light, but not too bright if you're getting ready to go to sleep. The whiteboard is also a good idea for kids. You can write on it or do math problems, and with paper, you'd have to throw it out and it hurts the world."
While it looks like it might have come from an old one-room schoolhouse on the Prairies (yes, I'm thinking of Laura Ingalls...), this rustic, whitewashed piece is brand new — for sale through German site Car Möbel. From the looks of it, two kids could work together here. Use it as the centerpiece of a breezy, cottagey child's room.
Tessa's take: "I really like white desks! White goes with mostly anything in your room. On this desk, I like that you're boosted up high and that the slot under the desktop is open so you can put your books and pencil case in there."
This grey desk unit in the bedroom of three-year-old Esther Holm in Herrljunga, Sweden, has a similar look. The room has a Scandinavian sparseness to it, but is inviting at the same time, with a fur throw making the simple wooden-plank seat more comfortable.
While my kids are fond of cooler hues, I love bright reds, oranges and pinks — so these wee vintage desks are the bee's knees for me. Pieces like these are definitely ones that kids will grow out of, so look for secondhand wooden desks at flea markets and thrift shops and repaint them in bold hues.
Smaller vintage tables and chairs are also great to repurpose as desk setups for kids: they're usually indestructible and often come in whimsical designs and colours. This green table is juxtaposed with a mod desk lamp in bright red for a pop of colour and an industrial contrast. I like the glass jars as storage for small toys and beads, too!
Tessa's take: "I like its greenish turquoise base because turquoise and blue are my favourite colours. The desktop looks like our kitchen table and the bottom is the same colour as our bench. I like that it has a little display shelf attached to the wall. I would put my music box, my tooth fairy doll and my library books on it so I wouldn't lose them."
For a more polished look, try a table and chairs with more traditional designs. I love the way this one looks tucked in under an art wall featuring the occupant's own artwork, plus framed family photos and playful graphics.
Or for stylistic tension, pair an old wooden table with a bent-wire chair.
Chipped paint adds even more rugged charm. This red desk is a bold note in the room of blogger Alex T's two small children — she found it at a local consignment shop. As with other old-school pieces, papers and supplies can be tucked inside this one, keeping the look tidy.
Though it looks like it might have fit in Sally Draper's bedroom on Mad Men, this little grey retro-style desk is also a new piece — by French company Côté Guinguette available through Des Merveilles.
String shelves like these are all over the pages of Scandinavian home magazines and blogs. This unit in the home of blogger Lina Hedhill incorporates a desktop boldly covered in Marimekko's iconic Unikko pattern. Shelves above hold necessities.
An old bent-metal desk and chair set looks almost sculptural in two-year-old Mali's bedroom — in the funky Jan Juc, Australia, beach house of Simon Taylor and Kirsty Davey. The desk is simple and a touch austere, but I have no doubt it's practical for crafts, colouring and play, and will work for the minimal homework the average grade schooler receives. The accessories are spare but suitably quirky.
I've spotted a number of simple built-in, shelf-like desks like these of late. They'd be space-savers in smaller kids' rooms — and I love the simple, workbench design.
This wall-mounted box desk adds even more function than the standard shelf desktops above, with five cubbies inside to keep toys and school supplies organized and out of sight. A couple sturdy wooden magazine holders tucked in the corner hold textbooks and papers.
Tessa's take: "I like how it's different — how it's on the wall. Not all desks close up; it would allow you to make more room to play and only your matryoshka doll collection would show on top."
The yellow wall-mounted desk built by dad for this Danish kids' room has a somewhat similar design. It doesn't fold away, but it does have the added function of a storage shelf below the main surface and a few small drawers up top. A book rack above the desk gives this corner two-in-one practicality.
Danish mom Lone Skinnerup Ross turned a sleek, very grown-up mid-century modern teak shelf into a sweet little desk corner for her daughter, Alma, a spot where she can sit and draw or do arts and crafts while mom is working in the adjacent kitchen. Pink and turquoise accents make the serious piece feel fresh and friendly, as does the funky pinboard on the perpendicular wall.
