Carrie, thank you so much for featuring the nativity set! It means a lot to us at Mod Mom Furniture since my late grandfather-in-law, Sam Brown, (who was a Baptist minister and carpenter) designed this piece many years ago. It's so special to see how many people are purchasing the replicas we're producing. Thanks again!! Kiersten

Carrie, I'm so honored and thrilled to be on your furniture finds list!! Thank you!! And I laughed at the rocking chair photo and the caption below it. Totally with you on that but I secretly wanted to climb into that thing and have my pic taken.

Carrie, thanks so much for posting the Riley Paige! I'm thrilled that you like this design, especially since it's a little less mod than my normal.

And Jackie, I totally understand about not spending hundreds on a toy box. For the Riley Paige, specifically, it take roughly 12-15 hours of cutting, sanding,drilling, clamping, painting, decoupage-ing, finishing time which is the main reason it's priced at $450. Also, I use good old-fashioned woodworking techniques using clamps and dowels as opposed to knock-down furniture construction (like Ikea) so the piece is built to last for years and years to come.

Hi everyone! Tammy, thanks so much for the write-up!

As for pricing, yes, I do sell it for $350 on my Etsy store (shipping costs not included) because a large portion of my business still comes from Etsy and from folks who live in Los Angeles. I'm in LA so if you live in here, you're best bet is to buy through Etsy. If you live in or on the East Coast, do some comparison shopping between my Etsy site (I can provide shipping estimates - just send me a message) and my retailers, like Tiny Decor and Modern Tots. You may save some money buying through a retailer!

Either way, I'm thrilled! I'm such a small operation that having retailers out there also selling my goods makes it that much easier for those who don't know Etsy to find me.

Gorgeous crib and high chair! What a talented guy!!

reef,

Hi everyone,

Mod Mom here. Yes, you're absolutely right. We'll make sure the site is accessible to as many browsers as possible. In the meantime, if you are a Mac user and can't reach the site and are interested in seeing the furniture line, shoot me an email at kiersten@modmomfurniture.com. I'd be happy to send a PDF of the current line.

The space is gorgeous! Really amazing! Like you, I've had a hard time paying the top dollar prices for mod kids furniture so I started building my own about a year ago here in LA. Lucky for me, I'm the daughter of a carpenter and love to design and build and am now selling my creations in the LA area ( will ship nationally). If you have a chance, check out http://www.modmomfurniture.com for affordable (really, I mean that), modern kids furniture.
