Crabmommy loves...little fluffy bunnies

Glamour Magazine

I'm feeling unusually pleased with myself: I found some très fab 1940s original children's illustrations (for pennies on eBay) and am about to frame them up for Crabtot's new(ish) room. Instant vintage sweetness!

My search came about when I realized how dull small kids' bedroom walls can be. Too often one is tempted to put up pics of Winnie the Pooh or put up Mother Goose rhymes or whatever. Don't get me wrong: I heart Winnie and nursery rhyme art can be perfectly charming and all. But there are other ways to liven up a nursery or kiddo room, and lucky for you, I've found a couple of screamingly cute alternatives for your delectation.

I'm not a big one for fluffy bunny themes but who could argue with this gorgeous Asian-inspired poster from artists Kozyndan, which can be ordered for $28 from Mahar Drygoods?

Look closely (as pictured in the detail at right) and you will see that what first appear to be cherry blossoms are actually little piles of delicious bunny rabbits! Yummy!


People, is this not the loveliest thing you ever did see for a little girl's room? Even my crabacious heart melts at this vision of sweetness. The poster's creators have some other bunny stuff that's a tad freaky, like a tidal wave of bunnies that would probably terrify most children, but the blossoms really do it for me.

And how about this little bunny print from Etsy vendor Barking Bird Art?

I can barely stand how cute this print is! And there are plenty more adorable ones from this seller, each only $9, like this ridiculously dear hedgehog toasting a marshmallow!

For heaven's sake, what are you waiting for? Snap 'em up!

And that concludes today's cheerful post on kids' room decor. Brought to you by Crabmommy: often crabby, occasionally sweet, always working hard to keep you edutained. (Okay, so I wrote that entire sentence just to be able to use the word "edutained." It's my favorite silly word of the moment.)

Right, best I run off and attend to my daily mom-flap exercises. Moms, it's not too late for you to join the throngs that have joined me via Yahoo's Shine network in a vow to vanquish midsection flab. And if you have signed on to attack your soft postpartum mom-tum, stay tuned for a forthcoming post (next week), where we can all check in and report our progress. Ugh...feeling all depressed now. Why did I start this? Hate exercise. Groan.
