We have a new bedding line!

We are so excited to have this gorgeous bedding line with superior quality in our stores. Annette Tatum offers a variety of nursery bedding sets, quilts, pillows and more. They have also created the perfect solution for those of you who prefer a “bumperless” crib. It is a really smart design, as it has the pattern and trim to coordinate with the bedding set of your choice! It gives it that finished look that is often missing when the bumper is omitted. This new sheet collection is called the Perfect Fit Crib Sheet.

 Sleep well with the new Perfect Fit Crib Sheets, offering up an alternative choice to the traditional crib set. Your favorite patterns creatively combined into one sensible sheet.”  - Annette Tatum

Dreaming about a Fancy Nursery?

So was our last client, who was longing for an upscale nursery for her baby girl. By using whimsical “big girl” artwork prints as our focal point, we built the room around these images. We used ornately carved furniture, a grand sparkling chandelier and also layered the patterns in the room, which gave it a sophisticated feeling. Let us know what you like best about this little princess’s room!

Did you know Bel Bambini designs toddler rooms too?

Check out our design choices from our latest toddler project. This was for a very special boy who loves planes, trains and automobiles. We kept the colors fun and bright. Don’t be afraid to use a large piece of furniture in a vibrant color, as we did with the glider. The pop of color adds a lot of character and helps draw out the same color in the other elements of the room, as it did in the bedding pattern we chose. Also, when using a theme…don’t over do it! Two or three translations of the theme is a good rule of thumb. What themed room would your child like to have for his or her room?

We would love to hear!

Newport Beach Grand Opening: A Weekend filled with Stars, Prizes and Family Fun!

Bel Bambini pulled out all the stops to host a door-busting grand opening weekend celebration for our Newport Beach Store on Saturday, March 24th and Sunday, March 25th with high-ticket raffle prizes worth over $10,000 and exclusive weekend-only deals.

Customers weren’t all about the taking and gave generously, donating very gently used and new items to Baby2Baby, an organization that provides essentials such as diapers and formula to families in need. We were very excited to work with Baby2Baby to help Los Angeles and Orange County families.

Celebrities stopped by to join us in the festivities.  VIP guests included actress Marisol Nichols (TV series “GCB”), actress Jessica Capshaw (TV series “Grey’s Anatomy”), co-founder of Honest.com Christopher Gavigan, and celebrity stylist and fashion designer Sophia Banks-Coloma.

Guests were treated as VIPs with pampering and entertainment with every detail in mind: tray-passed appetizers; complimentary services including chair massages and free photography sitting; and entertainment for the kids including balloon art entertainment, glitter tattoos and story time.

Thank you to all who joined us for our fabulous grand opening weekend–you made the weekend one to be remembered.  We hope you had as much fun as we did!

See all the fun that was had in the slideshow below!
