The textile designs and furnishings created by Serena & Lily make us giddy here at The Cradle. Lovely, clean, and fresh – their style will give any nursery that extra special touch. Oh man, we’ve got a serious crush on S & L!

So what are they crushing on? Serena Dugan, one half of the dynamic duo, shares her current top faves with The Cradle.

1. My Rye Serena & Lily crib bedding set in my son Fisher’s nursery.  I love every crib set I design, but this one I swoon for.  Something about the color combination of the ocean blue and camel, and pattern and texture mix of the bandana print, ticking stripe, and natural canvas is, I think, quintessential little boy – A little bohemian and a little old-fashioned at the same time.

2. Any Taurus artwork or memorabilia (my baby’s zodiac sign).  I’m loving that look into the future of his personality, and I’m totally into the little bit of kitsch that it adds to his nursery!

3. Fisher’s little itty-bitty Patagonia fleece vest, with the retro label on the chest. Cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

4. Original art by Sara Westover, who works for us.  Her abstract ink-on-paper pieces are delicate and inspiring.  I just bought one for Fisher’s nursery. (Note: For information on Sara’s art, email her at sarabethmatson@gmail.com).

5. The organic “monkey pants” by Sckoon.  They are the cutest cut for a little baby, in great colors and super soft organic interlock fabric.  I own four pairs. There’s no need for my baby to wear anything else!

6. The paint color of Fisher’s nursery…one of Serena & Lily’s paint colors called “Paddleboat.” It’s a strong greenish blue or deep aqua.  Everyone who walks into the nursery dies over that paint color. I will never tire of it.
