For all of you expecting mamas out there who don't have a clue what to do about a nusery (like me), I would highly recommend visiting Blue Bench. I live in the neighborhood and wandered in one day without realizing that Blue Bench would be able to take care of all of my needs, start to finish - design, furniture, bedding, etc. I had no idea what I wanted, but left with the start of some ideas. I can't say enough about Susan Johnson, who designed my son's room. Not only did she bring creativity to the process, but she also listened to what I wanted, and together we created the perfect room. My son is almost one, and people comment on his room at every visit to our house; and what's more, I think it is a room he can grow in for years to come. Susan did an amazing job!

The last thing I wanted to worry about while I was working was pulling together a baby room. Where to start?? Thank god for Blue Bench in Tribeca. They helped me design the whole room: crib, layette, comfy chair (custom fabric), floor covering, and quality accents. The best nursery room personalized service I have found (and I researched them all). And best of all - no extra charge.
And they still remember my name when I pop in for shower gifts...

High quality merchandise. Excellent staff. Pricey but worth every penny.

My Daughter took me there and I went head over heals. This place was different. The furniture was very original. The toys were also very lovely. A bit pricey but its worth it. The owners are brother and sister I believe and were very pleasant.
