It’s hard to believe I wrote this blog promoting local baby Stores back in 2017!! A lot has changed since then, like most of these places don’t exist anymore. I too closed my store front of Everly & Monet/ Daisy Baby back in 2018. But that doesn’t mean I am no longer helping new parents prepare for baby. Quite the opposite. As an interior designer, specializing in nurseries, I have really helped make the process of designing a nursery fun, organized & easy. Let me show you how…………

OK, I know in this online world, who doesn't like to have boxes delivered right to them next day or even same day.  So many people want to support small local businesses.  I realize it may be a little out of your way or cost $2 more, but there are so many independent business owners out there working hard to provide you with an amazing shopping experience.  So if you want to get out & shop in person, here is a list of the best independent baby stores in the DMV:

If you are in the market for baby furniture, you've got to stop & see David and Bonnie Goldberg at Baby Blossom. They are a one stop shop for all your baby needs. From quality cribs to the latest & greatest in gear, you'll see why they just celebrated their 10th anniversary.

About:

Baby Blossom grew out of the frustration that many parents encounter in their search for baby and children products. The big box stores often make choices overwhelming and the availability of knowledgeable staff can be a challenge.  David & Bonnie launched Baby Blossom in 2007 to offer a place where you can have one-on-one conversations with product experts in a setting that offers just the right amount of choices.
