We’d like to share with you a few of the places Oilo has been featured during the first few months of 2013! Take a look at the variety of our products that have popped up in some of our favorite places!
:: The Simple Moms- January 2013
Here’s some of what they had to say…
“To say this product is awesome is an understatement. A better statement would be something like, “this product rocks my stinkin’ socks off! There…that’s better. I think this product is so awesome because of the personal simplification on my life that I see it has.”
“That on top is a thick, quilted top, so it doesn’t allow the messes to soak on through…Purchase a set, then a replacement topper and you are good to go! No need for anything else!”

"I love using a decorative or accent pillow on the glider," says Nursery Couture designer Katy Mimari. "If you personalize it, it brings a design aspect with it, and for practical use, it's perfect to rest your arm on while rocking that sweet baby."

Oilo Spotlight, Featuring Oilo’s Modern Berries Play Blanket
Read a spotlight on Oilo’s founder Annalisa Thomas here.
“…it is the perfect blanket to keep at home or take on the go to ensure your baby always has a clean, stylish play space wherever they are. Mom and dad can now turn a questionable area of flooring or carpet into a familiar and sanitary play area for their baby.”

As we mentioned before, we were so pleased to be included in Little Crown Interiors’ recently completed, gorgeous nursery for Lauryn Anabelle Martinez, the infant daughter of J.R. Martinez (Actor, Iraq War veteran and champion of “Dancing with the Stars” Season 13) and partner Diana Gonzales-Jones. Oilo products selected for this baby sanctuary include our Freesia Crib Bedding, Cohen Glider and Pouf, and our coordinating Blush Diaper Changing Pad Cover and Topper.
This stylish nursery is getting a lot of attention, and this week it is featured in the latest In-Touch Weekly.
Check out some of these newly released photos of our products and how they incorporated them into this serene space.
 
"We absolutely love our Oilo glider! It is one of our favorite pieces in the room and has such a unique cool design that is actually very comfortable. Coupled with the very pretty design of our Oilo Freesia bedding, both are standout pieces that truly make our dream nursery extra amazing!,” said Martinez and Gonzales-Jones.
We were so thrilled to work with Little Crown founders Naomi Alon and Gerri Panebianco on this latest celebrity nursery. Based in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, Little Crown Interiors is a highly specialized interior design firm focused solely on nursery and child spaces. Their accomplishments include creating stunning celebrity nurseries, spearheading philanthropy projects (particularly the “Hope” Crib, which was designed to benefit Breast Cancer Research), editing as nursery design experts for the industry's finest magazines, websites and blogs, as well as serving as regular design experts for the mega-website Project Nursery.

We are super excited to have several of our products recently featured in some awesome nurseries, magazines, and blogs. Check out some of Oilo’s latest acclaims!
:: J.R. Martinez Baby Girl Nursery
We were thrilled when Little Crown Interiors chose to use our new Freesia-Blush Crib Set in their design of J.R. Martinez (actor, Iraq war veteran, and winner Dancing of the Stars) and wife, Diana Gonzalez-Jones’ new baby girl’s nursery. Not only were we privileged to be a part of baby Lauryn Annabelle’s first room, we were also flattered to have our crib set chosen by the masterminds at Little Crown Interiors--known for their stunning celebrity nurseries!
You can see baby Lauryn Annabelle’s nursery and J.R. Martinez interviewed about becoming a dad in the following videos:
:: Biggest Baby Shower Ever Project Nursery Showcase
Big City Moms recently had their Biggest Baby Shower Ever event, and the folks at Project Nursery designed a beautiful showcase nursery featuring our Wheels motif crib set! They created a totally on-trend boys room, using the hot color combo of navy and orange…making for a clean, modern, and lovable look!
See Project’s Nursery’s Blog on their nursery showcase here.
:: Cool Mom Picks
Cool Mom Picks is one of the best blogs out there for parents. They track down all of the cool, high-quality items out there! They recently spotlighted our Organic Newborn Layette Sets saying, " If you're a fan of the traditional layette color route, Oilo has come to the rescue. Their soft, organic layette is available in a baby blue and a super sweet pink. But instead of the usual gingham, the print is very mod and cool.”

We were tickled to be featured in a detailed article on Kobiso.com this week. Kobiso is where “Technology and fashion meet,” and the newest and most sought after products from electronics to style are featured and recommended to other fashion forward women.
Here’s what they had to say about Oilo:
“Oilo is a fresh new approach to style setting nursery décor, chic baby bedding and designer home furnishing that are absolutely stunning.”
“My initial attraction to Oilo was their designs, they are fresh, clean, stylish, and modern. Their designs are simple but have a large pop to them with color. They are basic patterns that flair with color.”
They also had this to say about our new Play Blankets:
“With the weather being quite nice outside lately we have been using the blanket outside a lot so grass stains, which are tough to get out, were on this blanket. I just threw it in the machine and it was just like new. It washes very well and gets softer with each washing as well.”
"It makes a great throw blanket for the chair or back of the couch as well as a play blanket for the kids. The blanket is versatile and functional not to mention gorgeous! It holds up well to the wear and tear of being a play blanket and still keeps its quality and beauty. This is one of my must haves for every new mom. While the cost might be a bit higher it is well worth it because I know this blanket will last for generations to come and its multiple uses make it a fantastic buy.

From high heels to strollers, Mom Trends helps mom stay in the loop with all things stylish and cool. That is why we were also delighted to be featured in a Nursery Essentials spotlight by Mom Trends this month.
Some of what they had to say…
“Oilo is one company where you can find all of the essentials for your baby’s room while also discovering classic and crisp designs that you will love.”
"While viewing a selection of their bedding options, changing pads, blankets and car seat canopies I was struck by the gender-neutral color palette that includes tan, taupe, aqua, spring green, stone, citron and brown. I loved the gentle tones that weren’t super bright or featured characters. The prints that they include are all about the design and keeping things simple and classic."

At Oilo, we’re about turning your nursery into the most comfortable, clean, and carefree sanctuary in your home. While making decisions in planning and designing baby’s beautiful nursery, we encourage you to learn about proper use of your baby’s crib and crib bedding for optimal safety.
Safety Guidelines
Bumper Pads
:: No pillow-like bumpers
:: No sagging bumpers
:: Keep bumper upright and in position
:: Remove bumper when child can sit up unaided or pull to standing position. At this point, children may use a bumper to boost them out of their crib.
Oilo is pleased to provide 2-piece bumper pads that allow for secure attachment without unwanted gaps. Our bumpers are foam filled for standing durability, and this eliminates the tendency of bumper sagging and falling.
Crib Ties
:: Always secure crib ties to the outside of crib.
:: Double knot all crib ties tightly, with very short excess hanging loose.
:: Corner ties should only be tied to corner posts.
Oilo crib bumpers are designed with plenty of well-placed ties, maximizing attachment safety.
Additional Safety
:: No adult bedding in crib.
:: No stuffed animals in crib.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the greatest risk is to an infant sleeping in the prone position or in a crowded sleep environment that includes pillows, cushions, and adult bedding.
Parenting involves many choices. You’ll find yourself making lists of pros and cons to everything involving your child, and it is ultimately up to you to make the decision that is best for you and your baby. When shopping Oilo, parents have the option of purchasing a 3-piece crib set, including bumper pads, a crib sheet, and crib skirt, or the option of buying these pieces separately. If you choose not to use bumper pads, or remove them as baby gets older, Oilo crib sheets and skirts will still provide a distinct design statement! Look for Oilo’s new collection of patterned crib skirts debuting January 2012 to add some flair to cribs without bumpers.
