Whether their mission is to save the world or simply make it to school on time, the heroes of comic books have long attracted the attention of readers both young and old. Rising to popularity in the 1940s and ’50s, kids often purchased the addictive series-style stories with money from their piggybanks. For many, these childhood treasures sparked a lifelong love of collecting the thin paper books. The best-loved copies may have dog-eared or worn pages from being read and re-read by the glow of a flashlight under the cover; however, some collectors prefer to keep their titles in pristine condition for posterity. Today, rare and highly coveted titles fetch top dollar at auctions, while numerous others continue to bring smiles to new generations of readers.

One mom’s love for tailored, traditional design shines in her newborn’s nursery
Creating an elegant, playful, and sweet space was the objective for both designer Chandler Bailey and her client Jessica Koehler when embarking on this nursery design. “She thought she was expecting a little girl, so she would send me inspiration boards that were all pink and flowers,” says Chandler, who had previously worked with Jessica and her husband, David, to refresh other spaces of their home. “Jessica has a traditional, feminine style, so even when she found out they were having a little boy, she felt she could bring in some of her favorite softer elements.”

Designer Brittany Nixon Brun creates a nursery for her daughter that works for both now and later
When Brittany Nixon Brun and her husband, Trey, learned they were expecting a little girl, Brittany immediately began pulling soft fabric swatches and looking for classic pieces that would speak to the couple’s love of traditional design. As the owner of Little Rock’s Brittany Nixon Creative, the designer says she wanted her daughter Anna Claire’s nursery to feel current yet playful and to be grounded with pieces that will stand the test of time. “I always advise my clients to think long-term, and I did the same in this room,” Brittany says. “I am drawn to the ‘let them be little’ mantra, but I was also careful to choose things that could be used or repurposed as she grows,” she says. For example, the changing table easily transitions to a dresser while a pair of étagères hold mementos and stuffed animals but can be filled with books in years to come.
