Amelia Jane

Amelia Jane is a children's boutique located in Summerland, California. Summerland is a cutie pie little understated community just south of Santa Barbara. If you're going up the 101, it goes Summerland, Montecito, then Santa Barbara ... and Summerland definitely gets the least love, even from me. But that's rapidly changing since I found the most fantastically chic children's boutique there. A stone's throw from the ocean, it's cheerful and gorgeous and the decor is amazing. I met the owner while next door at the sister boutique, a home and garden store named Botanik. I can't believe that there was no interior designer in charge of the decor - it was all the owner, who definitely has an amazing eye. The two shops are housed side by side in old, renovated bungalows.

A sweet old vintage high chair - I'm so bummed I didn't buy one exactly like this the last time the flea market was in town.

So much Under the Nile goodness. This is the newborn section.

I think the most amazing feature of Amelia Jane are the light fixtures. They are completely unique and show stoppers.

The other feature I can't get enough are the amazing linens and window treatments in the shop. I love LOVE LOVE white painted rods and heavy creamy drapes - see how they're lined in a pattern?

Lovely. By the way, all these fabrics and dozens more are for sale by the yard. I might need to go back and check 'em out .... still no crib skirt in my house.

See the photos on the wall? They showcase the brilliant work of Meg Fish, a newborn photographer who just took Christian's photos last week ... and they are fabulous!

The boys' section in any baby boutique generally gets no love, but not at Amelia Jane! Wish I'd seen the Rikshaw Designs crib bedding - isn't it awesome?!

Rikshaw and custom fabric crib skirt.

Lots and lots of Serena and Lily - the salesgirl said this is one of the few places S&L has allowed a showroom sample of their rocker - it's gorgeous in person. I almost ordered this one. The bedding was SO pretty up close, too.

I always said I wanted one kid, but the girls' section definitely has me rethinking that. THOSE STOOLS.

More light fixture fabulousness!

The boys' section. So much amazing John Robshaw!! I loved this color scheme of red, blue, and navy.

One of my favorite features. I died when the owner told me that this was an actual outdoor bamboo bar cart that she fashioned and painted into a changing table. SO FABULOUS and cool in person.

Um, I want everything here for my kid's room. Awesomeness.

Hope you enjoyed the tour! I swear I come here once a week and it just keeps getting better and better!
