Make My Day

Night & Day Boutique

Your quest for timeless nursery decor has you seeing stars (and dots and stripes).

Seek refuge from repeating shapes at Snider Plaza’s recently opened children’s furniture and accessories boutique, Night & Day.

The serene space is filled with hand-painted cribs and beds, custom high chairs, frilly linens, and antique-chic accessories handpicked by owner Jennifer Howell, whose classic taste is known to long-time customers who covet the smocked apparel and impeccable monograms at sister store, Hip Hip Hooray.

You’re sure to notice a common thread between the two shops.

In other words, there’s a pattern.

Night & Day, 6816 Snider Plaza (214-369-6816).
