Rebecca Atwood has long been one of our faves thanks to her ethereal yet modern textile designs. Her nature-inspired water colors and dreamy graphics can be found gracing everything from bedding to wallpaper to sofas, and she’s literally written the book on color and pattern—she authored the popular Living With Pattern back in 2016, and just last week released her latest title, Living With Color. Rebecca recently also added mom to her resumé, and her daughter Zoe, 9 months, can often be found hanging out in her creative Brooklyn studio (where these days the babies nearly outnumber the employees—out of her small team of four, three gave birth within a few weeks of each other!). That’s why this week we are super excited to have Rebecca share her list of Mother Essentials with us, from her undercover diaper bag to her fave neighborhood book store to the app that keeps all her employees (and new mamas) on the same page. See all 17 of her picks below!

Erbaviva Baby Body Wash. “This smells great and was gentle enough for our baby’s super sensitive skin.” Erbaviva Baby Body Wash, $18, Follain.
