“We’ve really worked to make sure every piece across the Wendy Bellissimo furniture offerings has something special.” — Wendy Bellissimo
FurnitureCart introduces special Legacy Classic Kids Collections by Wendy Bellissimo: Inspirations, Big Sur and Harmony. All three collections speak directly to the heart of nursery and youth environments with designs focused on style and comfort. As a natural extension of her ability to connect with families looking to enhance their lifestyle, designer and mother Wendy Bellissimo balances the collection’s focus with pieces that easily accommodate a child’s individuality and a mother’s desire to provide an inspirational environment in which her child can grow.
“The success of last year’s launch of the Inspirations collection I believe strongly supports the idea that families want compelling options when they are decorating their homes. We’ve really worked to make sure every piece across the Wendy Bellissimo furniture offerings has something special that helps them to stand out as an amazing combination of style and value and Big Sur and Harmony each elevate this idea even further.” – said Wendy, family lifestyle designer.
As a mother and a designer, Bellissimo has extensive experience in finding the “perfect fit” for a child’s space. All pieces in the Wendy Bellissimo collections have been sized and scaled to accommodate the dimensions of a typical child or smaller bedroom.
The collections bring the fun and excitement back into shopping for children’s bedroom furniture, providing creative ways to decorate with an eclectic assortment of pieces that can be styled in multiple ways to fit any setting. Each truly live up to Wendy’s mantra of “love the way you live.”
Inspirations by Wendy Bellissimo: Was created with a versatility that allows each girl freedom of distinct personal expression. Classic styling with intricate wood turnings, inspired hardware and beautiful moldings make this collection a standout with over fifty items to choose from. Lovingly developed finishes of Morning Mist Grey and Seashell White provide an air of lived-in sophistication that will transition gracefully for years to come.
Inspirations Special design elements:
- Drawers feature positive drawer stops and side mounted, ball bearing extension guides
- Drawer fronts are constructed with English dovetail joinery

Big Sur by Wendy Bellissimo: Not leaving the boys out, Big Sur is a youth group designed to appeal to boys of all ages with a refined, rugged styling and attention to detail that is a signature trait of the Wendy Bellissimo brand, and what has made her a recognized style leader in family lifestyle products. A handsome finish and layers of frames and moldings make this collection a stand out without adding excessive weight and scale. Finessed details such as the “cross framing” motif on the beds and turned feet create a collection that moms appreciate and still appeal to the “men” of the house.
Big Sur Special design elements:
- The Saddle Brown finish is a warm cherry colored tone with subtle rub through, burnishing and lightly distressed edges that is truly a child-friendly finish
- All pieces feature custom designed knobs with faux key-holes in an Oil Rubbed Bronze color for added details creating a more authentic heirloom design
- A worn bonded leather fabric is used on the Upholstered Platform Bed
Harmony by Wendy Bellissimo:
The perfect balance between European traditional styling with today’s casual lifestyle helps create the comfortable backdrop for this collection.
Curved fronts on all the cases; delicate ogee shaped frames decorate the drawer fronts; soft rounded fluted pilasters; rounded, urn-shaped turned feet blend together to create a traditional silhouette, then mixed with a very casual Antique Linen white-painted finish, custom designed ring pulls in a matching Antique Linen tone and topped off with a touch of sophisticated glam with glass knobs, Harmony is the perfect interpretation of classic styling updated with today’s livable lifestyle.
Harmony Special design elements:
- Antique Linen White – a painted “gesso” style finishing process featuring a subtle texture that creates an authentic hand-painted design adding to the heirloom appearance
- Fluted glass knobs and custom designed ring pulls accented in a lightly distressed white paint give a sophisticated tone on tone look to cases
- A light natural “Tea Stain” woven fabric used as on the Upholstered Panel Bed (headboard/footboard) and also as a French Memo board used in the Desk Hutch
