ChilDecor Story — Handmade Nursery Decor from Ukraine
From Our Nursery to Yours
The first mobile I made was for Emilia. Not for a shop — for her. My name is Alina, and a year later, my husband said: "Let's open an Etsy store." That's how it starts — one person sees the potential, the other brings it to life with their hands. From day one, we were a team.
Since then, we've opened a few more shops, welcomed another child, and made thousands of unique pieces that found their place in nurseries around the world. But the dynamic has stayed the same: my husband — the vision and the structure, me — the shape and the detail. It's not a division of labor. It's just us.
ChilDecor is a family business in the most literal sense. We make things for babies because we're parents ourselves. We know what it means to choose something for your child's nursery — and that's exactly why we treat every single detail as if it were made for our own kids.
If you're looking for something made with the same care:
Handmade with care, trusted by thousands
We've been crafting nursery décor since 2019 — long enough to know what parents actually need.
Four shops, one standard. Every product we sell is held to the same level of quality and care.
Every number behind a real order, a real nursery, a real family who chose to trust us.
US-based warehouse for select items — faster delivery, no customs delays.
Not a factory. Every piece is made by hand, by people who care — because that's how we'd want it made for our own kids.

War Didn't Stop Us
We started in a small town in the Donetsk region. Now the front line runs through it. Where our home once stood — there are ruins.
When the full-scale invasion began, we left. We started over — outside Kyiv, with our kids, a sewing machine, and a decision not to stop. Home is where your family is. We understood that quickly.
The hardest time was when my husband was mobilized. I was pregnant. Two kids. The business on my shoulders. Seven months of not knowing how to hold it all together — but I did. He came back. Now he's a veteran, and we're building everything again, side by side.
Running a business during a full-scale war is something else entirely. Shelling, power outages, an economy that shifts every week. But every order is support. Not just financial. It's a sign that what we do matters. Thank you to everyone who stays with us.
We will endure. We already are.

Script or block is not a gender choice. It comes down to how long the name is, how much wall you have, and whether you want your child to read their own name at three. Everything else about the two sets is identical, down to the bulb.
