Creative Designs

for

the Kids Room...

Kids are hard to please.  My two year old is a choo-choo fanatic and my four year old wants to be the next Batman.  That wouldn't be such a problem if they didn't share the same room.  How do you design a room that is pleasing to the eye and yet satisfy's the ever changing interest of the kids?

PRIMARY COLORS

I decided that I was tired of spending the money for new bedding and the like everytime a new Disney movie came out.  My solution was to make my boys room predominately primary colors.  The only thing I have to do when my kids express an interest in a new character is buy the pillow cases.  It turns out to be more cost effective and they seem satisfied.  But what do we do about the walls.  A childs room needs to be joyful and bright.  I have found that wall stickups are the answer.  They are not permanent yet they can endure countless sticking and resticking.  A corkboard is a great place to show off your childs latest artwork.  If you are going to hang a coatrack, remember to keep it low enough that your child can put his or her own coat away.  Oh, and the toybox...Have you priced one lately?  I chose to use the big Rubbermaid storage container with the flip tops.  They come in a wide variety of colors and hold a lot of toys.  You're welcome to view some snapshots we have taken of our sons room.

We were fortunate enough to have a spare bedroom in our house and instead of using it for a den or office...We decided to turn it into a preschool atmosphere. I am a stay at home mom trying to prepare my four year old for kindergarten and with some bright colors and a little imagination my husband and I are working on making it look like a class room.
