Fairies Theme is Perfect for Baby Girl's Rooms

What is more magical and child-like than fairies?  Fairy-themed nurseries are big these days.  Start your decorating with whimsical artwork, like this Fairy Artwork from Oopsy Daisy.  At only $54, it is an affordable nursery center-piece to kick off the fairy theme.  Pair the Fairy artwork with a coordinating fairy rug.  (We don't like to be too matchy-matchy, so we go with a flower rug. There are rugs with fairies on them if you prefer fairies on everything.)  Add a fuzzy pink nursing glider by Little Castle to complete the fairy look. Don't forget to paint the walls pink!

Children's Wardrobe Great to Hide TVs

Let's face it, kids have a lot of stuff.  All the stuff can become a headache if you don't have a good organization plan.  One of the best ways to fight bedroom clutter is to invest in a kid's armoire.  One of our favorite kids bedroom armoires is the Monterey Armoire made by Alligator Enterprise.  It has comes with 3 interior drawers and 2 adjustable shelves, and is available in your choice of custom finishes. 

When you are planning your nursery, plan on adding an armoire to the mix.  Yes, the armoire may be a large part of the budget, but it will be worth it. Here's a word of advice - spend the most money on the pieces of furniture that you will have for a while.  While you may have your eye on a super-expensive changing station, realistically it will only be with you for a few years.  A child's armoire could be with you forever.  And then after forever, it would look great in the guest room, or in your family room.

Full Over Twin Bunk Sleeps 3

Something about bunk beds just remind you of childhood - maybe it's calling for the "top bunk", or maybe bunk beds remind you of sleepovers. Either way, bunk beds are a great way to accommodate overnight guests. One of our favorite bunks is this one from Alligator Enterprise.  This bunk is slightly different from the usual bunk beds because instead of two twin mattresses, this bunk bed has a twin over a full mattress, allowing you to sleep an extra guest.  Plus, it comes with an optional pull-out trundle bed, to bring the sleeping total to 4!  How's that for a slumber party?

It comes in your choice of great finishes (black, red, white, and walnut), and it has built in safety features for the sleeper on the  top bunk.
