Can a room be chic and kid-friendly?
Categories: Places to go, Health & safety, Development, Kid decor & style
Can a room in your home be both chic and kid-friendly? According to Better Homes and Gardens, it can. I guess personal style can determine just how chic you think the ideas in the slide show provided are, but at least they're giving it a shot.
I am about to move into a new apartment. The last thing on my mind is making my new place chic. Even though I will own it and may paint the walls any which way I choose, I'm thinking more about childproofing than whether or not Italian leather will go over well in my livingroom.
The slides tend to focus on storage and keeping kid clutter organized. I think that is a truly noble concept, except that no one I know with kids has managed to keep all the kid stuff tidied up all (or any!) of the time. I did note in several slides a rounded coffee table, which meets some safety requirements by avoiding pointy corners while still looking pretty hip.
Perhaps there is room for a coffee table in my life after all.
So take a look at these slides and see if there are any new ideas in them for your own home.

Leather is THE BEST with kids. No regrets at all. We also bought the warranty which will repair or replace anything they can't fix. This covers nail polish to scissors. About $100 for the extra warranty, but worth the peace of mind.
