Have you seen these nurseries?

So the OhDeeDoh’s Kids Color Contest has officially ended and the winners have all been chosen, but with so many fabulous kids rooms we just couldn’t let that be the end of it. So – we scoured each of the 46 entries and picked our very own KSW winners. I’m sorry to say there are no prizes but they have certainly earned bragging rights for their outstanding efforts. So without further ado… The KSW winners are

Green Living Home Inspiration

by Stacy on November 21, 2008

I’ve been pretty quiet around these pages the last few days but don’t let that fool you. I’ve been busy gearing up for new posts, features, and giveaways for Kids Stuff World. One thing that has taken up a considerable amount of my time has been dreaming of the KSW Green Living Home project. Visions of this eco-fabulous home have been dancing in my head for days and I just couldn’t wait any longer to share some of them with you, so here goes ….

How about an entry way that really makes a statement about the people who live in the house – I would love to recreate this bench from a recycled church pew

I’ve been thinking of a dreamy living room like this gorgeous one that belongs to Amy Butler – who could resist the use of natural elements, textures, and crisp clean linens. A perfect match for a Green Living Home

I’ve also visualized a bathroom retreat that looks something like this -recycled glass tile, perhaps a reglazed pedestal foot tub. Soft and subtle colors with loads of natural light. A sky light would be another great addition to a room like this.

So, what do you think? Do these photos capture the style of the family oriented, environmentally friendly home you had in mind? If you’ve had different ideas or have some inspirational photos you’d like to add to the mix, fee free to send them my way at kidsstuffworld@gmail.com . Or if you’re a company interested in having one of your products featured in this project, drop me a line as well. We’d love to here from you

All for now

This eco-friendly birch wood table and chair set from EcoTots has really caught my eye, enough so that I am designing a Kids Stuff World Playroom around it. It’s built to last and just the right height to encourage imaginative play and all sorts of fun activities. The best part is, from now till Nov. 30 the whole set is on sale for $249.99

Get yours from here, Red or Green

Sorry the posting has been a bit sporadic but there are a lot of changes going on behind the scenes of Kid ~ Stuff ~ World. We hope to unveil them to you very soon. Look forward to several new features and a more defined focus for you readers who are wondering where we’re coming up with all these seemingly unrelated ideas. 

For now, take a moment to check out all the fabulous colors available from EarthBorn paints, the UK’s leading brand of eco-paints and let us know if anything leaps out at you. We’ll stick with the obvious Beach Cottage vibe this home is putting off in our overall design plans.

More from me after while, I’m making my trans-atlantic flight tomorrow, have a great weekend

And The Winner Is …

by Stacy on September 2, 2008

The Kids ~ Stuff ~ World Green Living Home is the Bimini from Palm Harbor homes. It was a close contest, but the Bimini won by a mere 6 vote margin. We’re so excited to kick this series off, but, we’re all going to have to wait one more day. As for tonight, check out the home and start thinking about all the Green possibilities we can come up with.
