Have you been watching this season’s Design Star? Last night, I watched the episode where they HGTV’d someone’s house and Kellie and Leslie got to work on the two little boy’s room.

I was stoked! Two of my favorite designers (personality wise) working on my favorite rooms of the home, the kids room. I could hardly wait. I pushed aside all my other obligations and sat down to soak in everything they had to offer …

and boy,
was I … disappointed.

I couldn’t believe how much these two mothers dropped the ball when given the opportunity, to really shine in an area they should have identified so well with.

Leslie and Kellie must not have access to Pinterest! Because if they did, I know they could have learned a few things from these designers and moms who really created show-stoppers for their kids rooms!

And finally, Jenna and her super cool  Skateboard Shelves.

I’m thinking these ladies could have given Kellie and Leslie a run for their money!! What do you think? Follow the links to each project, so you can get started on your own super cool kids room decor. And of course, let me know how it all turns out. My only problem, is I can’t decide which one I should do first!

A Valentine’s to Remember

by Stacy on February 5, 2009

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all about marketing and merchandising – disregard the VDay Gift Guide we posted earlier :)

More than likely it is the sentimental meaning behind Valentine’s Day: the one about showing love and affection to those who matter most to us that we would like to pass along to our children. KSW understands that philosophy, in fact, we love that philosophy. We love it so much that we’ve compiled some great resources to help you share a simple, heartfelt, meaningful handmade holiday at home with your child. (Boy that was a mouthful)
