Adorable DIY Nursery Decor

by Stacy on August 27, 2009

Who needs PB Kids or Land of Nod when we could all be creating fantastic works of art like this for our little ones? {on a dime too, I might add}

This graphic DIY rug looks like something created on a hip HGTV design show. Perhaps this year’s Design Star contestants should take a cue from its creators, this would have been a vast improvement to most of the items chosen for the kids rooms they designed last week.

Something about this whimsical, zebra print rug makes me want to crank one out in every possible color combination. Can you imagine the possibilities?

A huge Thank You to The Storque for the detailed how-to instructions, please keep amazing articles like this one coming.
{Forever Yours, Stacey}

Sweet Tweets from Raspberry Kids

This gorgeous Little Chipipi Red Robin wall sticker collection was sent my way shortly after arriving to Texas. With no furniture in the house and plenty of time on our hands, my children and I have become VERY fond of these adorable decals. I wasn’t quite sure how these delicate looking stickers would hold up to being handled by two aggressive toddlers, but they have certainly proven their durability in this house. (Word of Caution: The dragonflies are a bit more delicate than the other pieces) Still, our final verdict: Not only do these decals look amazing but they can take a little abuse too.

My youngest (2) loves to stick them all on top of each other, only to immediately rip them apart again and then stick and restick to the walls- over and over and well, you get the idea. My oldest (3) prefers to take his shirt off and stick them all over his body. He gets such a kick out of it and admittedly, I do too. Perhaps one of these days, I’ll manage to have a camera nearby to catch him in action. I’m sure Grandma would appreciate a shot of that. I’m happy to announce the decals are still rather sticky after several play dates with my children and even after being ground into our brand new shedding carpets (I know, what’s with that?) quite a few times. Repositioning is a breeze and the creative possibilities are endless.

Why We Love Them: Besides the fact they’re adorable, the Little Chipipi wall decals are a mom made product that delights the interior designer hiding inside of us AND satisfies our need for a bit of whimsy in the kids bedroom. Also available in butterflies and an adorable surfer-vibe transportation theme, check them out at the always Fresh and always Fun, Raspberry Kids. (Love this store)

Cost: $65 ($55 w/ discount)- While priced higher than average wall decals on the market, these stickers provide a whimsical, artistic feel to the room instead of the novelty commercial look of some others we’ve tried. Note: Prices on site appear in Canadian Dollars, we have done an estimated US conversion for you. Get a 15% discount if you purchase by Earth Day with the coupon code: motherearth15

Heritage Collection Armoire- Kmart

Every now and then I come across a truly amazing find that I just can’t stand to keep all to myself. Lucky for you, today is one of those days. I was searching the new Kmart website when I came across this adorable children’s armoire for just $76!! Yep, $76!! This armoire would make a great addition to any nursery or girls room and has gotten some wonderful reviews. I’m not sure if this is a typo or a clearance deal but I highly suggest you snatch one up while you still can. (check it out here)

Please Bear With Us

by Stacy on February 8, 2009


Posting to Kids Stuff World will be a bit sporadic the next few weeks. Please bear with us, as I transition from my life in Germany to my new home in Texas. My computer will be in transit until mid-April but not to worry – I have a few things planned for working around that. Don’t expect to see me much happening here next week, but after that posting shouldn’t be non-existent, just … sporadic (yes, I like that word)

In the meantime, I invite you to take a look around, read up on some of our older posts and get to know KSW a little better. While you’re here, leave a comment or two ~ I’d love to hear what you’re all up to. Here’s a few great finds to get you started:
