Do not like; it looks like a Victorian nightmare to me--reminiscent of an asylum. Resto Goes Huge Into Baby & Kids |

You can get a wire brush attachment for any drill--it makes your drill look like a giant dremel. This will take the paint off any screws so that you can free your hardware for the crockpot. Just ask for a wire brush drill bit at the hardware store. Chemical-Free Paint Removal in a Slow Cooker The Family Handyman |

Very sweet approach and well-designed. I love kids' rooms like this one that are so simple and leave so much room for imagination. Lovely neutral colors, as well. Turner's Mellow Montessori RoomMy Room |

If children are allowed media in an unrestricted way, then, yes, they can be marketed to in an unrestricted way. As parents, it is our job to say, "No." We can control the media in our lives--by using the off switch, by choosing to read a book aloud instead of encouraging more screen time, by chatting with our kids instead of handing over the iphone. It takes dedication, but when we as parents take over being in charge of the content of our children's media exposure, then we have the power to influence what is being demanded of them.

Lilly, I loved your response. So often comments are made here with a "health" or "safety" veneer by folks who don't have much understanding of the issues involved. You, clearly, do understand them. Your son's room is adorable--you've made a real positive out of what must have been the necessity to use a small space. Looks great, and I bet he has a ton of fun there.

In our house we keep a carpet sweeper, with one of the links removed from its handle, for the use of the children. My son loves it the most--his favorite chore is to carpet sweep the area rug in the living room. A Colorful Modern Playhouse Mousehouse |

I can't believe no one has mentioned black-out curtains! They're essential, in my view, for getting a little one to nap properly. Sure, when they're tiny infants, they'll just pass out anywhere, but once they reach four months or so, black-out curtains are a sure way to send the signal that it's time for nap.

Love this room! The rug on the floor is SO beautiful and it will never go out of style--it will be perfectly at home in her living room someday--or yours. The two tone of pink are very sophisticated. The whole thing is a win, in my view. Violet's Maine Charmer My Room |

The Filth Wizards are true geniuses. The beauty of this project is its indestructibility--it won't rip or tear. The liner must cost all of $4 for a PVC-free one. It can go outside or in the garage. And anyone who's afraid of the offgassing potential of Sharpies is due for a long, anxious parenting ride indeed. Shower Curtain Play Mat Filth Wizardry |

Yes, yes, yes! It's great for babies who want to do what the big kids are doing, but who still eat the paint. And no, I do not want her painting with pudding, thanks. Mess-Free Finger Painting with a Plastic Bag Lovesome |
