We have a platform bed and a 2-year-old and it was never an issue. You could let the heavier layer of bedclothes (blanket or duvet or whatever) drape over the edges, but that tends to make people misjudge where the hard edge is. If you like the clean, tucked-in look, just do it. Our little one didn't bonk herself once.

Cute, but they wouldn't stack (at least without risk of chipping), so they would take up a lot of space (assuming you have more than one). Unless you hang them by hooks.

So, the food groups are sandwich, fruit, snack and dessert? Hmm. However, a good inspiration to tweak into a healthy version.

Our old family Buick station wagon had the rear-facing back seat. My best friend & I always wanted to wrap sheets around our legs and stick our feet out of the window with toe-tags hanging off, like corpses. For some reason my parents wouldn't let us.

Cute, but I'd like it better if they were numbered sequentially instead of (as far as I can tell) randomly. I feel like everyone would be looking around for the boxes missing from the sequence.

Stain the chairs if the wood is just as nice -- otherwise, go ahead and paint them if you want. If you think there won't be enough of a connection between chairs and table if you leave the table unpainted, just paint the table legs and leave the beautiful wood top as is.

Hey, my set's here! (Calvin Klein Bamboo Flower) It looks more blue-purple than purple-purple in real life. I love it to bits.

Am I the only lazy one? I found that even if I kept everything neatly organized, my 2-year-old daughter would regularly pull things out, mess up piles, move things from one basket to another... so now, honestly, I just embrace it.

We do keep things organized by drawer (socks and washcloths up top, then pyjamas next drawer, then tops (shirts/sweaters) in the next, then pants/skirts in the bottom), but things are just chucked in anyhow, no folding. Everything's jumbled up but we know roughly where things are and aren't fixated on super-cute coordinating (kids can get away with pretty much any colour combination anyway). My daughter can help put laundry away because it's just a matter of getting stuff in the right drawer; I don't have to worry about her disturbing neat rows of anything.

The room still looks tidy when the drawers are closed and I don't waste any time folding tiny shirts that are going to be blotched from breakfast within ten minutes.

We got one for our cloth diapering purposes, and it's also great for cleaning out the training potty.
