Mellifico's Profile

Hmm, this could be cool on the back of the bedroom door. I don't think I'd want a swath of bright green through any part of my house I see on a regular basis! Not to mention the dusting...

We use storage inserts and boxes to keep ours looking neat and organized. The door inserts have backs that keep anything from falling behind, and since they hide the books you don't have to keep them in picture-perfect order. The double drawer inserts are great for organizing craft supplies, diaper supplies, baby dishes, etc. And pull-out storage boxes make it easy to move blocks and other small toys to different areas, as well as hiding clothes and blankets.

It would also be pretty easy to add color and pattern to the inserts with some contact paper or paint.

I think the first one works just fine for girls - last I checked we do wear pants and shirts. Don't dresses and skirts usually hang in the closet, anyway?

Something about this little guy is really appealing. I love it!

I'm partial to this one.

You can also DIY something similar using a simple canvas over-the-door shoe organizer for a fraction of the price. Use stencils or stamps to add letters or symbols.

Nice re-purposing.

Much nicer than the cardboard box my kid uses as a Moses basket.

I had the same reaction to the safety of using this as a "crib", but chances are good the parents are already aware of potential risks, and if not, they will be now.

I'm more surprised that the author of this entry didn't mention it.

This is my favorite: <a her="http://www.momastore.org/museum/moma/ProductDisplay_Plywood%20Clock_10451_10001_38695_-1_11548_11551_null_shop_">Plywood Clock</a>.

It's great for bedrooms because it has a sweeping, not ticking, second hand.

Totally unnecessary, but it is indeed cute.

I love the animal bookends but similar ones I've seen are weighted with iron filings. The website doesn't say what these are weighted with, but if it's iron I'd be worried about kids or pets ingesting the filling.
