This year is all about stepping away from the cookie cutter look of display homes and creating spaces that are personality driven, fun, nostalgic and unique.

Practical & Stylish ways to child proof a home

Stylish & kid friendly decor ideas

Here are some kid friendly decor and furniture ideas I thought I’d share that the whole family will love.
