Stuff To Put Stuff In

We spent much of the weekend looking at furniture to cram into our little nursery. Mainly, we ordered a crib and perused the furniture and design selections at a few stores around the area. Guys and Dolls, a long-time Denver-area kiddie furniture store, had a pretty wide selection and nice range of prices. Since they specialize in kids' stuff, we spent awhile in there, gawking at all the crazy bunk beds and castle-style loft beds with towers and other such accoutrements. It was a kid's dream. 

Then we visited a couple of regular furniture stores to see if we could get some furniture not necessarily intended for nursery use, but would suit it just fine. It's never too early to get your kids using bulky adult furniture. Smashed fingers, cracked foreheads and toppled bookshelves? Endless lesson-learning opportunities, right?! ;) Ok, we really may have avoided the big, adult stuff altogether, but the showroom furniture stores sparked a lot of design ideas for the little Kinkster's room. Mirrors, lighting, composition, etc. We want light, and lots of different kinds of it. But it might also need to get a little moody. Not Phantom of the Opera moody. More in the vein of being-warm-and-snug-in-bed-yet-hovering-cooly-in-the-middle-of-outer-space moody. Something like that. Anyway, it's a process that takes time and hopefully we will end up with something the kid likes or at least finds somewhat interesting. Doubtful, but until our little one can talk, there will be no arguments.

All this needs now is some 20" rims and hydraulics.
