T. Rex Wall Decal Makes a Big Statement

Aaron Burgess — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GMT

I've seen a lot of (mostly ugly) dinosaur wall decals in my day, but this T. Rex skeleton from e-glue stands out for its clean lines and huge variety of colors. It's available in two sizes -- XXL (shown here) and a mere XL -- and though the range of choices might seem a little overwhelming, just play with e-glue's color-wheel application until you're ready to add it to your cart. Finding room for it in your budget, on the other hand, could be another story: The XL set starts at €75 -- or around $100 U.S.

Bathroom Buddies

Lisa Mulcahy — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 03:30:00 GMT

Some people go over the top decorating children’s bathrooms. Me, I opt for accessories, because the idea of jack hammering cutesy tile off the wall in a couple of years makes me cringe. I think this affordable set of mirrors does the trick.

Zoo Animals Wall Mirrors, $44.95 for the 4-piece set, features a lion, hippo, giraffe and monkey and can be arranged in a variety of different ways. Maybe some jungle friends in the bathroom will encourage little ones to look in the mirror long enough to notice the jelly and crusty ketchup on their face … and do something about it!

3-D Moose Puzzle for Your Mantle

Lisa Mulcahy — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 12:28:00 GMT

I don’t condone hunting, but I can’t get enough of the mounted animal head trend. Designers have been very creative in using alternative materials to create the look without sacrificing real animals. Why not get the kids involved by building their own moose mantle piece.

From Cardboard Safari, the 3-D Moose Puzzle, which comes in three sizes that range from $14-$48, is a set of laser cut pieces that when assembled create a unique trophy to mount on the wall. This would be great in a kid’s room if you’re going for the summer camp/lodge look.

Day-to-Day Design

Lisa Mulcahy — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 18:30:00 GMT

Sometimes I wish I could go back to being a kid, when days were timeless and there was little distinction between weekdays and weekends. But I guess at some point kids need to know about the daily grind and get on board. This days of the week wall panel will set them in the right direction.
