She needs a baby jail!</p> <p>We were thinking of getting another crib that comes with all the parts to convert it to toddler and let #2 sleep in the current nursery/crib setup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/give-me-ideas-for-my-toddlers-room#post-1006549 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 14:39:46 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1006549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: that's a lovely color! I've heard some people say the chalkboard walls can be horrific to clean though. I may only do one section of it if it were me.</p> <p>We went straight to a twin and he has treated it like a crib. No wandering. But I think I may have just gotten a cheap second crib or let the baby sleep in the RNP or PNP for awhile if we'd had less of an age gap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/give-me-ideas-for-my-toddlers-room#post-1006542 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 14:34:44 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1006542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: did she ever get out and walk around the house or refuse to stay in bed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/give-me-ideas-for-my-toddlers-room#post-1006528 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 14:24:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1006528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cute!!

We only use it for sleeping and reading books before bed because all the toys are down in the playroom.</p> <p>Right now, our big eyesore is the book storage...they're all dumped in a bin and not displayed nicely. I am kind of stuck on what to do because I don't have any more wall space for another bookshelf and the one above the desk isn't really practical.</p> <p>One Step Ahead had a super revolving table with bookshelves, but they're not offering it anymore, BOOOOO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/give-me-ideas-for-my-toddlers-room#post-994475 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:24:58 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 994475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and Overstock is always worth a look! Especially for rugs. I almost always find everything there, Ikea or Target. Oh, and Etsy for decor! Blik has cool wall decals, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/give-me-ideas-for-my-toddlers-room#post-994468 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:22:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 994468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: they are planters from a home improvement/garden store.</p> <p>similar to this: <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/p/CobraCo-24-in-Coco-Heart-Scroll-Horse-Trough-Planter-HTHS24-BHD/202032764#.UgGhDBb890U" rel="nofollow">http://www.homedepot.com/p/CobraCo-24-in-Coco-Heart-Scroll-Horse-Trough-Planter-HTHS24-BHD/202032764#.UgGhDBb890U</a></p> <p>ETA: here is a second one:<br /> <a href="http://www.homedecorators.com/detail.php?parentid=12996&#038;aid=google.push&#038;skwcid=PTC" rel="nofollow">http://www.homedecorators.com/detail.php?parentid=12996&#038;aid=google.push&#038;skwcid=PTC</a>!pla!!!51846049819!g!!23642421379&amp;gclid=CKeW5aqW6rgCFbFDMgodeyMAWA</p> <p><a href="http://www.shopterrain.com/product/half-moon-wire-wall-basket" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopterrain.com/product/half-moon-wire-wall-basket</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/give-me-ideas-for-my-toddlers-room#post-994463 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:21:19 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 994463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a playroom, so we don't have too many toys in my 2-year-old's room. For the books and toys that are there, we have a low storage unit with bins. We also have a tall dresser with his clothes, a twin bed, and a big teepee. Most of it is from Ikea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/give-me-ideas-for-my-toddlers-room#post-994458 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:19:56 +0000 ladybee 994458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I really like the half circle baskets. Where are those from? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/give-me-ideas-for-my-toddlers-room#post-994404 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:02:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 994404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are brainstorming for transitioning to J's toddler room too.</p> <p>I think for sure I will be making him a teepee - I found a few tutorials on pinterest that I will be tapping into. I want to finish that before winter. plain beige canvas fabric is cheap at joanns and they always have 50% off a cut of fabric coupons. It'd be fun to decorate the plain canvas as well.</p> <p>We also have to figure out some type of storage. I have had my eye on this toy bin for awhile: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Harmony-Kids-Deluxe-Blue-Micro/dp/B002K8LG7G/ref=br_it_dp_o_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&#038;colid=2XUJ5BJ3AQXI2&#038;coliid=I28ZTHI0S9NOJ0" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Harmony-Kids-Deluxe-Blue-Micro/dp/B002K8LG7G/ref=br_it_dp_o_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&#038;colid=2XUJ5BJ3AQXI2&#038;coliid=I28ZTHI0S9NOJ0</a></p> <p>I also like the idea of wire racks on the walls </p> [attach=1597/13/mr4yw0.300x230.wireplanters.jpg] [attach=1597/13/mr4yw2.350x350.wire.jpg] [attach=1597/13/mr4yw4.400x600.toystorage.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/give-me-ideas-for-my-toddlers-room#post-994355 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 19:45:39 +0000 littlek 994355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For inspiration have you looked at restoration hardware kids or PBK? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/give-me-ideas-for-my-toddlers-room#post-994335 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 19:39:05 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 994335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What even goes in a toddler's room? Bed, shelves, and dresser? I have no idea where to start. Pretty sure we are getting an espresso colored Babyletto crib/toddler bed, and have a dresser we plan on painting a fun color (no idea what color).</p> <p>Do you have any cute/stylish/inexpensive suggestions for storage? Bins and baskets for toys, shelves for books?</p> <p>I am at ground zero so any suggestions would be appreciated....like anything you have that you love!</p> <p>I also need suggestions on good places to find GREAT DEALS on rugs, decor, furniture, and bedding. Other than Target and NBD, I'm clueless on bargain sites. </p>
