Cool Kids Room Ideas
Who said that Kids rooms had to look like Walt Disney himself threw up all over the walls? While I don’t think that parents should discourage the creative outlet of kids, I don’t believe that rooms have to be completely covered and “young” looking either.
Here are a few websites that I found that really have some great Kid’s room ideas:
- DigsDigs.com – This page has a handful of AWESOME kids rooms. Let creativity reign!!

Lemongrass and Eucalyptus Candle from Target
As we quickly approach a change in the seasons, it occurred to me that all of my candles are currently carrying the “light, fruity scents” of summer. We all know the usual smells of the seasons like pumpkin for Thanksgiving, cinnamon for Christmas, etc.
I think there is room for some new “scents” to work their way into your home. I happen to LOVE the smell of Lemongrass. Surprisingly, there are a few companies that make lemongrass candles.
I happened to find this one at Target. I think I need to make my weekly Target run and pick a few up!
What is your favorite candle smell?

DIY Flower Arrangement
I know, I know. Long time, no blog. Go ahead and slap my wrist!
The good news is that I have found some pretty cool stuff while wasting hours upon hours on the Internet. This little DIY beauty caught my eye just now.
This is a centerpiece that I found on a website while searching for instructions on how to tie a bow. I think if my energy will keep up, I am going to try to make one of these myself for my Thanksgiving table decor. It is super festive and it looks fairly easy!
You can purchase your ribbon here.

Insulated Ice Cream Container
Last weekend, Laura made some of the best homemade ice cream that I’ve ever tasted. It tasted great and had the perfect consistency. Honestly, I think it was heaven sent.
I’ll try to get her to post the recipe here soon.
Meanwhile, I’ve found a cool insulated ice cream container. It would be absolutely perfect for taking some of that great homemade ice cream on a picnic!
It costs $12.95 at spoonsisters.com

A week or two ago, Laura posted about some wall stickers. At the time, I wasn’t sure whether or not I loved the idea of using wall stickers. However, I just stumbled across one that I think is really cool.
Okay, so it wouldn’t work for everyone. In fact, I don’t think we’ll be putting it in our house, but I thought it was cool nonetheless.
Get them here.

Flor carpet tiles - great for kids rooms!
If you are like me, I love my hardwood floors. Sometimes, I do wish we had some carpeted areas in our home (especially during the winter.) These carpet tiles from Flor give you the best of both worlds.
If you just want a hip, changeable area rug or to carpet a full room carpet tiles are a great invention. You can lay them your self – no installers needed. Also, if you happen to spill something on the rug, you can just change out the affected tiles.
This type floor covering comes in all styles, prints, and colors. You can check them out here.
Oh yea.. one more little item! These carpet tiles are made with renewable and recycled materials. Feel good and go green at the same time!
