The other day we were shopping for a gift for a kid’s room, and golly, everything is blue or pink or yellow. What’s up with these three colors anyway? Did someone decide a long time ago that these are defacto kid colors and the whole industry just follow suit?

Frankly we’re a little tired of pink and blue. Here are some alternatives that we think would be really nice for kids or teenagers. They are great focal points and you can build themes around them…

The furniture is from Guildmaster (we would have listed the link here but it’s for the trade only so it won’t do you any good, sorry). Prices for the headboards run from $800 for a twin to $1200 for a queen. Email us if you need help.

We have this thing for side tables. They are so functional! You can put them next to a reading chair, a chaise lounge, or between two occasional chairs. They make a perfect place to set down a book and a drink. They are small so it’s easy to move them around. Most of all, they are not too expensive, so you can swap them out whenever you feel like it.

This one is also from Arteriors. It’s $500.

We’ll be putting these up on our site soon (sorry, we say that a lot, but we are just so DARN busy!). Drop us a line if you need help with it.
