Library: Kids’ Rooms & Baby Décor
As the mother of a five-year daughter, a part-time designer, with grand ideas and a limited budget, I’ve always complained about the lack of design magazines or books geared especially for kid spaces that (a) don’t cost a fortune and (b) spend too much of the page focusing on pretty close-ups of insignificant items, such as crayons in a bucket.

There's also a full line of environmentally friendly soaps and cleaners from Caldrea.
