If you like to go gemstone mining, don’t miss Anne’s photo tour of her trip to Hiddenite, North Carolina, where she found all sorts of gemstones, including the gem that town was named after.

Tips on Transitioning the Nursery to the Kid’s Room; How to Let Your Child’s Personality Shine Without Sacrificing Style

Tips on Transitioning the Nursery to the Kid’s Room; How to Let Your Child’s Personality Shine Without Sacrificing Style
San Francisco, CA, February 17, 2008 –(PR.com)– Serena & Lily, a wholesale and consumer line of beautiful custom baby furniture and accessories, offer tips on how to transition your nursery to a young boy or girl’s room.

• Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Keep some design elements and update others. Try keeping the paint color the same while updating the linens. Swap out the dainty flowers for an oversized floral, more appropriate for a young girl’s personality; or try a bold awning stripe rather than a pinstripe. You can also keep textile colors consistent and choose a new wall color, perhaps a richer hue to give the room a stronger, more confident appeal. If you love your nursery and have a hard time letting go, see if the crib linens manufacturer has a child’s line that makes the transition. Serena & Lily’s baby and child collections are all designed to work together, with this need in mind.
