Choosing a Fantasy Bed Kids Have Their Heart Set On

Kids who dream of being Cinderella, cowboys, race car drivers, and more will feel right at home in these fantasy kids beds.

Parents can help to make those dreams come true in their child's room. Wonderful fantasy beds expand a decorating theme for any boy's or girl's dream room.

Castles, dragons, fairies, and royalty are written about in books and captured in the hearts of children everywhere. But they don't have to stay in a child's imagination!

What little princess wouldn't love to sleep in a golden coach? Do you know any race car driver who couldn't slow down enough to dream in a colorful model car? A future sailor can rock gently to sleep in his or her own private boat.

There might be more practical solutions to childhood sleep, but the fun that a fantasy bed brings to a child's life will more than make up for the added expense. And you'll always know where you child is, since your child's friends will want to play at your house and plan wonderful sleepovers!

"Talk to your children and find out what they like. A favorite book or color may be the decorating theme you're looking for." Pam Hallaron, the interior designer of PoshTots said, he also advises that whatever style bed is chosen for a child, "Make an occasion for child to remember the new bed. Get them excited about their new environment and they'll love spending time there.

Whether your purchase is for your child's fantasy bed -- or fulfills your own fanciful childlike desires -- these beds will set the tone for a terrific, creative kod's room.

Before the kids have their heart set on a specific bed, make sure your room has space to keep the bed in. Some of the beds come in strange or oversized shapes. Remember that some styles beds will require custom-made bedding.

Your child will undoubtedly outgrow the fantasy bed before it's worn out. And the novelty of a "golden coach bed" might get old before your child changes his or her interest or goes off to college.

Be ready for the added expense and have a place to store the fantasy bed once it's outlived its usefulness, anyway, probably you have no trouble at all finding another youngster who would love to dream in the fantasy bed.



Decorating kid's room can be lots of fun. But what do you do when you need to get it done in a real hurry? Could you make the decisions, do the work, and finish in time?

If you're like most people, you don't have much time left at the end of a busy day to do anything extra. But at this time of year, you want to do something to make your home look festive and special and create the wonderful Christmas holiday atmosphere.

You'll find some ideas here for quick and simple ways to add a festive look to your home without spending a lot of time or money. And you'll have time left over to really enjoy Christmas!

1st. Decorate Everything with Ribbons & Bows
Bows look festive and the ribbons you choose should tie together with the rest of your decorating. Choose ribbons in colors and patterns that coordinate with your decorating scheme.

Tie generous ribbons to chair backs, candlesticks, picks in plants, wreaths, garlands, basket handles, drapery tie-backs, stair railings, and doorknobs.

You don't have to stick with red and green. Choose plaids or florals that tie in. If you can't find anything that looks quite right, then choose metallic silver, gold, green, or red.

Choose a ribbon that you can untie and re-tie each year. This will save money in the long run, and you'll end up with a good collection.

When the holidays are over, untie the ribbons and press them lightly. The bows won't get crushed and the ribbons will be ready when you want to take them out the next year.
2nd. Turn Off Lamps
Arrange lots of candles on the dining table and dine by candlelight, even if you're just having leftovers. Every meal will feel special.

Burn a fire in the fireplace each evening and encourage family members to gather around and read, do homework, write Christmas cards, or snooze.

Arrange pillar candles in your bathroom, on the sink or around the tub. Take time to soak and enjoy! If you have little children in your home, you should be very careful with candles around the house. Always have an adult in the room.

3rd. Put Wreathes or Swags on Every Doors

Put a wreath or swag on every door you have. Of course, start with the front door to welcome guests.

Go on to the back door, inside and out. Remember over the mantle, and in all your front windows. Don't forget bedroom doors, inside and out.

Use real pine, holly, or grapevine, decorated with bows, berries, fruit, pinecones, raffia, ornaments, birds, photos, or candy.

4th. Use Holiday Tableware for Every Meal in December

Look through your cupboards and get out any dishes that look festive.

Discount stores often carry seconds of name brand porcelain, as well as fun designs that are not so common.

Start a set of holiday dishes with dinner plates that coordinate with your everyday dishes. Add new pieces each year, like salad plates and mugs.

Note: Be sure the pattern you select will be continued from year to year.

Buy 1 or 2 place settings each year. Before long, you'll be able to serve a feast.

If you're adventuresome, choose a different pattern and one place setting each year. Arrange the different dishes around the table and get lots of comments and rekindle memories. When they're not in use, the dishes can be displayed around the room.

To keep wreaths year after year, buy artificial wreaths that will last. Remember, you'll need room to store them!



When Christmas is over and it's time to get back to basics, you might find these organization and storage tips helpful. Get your ornaments, wreaths, garlands, and other decorations organized for next year.

Other common Christmas decorations include plants such as mistletoe, holly, and poinsettias. Although church and state have been separated, many cities still sponsor secular decorations in their downtown areas such as banners and Christmas trees.

However, does the "super ribs" equal to beauty? This sick taste of beauty in the fad group has bought bad influences on the health of young peoples. So, nowadays, say "No" to those "super ribs" has gradually become a new trend in the model industry.




Excessively skinny fashion models will be barred from a major Madrid fashion show later this month for fear they could send the wrong message to young Spanish girls, local media reported.

Madrid's regional government, which is co-financing the Pasarela Cibeles, has vetoed around a third of the models who took part in last year's show because their weights are too little.

The authorities collaborated with a Spanish health organization to come up with.

Several models at last year's show provoked a row when they claimed their careers would be under threat if they put on weight.

Organizers said they wanted to "help ensure public opinion does not associate fashion, and fashion shows in particular, with an increase in anorexia, a disease which, along with bulimia, is considered...as a mental and behavioral problem".

It was the first time such restrictions had been imposed on a fashion show, although a recent wedding dress exhibition in Barcelona banned fashion models who took a dress size below 38 (British size 10, US size eight).
