I love a good "get it for less" post, just like I love a good "before and after." Today is all about creating a beautiful kid's room for a range of parents' budgets. Click to see what this room configuration costs, then explore ways to get a similar look and feel, for a variety of prices. More
The Rhea Crib
• $670
• Oeuf
Another Oeuf crib to fall for. The Rhea would look at home in an ultra modern room or something more traditional. Sleek and stylish, but still warm. Available in birch or walnut.
Name: Stefan (14 months)
Location: Manhattan, New York
Room Size: 9.5' x 12'
Tina and Stefan were first-time parents but second-time clients, brought to me from Apartment Therapy itself several years back. Tina's "Good Question," about preserving the freshness in their master bedroom while still showcasing some gorgeous family furniture led to my working with this lovely couple, and designing a nursery for their newest gender-to-remain-a-mystery-until-delivery-date soon-to-be.
Sometimes a bed is just a bed and sometimes it's practically a piece of art. Looking back over the year, we saw many unique and unusual beds. Sometimes it was their aesthetic that made them special, other times their function. Take a look:

Additionally, the padded headboard is a perfect place for leaning your back while reading in bed. After the jump, check out five tufted headboards, including the one shown here. More
Caravan Divan
• $595 (or $395 for conversion kit)
• Kalon Studios
A 'divan' sounds so fancy, but really this is a beautiful, toddler-sized daybed or a spot for reading and relaxing. Like Kalon's cribs, this comes in raw (shown) or five colors.
Whether you have a small space or just want to get more bang for your buck, you may want to consider children's furniture and toys that serve multiple functions. There are so many convertible options on the market - from bassinets that transform into desks to toys that both rock and roll. Here are fifteen of my favorites: More
There is a Totoro bed! Somebody has made a My Neighbor Totoro bed, and for once the adorable cartoon coziness is not just for children. The cuddly, fuzzy, full-sized Totoro cushion bed is actually sized to accommodate two adults. Sure, many grown-ups would think twice about adopting this particular new friend, but it certainly has a leg up on most futons. More
Dutailier products have always been well regarded for quality and comfort, but they weren't particularly known for style. That has certainly changed. We got our first glimpse at last year's ABC show and this year Dutailier's modern offerings were out in full force. It's like Edith Crawley went away for the summer and came back as Sybil.
