Ever since my daughter was introduced to Lalaloopsies in December of last year, she has been hooked! I love the look of the environments in which the characters live; it really lends itself to having a handmade look.

Industrial cool doesn't need to be confined to just grown up spaces. Look at how wonderfully these wire baskets work in Silas' Poised for Adventure Room. If your baby or kids space is a little too fluffy and soft, why not consider adding some wire baskets to your bookshelf, or like Lindsay, to the wall?

Entries for our annual Small Cool Contest are flooding in, and as usual they are filled with fantastic ideas we can mine for our own spaces...including kids spaces! Here are a few images and ideas for your kid's room inspiration-board.

The Mad Hatter is always ready for tea time, so maybe you and your kids should be, too. If you stock up—or DIY it!—on these cute tea party essentials, your kids will certainly not echo Alice's sentiment: "It's the stupidest tea-party I ever was at in all my life!"
