Like its forebears, Pottery Barn Kids and Crewcuts, big companies that conquer the adult realm soon realize that the future is with the young ones (and their parents). I've been a little blown away by the sheer volume of products that Restoration Hardware has created for their exploding baby and kids' line. They've got 21 different crib designs alone! Very euro-chic, and lighter and more feminine than their adult stuff, there's some really nice stuff here that's worth checking out.

Shaw's Original Fir...
beautiful. can't stop staring at these pictures.
im afraid to even know the price.... : /
It is all so lovely but I honestly can't imagine spending that much for a crib. Perhaps I'm cheap or just unsentimental. We're only having one and have no room to store "heirloom" furniture. He seems to have been happy in the $100 crib from IKEA.
I wouldn't spend that much on a crib but other stuff from Restoration Hardware store are so worth the $$ in my opinion. And they are not as expensive as some people think. I have bought some furniture and other bathroom fixture pieces from RH and so far, I am very happy with the quality and service. Their furnitures are definitely well made with lots of great details which are rare these days. I think Pottery barn is overpriced for the quality of furniture they sell...and they are not much cheaper than RH.
I'm not familiar with the company but I like it ALL!
Some kid's going to chip a tooth on that iron crib. Luckily, the parents will be able to afford dental care ;) I'll console myself with the idea that kids' rooms don't look like this for long anyway.
the large glass chandelier right over the bed, within arm's reach of a child? yikes! looks like an accident waiting to happen
Tee-Pee tent for me!
I think RH's hardware - curtain rods, handles, towel bars, etc. - is worth the price. However, the furniture prices are laughable. There must be a lot of rich people out there. I miss the old RH...
They're all stunningly gorgeous staged bedrooms. Some of them are breathtaking. As an adult I really like the boys rooms and can imagine them as useable 'adult' decor. But sometimes I wonder if these people actually have kids. If I let my 4 year old design their own room, it guarantee wouldn't wind up looking anything like that. This is the parents designing for themselves and not their kids. If you gave your kid the option of a duvet with Princess/Lightning McQueen on it vs the ones on there, guess which one the average kid will pick? I know the horror right? They have the rest of their lives to live in rooms like that. Let them live in playland for awhile.
RH is good quality, and beautiful. But I wonder... where I can get the kind of children who will not mangle, chew, drool, sick up etc all over these beautiful bedrooms?
Everything from the RH kids' line reminds me of the Addams Family, Edward Scissorhands, Hogwarts, or Disney's haunted house... and I don't mean that in a good way.
Too creepy... I half expect spiders and zombie hands to emerge from hidden spaces under the linens and cushions.
That's right, Night!

There is a really great art selection for sale on their website. I would use some of the "children's art" for my own home. Cool stuff.
Kindly allow my boomer middle-agedness to show: It seems that the kids we pampered and protected in the 80s and 90s are about to hyper pamper and hyper protect our grandchildren, or so RH and the others devoutly wish.
This all is about a mythological childhood protected from reality (and keeping up with the Gupta-Nakamura Smiths). I once watched in awe at a college orientation as the new freshers were led through a series of activities that were strongly reminiscent of Montessori school. This mythologizing of childhood is as irreversible as global warm fuzzies.
Dislike all of it. A button-tufted crib? And that huge crown! Pretentious knock-offs of antiques kids in Paris sleep in. Thumbs down.
Oh Restoration Hardware you so crazy.
Never change!
Honey is forbears -- oh, sorry, excuse my typo -- for bears. My ancestors are my forebears.
Do not like; it looks like a Victorian nightmare to me--reminiscent of an asylum.
Stylish does not equal painfully overwrought, which this is.
I'd gladly take some of the wall art (umm, dinosaur skeleton prints? Yes please!) but the rest just makes me laugh/cringe when I think of putting it in a kid's room. No kid would live in these rooms.
Can't stop laughing at the giant gilt crown on top of the (hideously baroque) closet.
This stuff looks like what rich Americans *think* rich Europeans put in their kids' rooms.
Well I guess fake-Euro Made In China fantasies are a little more attractive than Disney Princess Made in China fantasies but I dislike both.
I find most of these rooms just...strange. Do these people have children? Do these people like children? These rooms look like they are designed for grandparents who don't have visitation with their grandkids.
At least with a company like Room and Board, Land of Nod, or Dwell you are getting a quality product made in the US or Europe. Every single product I asked about at RH Baby a few months ago was MIC.
Hey! Watch me swing from the chandelier!!
@rapunzel it is forebearers (not forbears or forebears)
@rapunzel my apologies. No way to personally delete it... Any way we can all pretend I didn't just make that idiotic mistake? Seriously...
"Restoration Hardware Launches New Kids' Line" ...?
I bought my first kids item from them back in 2010.
