I know I said I was going to do a toddler room, but I’m done doing them. I have decided to put the room up in a little bit of storage. I will add a mirror so that I can look in on my child while he learns how to dress himself.
I would add a little crib for him and a small table to keep his food items. He would also need a desk and some of the other items he will need to learn how to dress himself.
I’m sure I’ve said that a toddler room is on my to do list, but I’m really not going to get caught up in the toddler craze. The reality is that most homes don’t have a toddler room, and I’m really not going to get caught up in it.
I do think that a toddler room has a place in a home. Our toddler is a sweet, beautiful, smart, adorable little boy who loves to play and has his own room to himself. But I know that we dont have a toddler room, and I know that we dont need one. Our house is a little smaller than most and we rarely use it for his needs. We also plan on leaving him in the same room as us for the next year or so.
I think a toddler room might be the most valuable thing you can add to your home, but that does not mean you have to spend money on one. One of the best-selling ideas for a toddler room is this one from a family friend: a tiny desk made from a cardboard box, painted with a simple chalk paint, with a little hole on the bottom for the toddler to play in.
I think you should probably be planning to use it for something else. As I mentioned, there are other toddler room options out there that cost more, may not be as safe, and are less aesthetically pleasing, but you may be able to use that as a basis for your own.
I hear you, but it is important to note that the cardboard box idea is pretty inexpensive and the chalk paint is a bit of a hassle to apply. The good news is that you can always save money by making your own chalk paint. It’s easy and inexpensive. The bad news is that you will probably end up using a different chalk paint for each child.
Making your own chalk paint is one of the easiest DIY projects I’ve ever seen. It’s also important to note that it takes a fair amount of time to make your own chalk paint, and in the end it is really just a matter of gluing two sheets of masking tape to a piece of cardboard. For the most part the only real difference between this homemade chalk paint and the store-bought chalk paint is the amount of time it takes you to do.
There is a difference between the two. While the homemade chalk paint takes you about 20-30 minutes to make, the store-bought chalk paint takes you about two hours, plus 10 minutes for gluing. It may seem like a lot to you, but it really doesn’t. The homemade chalk paint’s chalk mark is permanent, but the store-bought chalk paint’s is only a temporary mark.
I dont know about you, but I’m in the middle of a project right now. It’s taking me longer to paint my toddler room than it is to paint anything else. In fact, it may take me longer to do the whole room than it does to paint. I’m sure I can come up with other reasons, but I’m also certain that my toddler room is not going to be as much fun as it is for me to paint.
