TOP NOTCH
You hear the words “cheap and chic” or “cheap and cheerful” a lot lately, and as fun as those descriptions sound, the word “cheap” most often refers to the product’s low quality, not just its price tag. While our wallets might like that initially, as parents, we’re always looking for the best quality for our kids and trying to avoid a disposable lifestyle as much as possible. That’s why we put so much emphasis on quality when it comes to our personalized growth charts, alphabet poster collection, and personalized tshirts for kids. Our gift packaging is even designed for maximum cuteness with minimal waste.
A few ways we focus on quality:
• Our collection of gorgeous modern photo posters, personalized growth charts and alphabet posters are crafted from premium materials and printed in the US with long lasting, eco-friendly inks.
• Our signature photo and poster papers are premium quality and heavyweight.
• You can choose to have your child’s personalized growth chart made with our luxurious 100% cotton, ultra thick canvas for added durability.
• Each Big Sister Tshirt and Big Brother Tshirt (as well as their “Little” counterparts) is printed on state of the art digital Tshirt presses on thick, ultra-soft cotton tees and onesies using a printing technique that creates a smooth, directly printed design that is durable, yet comfortable.
• Every order is personalized with your little ones’ name(s) and professional designers perfect every custom design. We spend countless hours refining each design, which is then digitally printed with environmentally friendly inks on the highest quality presses for unmatched color and quality.
• Our personalized glitter designs on each Big Sister Tshirt, Little Sister Tshirt, Big Brother Tshirt and Little Brother Tshirt are printed with premium, durable heat transfer material.
• Your satisfaction is guaranteed.

MURAL MURAL ON THE WALL
A great way to inspire a sense of adventure, a love of animals, or a respect for the great outdoors in a child is to surround them with it from the very beginning. A mural in their room is one way to do that.
We know we were inspired by these amazing room designs that feature murals and are sure to influence their little inhabitants. To further customize these rooms, we’d add a personalized growth chart or alphabet poster.
In order from top to bottom, we think the 1-10 in Lime Green, Woodland Fun, Perfect Pennant in Navy Blue or Roaring Red, and Monkey Pals personalized growth charts would pair nicely with each mural below.
California Home & Design recently featured this vibrant room with a map mural that lets kids know there’s a big world out there to explore.
This mural on ApartmentTherapy.com makes us hum “Home on the Range.”
This lighthouse mural on ElleDecor.com is bound to instill a love of the sea.
And this banana tree mural is just as fun as a barrel of monkeys.
Which mural is your favorite and which of our personalized growth charts would you choose to accent it?
NURSERY NOOKS
If you live in a big, urban city or just have a small home, having enough space for a separate nursery is a bit of a luxury. But square footage shouldn’t matter when it comes to making room for a new baby if mom and dad can get creative and work with the space they’ve got – like a walk-in closet, staircase alcove, or even a spare wall.
To create your very own nursery nook, paint the space in a color that separates it from the surrounding rooms. Pick double-duty furniture like a crib that doubles as a changing table. Be sure to remove any excess clutter from the space and reduce the amount of items you will keep on hand for the baby. And remember, you don’t have to dedicate an entire wall to a mural in order to make a big design statement. Simply spruce up any bare wall with an alphabet poster or personalized growth chart to add color, texture and customized character.
Just look at the amazing and resourceful nursery nooks we found online. Genius!

FOR RENT
Want to create your dream nursery or kid’s playroom but you’re not allowed to paint, add wainscoting or install some fancy new chandelier because you’re a renter? No problem, there’s plenty you can do with the room’s design that’ll have impact and still let you get your deposit back when the time comes.
Once you’ve picked the color or décor theme, choose a mixture of the following décor elements to create the perfect setting for your wee one:
Pick a large wow piece to be the focal point in the room. A bold or patterned piece of furniture, like a cushy striped chair, or furnishings, like a multi-colored floor rug, will add a dramatic pop.
(We found this fabulous chair on amyfurstenau.blogspot.com)
(This perfectly patterned rug we found on apartmenttherapy.com)
Wall art is another great way to bring color and interest to a room without painting, especially now that there are removable wall decals and wall paper.
(Check out our entire Petite Lemon collection of removable wall decals with WeeDecor.com)
(Check out Jordan Ferney’s review of removable wallpaper here.)
The 3M Command removable picture hangers and hooks are a wonderful solution for hanging up framed pictures, as well as your child’s personalized alphabet posterand/or personalized growth chart. Personalized growth charts are especially great because they not only easily tie in with a range of décor themes, they also can go with you if or when you move.
Here are a few of our favorite personalized growth chartsand alphabet posters.
WEE ROOM FOR TWO
Design Tip #19! If you’re feeling the squeeze of two kids in one small bedroom, remember to make the most of your vertical space – and grow up! Case in point: This built-in bunk bed we found on Pinterest is a prime example of how to maximize the square footage in a wee bedroom made for two without compromising the design. The space-saving features of this bunk bed are unparalleled, especially when you consider the fact that it includes two built in bookcases.
But beyond function, we love the form of this custom-built look and its clean lines help seal the deal. All it needs is one of our personalized growth charts or alphabet poster to add a bit of color and whimsy, and we’re sold!
Which of the following do you like best in this room?
