Children are delicate hence; extra caution is crucial when decorating their rooms. They need furnishings that are fun but also safe. Therefore, you may be wondering- which window treatments are safe for a child’s room? You have to evaluate each item before using it. Read on for some precautions to simplify the process.
First, avoid window treatments that reach down to the ground. For example, if you install drapes ensure that they are as short as they functionally can be. This will deter the kids from pulling on the drapes, an action that can injure them. In addition, minimize contact with windows by keeping cribs and anything they can climb away from the windows. Next, go for cordless blinds. You can also opt for shades with retractable cords or remote control functions. By so doing, children cannot pull on the cords, which are a strangulation hazard. Finally, ensure the curtains are fire retardant. The fire retardant treatments added to fabrics increase their fire resistant properties. However, inherently fire resistant fabrics are a safer option for kids since they lack chemical additives. Better yet, you can find these fire retardant drapes at FR-One. The good news is, you are assured that all FR-One products are inherently fire-resistant.

Merry Christmas you guys!! I hope you are having a wonderful holiday with the people you love the most! Every Christmas Court’s siblings get together for our annual family photo. This is our 8th year and believe me when I say, this is our favorite part of Christmas. It started off as a funny gift for Court’s parents and has become the highlight of our entire year. I’ll link all of the past years photos below! The year we channeled our inner Poison and went full on 80’s glam rock. Please note Brem doing “spidey hands” Love you all! 2012: You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out! 2013: How The Grinch Stole Christmas! 2017: Have a Very (Geri)atric Christmas The post Annual Family Christmas Picture 2019: Rock You Like A Snowstorm appeared first on Vintage Revivals. Via https://vintagerevivals.com/annual-family-christmas-picture-2019-rock-you-like-a-snowglobe/ Let’s talk last minute gifts. I am 100% a last minute gifter to the core, so I thought it would be fun to round up 5 easy and inexpensive last minute gifts that you can pick up at your local Home Depot today! No shipping, no tracking the UPS guy, just a quick drive to the store and you are golden! These are perfect for neighbors, co-workers, teachers, family, or friends! Pair them with a Home Depot gift card and you will be the favorite this holiday season. At least you would be in my life.
Glade® Holiday Plug-Ins. YOU GUYS. Have you seen my instastories about these?!! The obsession is real. My favorite is the Enchanted Evergreen scent (you can get it in a Plug-In® or as a candle.) I grabbed some last minute before the Holiday Pop-Up at the Merc and everyone asked about the smell and also died when I told them they were Glade. Our local stores keep selling out so run and get some before they’re gone forever! Amaryllis Bulbs. Home Depot carries the cutest bulb kits for Amaryllis and Paper Whites. These are great for the plant lovers in your life! They have them in the garden section. Each kit has a bulb, planting disk, and planter. Once planted, these little bulbs shoot up and produce the prettiest flowers! How cute is this with a bow on the box? Coral Cactus. Have you seen these at Home Depot?! They are this cool mishmash of 2 different succulents that grows together and is a killer statement piece! They are very hardy and love warm temperatures, lots of sunshine, and follow the rule of succulent watering, when in doubt, wait a week. Work Gloves. You might think that work gloves are like the hand version of gifted socks, and you my friend would be wrong, they are WAY BETTER than socks! Our favorites are these black and leather Husky ones. They come in a 3 pack!! Home Depot Gift Cards! There is not a more perfect gift on the planet than a Home Depot gift card. You can use one of their holders (the level one is my favorite!) or if you’re living on the edge and need a last minute Christmas morning gift, you can order it online and have it emailed to their inbox! Happy gifting friends!! The post 5 Last Minute Easy Gifts You Can Score at Home Depot appeared first on Vintage Revivals. Via https://vintagerevivals.com/5-last-minute-easy-gifts-you-can-score-at-home-depot/ Hey friends!! I’ve got a new post over on The Home Depot blog today with my favorite deserty hues! You’ll even get a sneak peek of Ivie’s bedroom reveal! The post Desert Decor Gift Guide appeared first on Vintage Revivals. Via https://vintagerevivals.com/desert-decor-gift-guide/ Guys!! If you remember, we don’t actually have a master bedroom in the Merc. We’re crashing in Brem’s room until we get Phase 2 done. While the Merc is FAR from being decorated, the lastest sleeping situation makes me a little itchy. I would love to build a headboard and do it all up right, but I obviously should wait until we’re actually in our real life room right!? (insert nods of validation here) So I slowly add things to make it feel like an actual bedroom and not a room basement bedroom that gets all of the crummy leftovers. I just updated my bedding and want to tell you alllll about it!
I LOVE white bedding. It’s like the best form of basic. Everything looks amazing with it, it’s the equivalent of a giant fluffy cloud from heaven, and you can always tell if it’s clean. Do you know where my favorite place to get white bedding is? HOME DEPOT. I know you’re shocked. Pick your jaw up off the floor and let’s talk about it. Actually first, let’s have a vague flashback from my childhood. When I eat I love to read. Boxes, junk mail, the newspaper, anything. At some point during my childhood, I very distinctly remember my mom receiving The Company Store catalog. I loved looking at all of the bedding and all of the happy sleepers inside their advertising paid off because from the age of 9 I hav had imprinted in my subconscious that The Company Store bedding is the best bedding in all the land. Ok now that I’ve established that, let’s talk about Home Depot. How much time have you spent diving into the treasure trove that is homedepot.com? YOU GUYS. They have everything, including bedding from The Company Store. Holy flashback. Let’s start with the sheets, I am digging the 300 Count Percale Sheet Set. I will be the first to admit that I’m not a sheet expert, but the first thing that I noticed is how much more opaque they were than the cheapie ones I usually end up with. Do you know the ultimate sheet life hack?After your sheets are washed (and still wet!) you put them on your bed (dont tuck in the flat sheet, just let it hang out until it’s dry!) It leaves them so crisp and wrinkle-free! Try it next time you wash them, guaranteed you don’t go back! I can’t wait to try their wrinkle-free sateen option! Are you a sheet connoisseur? Share all of your advice below!! Court and I both love down pillows, but do you know what I hate about down pillows?! Getting stabbed in the cheek with a feather. The Company Store has a line called LoftAIRE that is a synthetic down alternative that has the same loft and warmth, sans the impaling . They are absolutely heavenly! You’d never know they weren’t real down! When I’m making a bed esthetically I prefer both a comforter and a quilt. And coincidentally using both is best for my marriage. See I’m a snuggler and Court is not, in fact skin to skin contact during sleep is like THE WORST THING YOU COULD INFLICT UPON HIM. It makes him ragey. So we split the blankets up and it’s the best of both worlds. I take the fluffy down comforter and Court takes the quilt. That way I can wrap my leg around something and wont risk getting a toenail to the shin as a reminder to stay on my side of the bed. The Company Store has a great quilt options my favorite is their signature quilt. It is perfect for any decor style!! As I was digging through all of the comforter options (there are so many!!) I fell in love with their Lacrosse line. It’s made for people like me who love white bedding, but also have a 2 yr old that sleeps in the bed and dogs that love to jump on it and take naps in the sun. Everything in the Lacrosse line is machine washable!! Hello lofty down comforter that doesn’t have to be dry cleaned!! And it’s made with the same LoftAIRE Down Alternative as the pillows. Because we’re living our best life without a headboard, I love using Euro Pillows to add some visual height to the head of the bed. Euro Pillows usually measure 26 inches and peek out just enough above the tops of your regular pillows. They are a great way to add some extra texture as well, the shams that I use are the same material as the quilt. Home depot has so many other great options. I love this gossamer throw (it’s thicker than you think we used one in Ivie’s room!) If you’re into real down, check out their Alberta line of comforters! It’s so weird how using new bedding suddenly makes this room feel like a bedroom and not a room with a bed in it. Quick Links: 300 Count Percale Sheets Huge thanks to Home Depot for partnering up with me on this post and making my husband not sleep hate me for touching him.
