Adaptable Sleep Systems and Fun, Creative Accessories: How Organic Bunk Beds and a Personal Touch add up to a Versatile Nursery

As you plan for the arrival of your little bundle of joy, don’t let challenging financial times deter you from delighting in creating a nurturing, eco-friendly nursery for your baby. While our tough economy has reminded us to spend responsibly and mindfully care for what we have been given, it has also provided us with a wonderful opportunity to make more planet-conscious choices. From organic bunk beds, to natural, toxin-free draperies, to creative, unique accessories, you can design a nursery that will delight your Baby and effortlessly and inexpensively grow with him into toddlerhood and childhood, too.

Think Long-Term and Practical with Big-Ticket Items… Like Your Child’s Bed
A delicate bassinet or precious crib tugs at our heartstrings, and the few short months your little guy or gal will spend in a baby bed such as these will pass by all too quickly. If you are pondering ways to create a room for your child that is not only environmentally friendly, but also a prudent investment of your hard-earned dollars, then consider one of the very versatile three-in-one or four-in-one sleep systems available today. Some models evolve, as your child grows, from crib to toddler bed to grown-up bed, while others (like the Pacific Rim FSC Certified Classic Style Four-In-One Sleep System) handily and creatively transition to bunk beds or a bed with a trundle. Perfect for birthday slumber parties, and an extra bed for a guest, as well – practical and planet friendly! Just be sure to choose a natural, biodegradable bed and organic mattress so that your child’s sleep environment is green, safe, and healthy.

Have Fun with Bedroom Accessories: An Inexpensive and Creative Way to Celebrate Your Child!
Once you have created a simple framework of timeless furniture, an eco-friendly versatile sleep system, and neutral colours from floor to ceiling… it’s time to accessorize! Now you can use your imagination and creativity to celebrate your child and her special interests without hurting your budget. Hang organic draperies in a child-friendly design on a bamboo rod. Eco-friendly bed linens in lush organic cotton or bamboo are not only toxin-free, but are available in an amazing assortment of child-friendly colours and designs. Why not make a few coordinating accessories, like a one-of-a-kind sustainable-wood toy chest, a hanging corner caddy, or a Beatrix Potter needlepoint cushion? Add some unique, creative organic soft toys and a plush toxin-free rug, and your nursery is complete. Simple, thoughtful, inexpensive, and imaginative touches can tailor and define your child’s room as his very own, no matter what his age or interests. 

Preparing your child’s room for her arrival is a soothing, comforting task. As you carefully and lovingly create the perfect nursery for your perfect baby, be sure that you are responsible – environmentally and financially – in your choices. By building a nursery that will naturally move from a baby’s to a toddler’s and then a child’s bedroom, you are making decisions that will protect your family in the midst of a challenging economy and protect your planet from mindless excess, as well.
