Harrison's Toddler Room

We’ve all seen the AH-mazing toddler rooms on Pinterest and design blogs.  They’re perfectly coordinated with designer fabrics and $2,000.00 toddler beds, either put together by a very talented mother or a professional decorator.  It’s like eye-candy for those of us that adore pretty things (::cough yours truly cough::).

But they aren’t real.

I mean, yeah, they’re real but they’re not reality for the 99%.

Real toddler rooms are usually made on a budget with creativity and stains on the carpet.  They’re full of the 5,000 stuffed animals gifted at baby showers and birthday parties and plastic toys.  They probably still hold a glider for the momma that can’t seem to stop rocking her two-year-old and thousands of picture books and sound machines.

I asked my readers to submit regular ol’ normal and fantastic toddler rooms – the ones designed to be functional and fun and potentially on a budget.  See the absolutely gorgeous rooms below and the sweet touches that make them so personal:

Keeping it classic.

Thanks for showing Charlotte’s bedroom Beth Anne! All these are AH-MAZ-ING! I’m so glad you’re showing rooms that aren’t done by a designer and are still awesome. I think I’ll need to have a boy now to keep up with this blue cuteness!

I love it! I love when we can step in to ‘real life’ and get a grip on reality vs. fantasy living. I have seen some other posts on babble that are just so over the top in regards to what a REAL toddlers room would look like. Thank you for keeping it real!

I loved this series! All the rooms are adorable…but that pennant banner in Harry’s room….I WANT IT!!! A how-to would be perfect :)
