Around this ho-hum time of year, I admittedly get bitten by the redecorating bug. Be it new throw pillows for the couch, some fresh flowers on the kitchen table or a cheerful mat to wipe off those muddy boots…any small improvement helps slough off winter’s dullness and perk up our living space. And that includes the kids’ rooms. Of course, if you can’t afford to rack up any more post-holiday bills, it doesn’t mean you can’t invest in some room-enhancing extras. Just in time for Valentine’s Day comes WallCandy Arts Whoo Loves U, a charming decals sets of owls and hearts to make any kids’ bedroom go from boring to beautiful. Like the other WallCandy Arts collection, we love how easily these peel-and-stick decals instantly transform your surroundings. You can configure this smart design anyway you like, and if you have a change of heart (pun intended!), you can easily remove them for future decorating, be it February 14th or any day you want to make your kid smile.

In a Nutshell: Show some love this V-Day with a room decor kit that doubles as a crafting activity for the whole family.

If you haven’t figured it out already, The Talking Walnut is a big fan of Skip Hop, makers of durable kiddie products kid gear in eye-popping designs. So when we recently had a chance to see their new Alphabet Zoo Wall Decals in the flesh, we knew we wouldn’t be disappointed…and we were right. This adorable assortment of removable decals perks up any child’s room or nursery with a touch of whimsy. Whether you’re spelling out your little one’s name or introducing her to the ABCs, these stickers offer instant personality to even the closest of corners. If you’re working under tight conditions (city dwellers, you know who you are) or decorating on a shoestring (man, those cribs are costly!), this sweet set will work magic for your little one’s special space. And did we mention these decals are removable? Perfect for that bundle of joy who may someday turn into a precocious preschooler with her own ideas of decor (sigh)…Well, at least you can enjoy them while they’re young–and you still have a say!

In a Nutshell: Brighten up baby’s space with some entertaining art that’s also educational. And if she learns that “f” is for “fox” before she moves to a big-kid bed, we’ll take all the credit.
