| DECOR / ECOSALON HOME Sep 3, 2008 at 5:00 am by Luanne Bradley Into the Woods That's right, Junior, Bambi had lots of helpful woodland friends like a bunny named Thumper and a skunk named Flower and the mean old hunters....Oh, dear, you don't need to hear that part. All you need to know is that forest creatures look terribly sweet inhabiting your darling nursery. Mommy doesn't need to hear about toxic chemicals in the nursery, either. Printed in 50s shades of buttercup, orange, brown and green, the 100% organic cotton and hemp Nursery collection with low impact dyes is from the modern home source, Amenity Home. The nursery bedding includes sheets, blankets, pillows and wall art. It will charm the Pampers off your little ones (who under age five doesn't coo for birds, turtles and bunnies?) and take you back to your own childhood. Sweet (eco) dreams. Related Posts ↓ |
