During the holiday season our thoughts and feelings often drift back in time to our favorite memories of family gatherings, toys and sweets, or, if we are parents, the joy we’ve received over the years watching our children discover the delights of the season. Often those moments have been captured in photos, and all they lack is the perfect holiday-themed frame in which to display them. Rosenberry Rooms offers a variety of quality wood frames perfectly suited to exhibit that old black and white photograph featuring you and your siblings awestruck in front of the Christmas tree, or the full-color shot of your own little ones dressed in their holiday best, antsy with anticipation among the wrapped wonders that wait. When selecting the right frame, our Dash Holiday and Happy Holiday frames are a good place to begin. Traditionalists will love our weathered-wood frames, while fun-loving folks will opt for the Funky Holiday Stripe frame. Any of these can be customized at home with the addition of a festive bow and ribbon, or a personalized holiday ornament from Rosenberry Rooms draped over a corner.

Speaking of ornaments, they are not just for the tree any more. Today’s fashionable baubles are the perfect adornment for the wreath on the front door that welcomes guests, the garland adorning the banister, and the mantle where we place cards warmly received from family and friends. Personalized ornaments bearing the name of our children and featuring a Christmas tree, snow man, or other favorite images of the season, serve as wonderful gift labels that will find their place in the decorations for years and possibly generations to come. The ornament options at Rosenberry Rooms give you the opportunity to mark your little one’s first Christmas, including their name and year, in a variety of styles. Classic round globes, country-influenced wood squares, and other designs offer you the freedom to create the lasting memory you want to pass along and enjoy for years to come. Religious themes bring the significance of the season to mind, and whimsical scenes depict the festive feelings the holidays hold for each of us. Whatever your style, customs, or traditions, our ornaments may be tailored to express the way you celebrate the holidays. Choose a “Believe” star hanging ornament, a Blue Holly Snowman, an Angel Boy or Angel Girl personalized Christmas ornament, or a First Christmas Wagon personalized with your child’s name and the year. These are a few of the many frames and ornaments that will provide the personal touch that will be cherished each year, as you add to your collection of photographs and keepsake memories!

The best thing about being a parent shopping at Rosenberry Rooms for kid’s room storage items is having the chance to relive your own childhood. You just have to wonder how much fun you would have had with Rosenberry Room’s amazing decorated kid’s room storage products.

For one example that brought me a “wow” moment is the Art Activity Cart. As a budding artist in childhood I would have delighted over this piece of storage furniture. It has all the cubbies, drawers and divided areas a young artist needs for colored paper, tall rolls of paper, crayons, paints, markers and other creative essentials. This sturdy cart on heavy duty casters can be wheeled around the house. It is made from an attractive light colored Baltic birch plywood but is child friendly at just 34″W x 16″D x 30″H.

Rosenberry Rooms has an amazing assortment of specialty storage items designed for youngsters. Current favorites include toy boxes in many colorful and whimsical designs. Boys will have tons of fun with the Pirate treasure chest, Noah’s Art toy chest, or colorful Train toy box. Girls will enjoy feeling like a real princess with their Princess toy box in pink with deep purple seat cushion and heart shaped back cushion. All kids will enjoy showing their friends a unique bag style storage bin that is personalized just for them.

Combine storage chests for fun with decorative storage step stools. Rosenberry Rooms has many colorful styles of storage steps in addition to traditional white, wood and pastel finishes. Great little hideaway storage is always a treat for kids and especially when it is a KidKraft Fire Truck Step Stool or Bella Floral Step Stool by Charn & Company. Other fun and functional storage solutions for your child include under-bed storage drawers, desk and hutch combos, cork boards, kid’s laundry bags, and storage cubes.

BLU offers sturdy storage cubes that are very attractive in mocha or wheat. In contemporary classic styling this unit is sized just right for kids. It features alternating open spaces with cubbies that have slide out drawers. This furniture is durable heirloom quality suitable for nursery and kids rooms.

Speaking of kid’s room furniture, the Rosenberry Rooms Elite Expressions Platform Storage Bed by Lea Children’s Furniture is a high quality storage unit with six under-bed storage drawers and optional bookcase headboard. This is the type of heirloom quality furniture that will grow to adulthood with your child and still be in style and your child’s favorite piece. This storage bed is available in twin or full size.

We all feel better knowing that there is a special place for us where we belong. Adding a theme to your child’s room can help them identify a special place of their own. Fun themes are important because they make the difference between the place where your kid sleeps and the room that your child lives in. They can tie together a room’s different elements and give the space a unique feel that matches your child’s personality. There are a lot of popular kids room themes that you can use to decorate your child’s room, but it’s easiest to start simple and build from there. These examples may give you some ideas:

BEACH
With ocean blues and sandy browns, beach themes work well for boys’ rooms. Even little touches like the sail away drawer knobs can liven up a boy’s room without putting a dent in your budget. The fun part about the beach theme is that you can either go serious with lighthouses and whaling ships from New England, which goes well with accents like the Charting a Course Mural Banner, or you can get imaginative with a Caribbean flair, picking out decorations like a Treasure Map Rug.

FLOWERING MEADOW
Whether it’s a quaint English garden or a mountain meadow full of wildflowers, floral items and garden-inspired designs can add a breezy playfulness and sense of whimsy to a little girl’s room. A wide variety of accents and furniture can add a colorful dynamic, from cute Pink Flower Pot Wall Clocks to Strawberry Pink Flower Rugs. The floral theme also lends itself to other popular themes like fairy princesses and ballerinas, a great starting point for games of make-believe.

JUNGLE
The great thing about jungle-themed rooms is that they can work for either boys or girls. Start with a green base, which makes a good, gender-neutral color and then add either pink or blue accents. From there, you can add touches like an Animal Print Rug or some Giraffe Drawer Pulls. The jungle theme also lets you work in favorite animals like giraffes, tigers, or zebras, for the excitement and adventure of a jungle safari. You can even take the safari theme one step further with a Jungle Safari Quilt. It’s a fun way to travel to new continents and see new creatures while still being able to get home in time for dinner.

These themes don’t need much to be customized for your child’s interests or favorite cartoon characters. Is your son a huge fan of SpongeBob SquarePants? He’d be right at home in a beach-themed room. Does your daughter love Dora the Explorer? Then she’ll enjoy having adventures in the jungle. Each of these themes is a good base that you can build on to express your child’s unique personality.

These are just a few starting points. If your child wants to be an astronaut, you can start with an outer space theme, or you can work on a city theme for the child who craves bright lights and excitement. The important thing is to have fun making a space where your child can feel at home. Be sure to check out all of the options that Rosenberry Rooms offers you for themed decor for your little girl or boy!

Holidays are a magical time for children of all ages. From youngest to oldest, there is enjoyment in the hustle and bustle, the special trimmings, the decorations that only come out once every year, and also all the little odds and ends that usher in those special times of the year. Leave it to Rosenberry Rooms to carry amazing children’s holiday décor that can stoke the anticipation even further!

Start a tasty after school snack tradition with a Hanukkah plate or its Christmas counterpart.

Of course, if you are searching for a beloved piece of children’s holiday décor that is sure to become a treasured bit of the family’s holiday traditions themselves, there is nothing more special than a personalized – hand painted – Christmas photo ornament. Whether you keep a cherished photo of a young child in it or opt for updating the display photo on an annual basis, this ornament is sure to heighten growing kids’ anticipation for the holidays that are just ahead.

Children love the kind of holiday décor that is uniquely crafted with them in mind. Run of the mill decorations are fine for the overall look and feel of the home, but there is nothing that compares to seeing a child’s name incorporated in the décor. Plates, pillows and also wall hangings are exceptional means of achieving this feat. Moreover, intricate detail work makes this kind of décor stick out and assert itself, even if it is smaller than some of the mass manufactured pieces.

So, do not be surprised when the child’s eyes light up as the special ornament is taken out of the box or when the holiday plate makes an appearance on the table. There is that feeling of being special, of participating in the holidays more deeply, and – in many ways – actually now being part of the holiday itself. Is it not time you checked out some of the inimitable Rosenberry Rooms children’s holiday décor items? Who knows, you might just be picking out tomorrow’s heirloom today!
