When I had my son, I wanted to make our home safe and comfortable for him — no sharp corners or glass tables — but I also wanted to keep it looking good for the adults too. My favorite things to look for were great-looking kids’ furniture, savvy storage and fun decor items. And I’m still always searching for new things. Here is a collection of a few kid-friendly products that also look good. — Kim from NewlyWoodwards
