Introduction:
The moment you cross the threshold of your home with a new baby,
life as you know it is forever transformed: Your emotional world
expands, you realize what you're capable of with little sleep, and
you find out just how much you have to learn. If its your first
child, this humbling experience is even more profound.
Your home and lifestyle go through a similar transition, as
you're forced to examine your surroundings through a child's eyes,
learning to baby proof as you go and swapping out an adults-only
lifestyle for one that accommodates the little one in your life. And
then there's the space factor, as mountains of baby gear suddenly
show up in your cozy home once meant for two.
That's where Babyspace Idea Book comes in. Its filled with ideas
to help make the transition a more comfortable one. There's no one
size fits all approach here, but rather an understanding of the
myriad challenges that new parents face, from creating a nursery to
sharing their bedroom with an infant.
Like children, Babyspace Idea Book doesn't stop at infancy. It
moves on to toddlers rooms, with an emphasis on long-term design for
parents living in today's overly busy world. The book also examines
play spaces, honoring this important element in a child's
development with cleverly designed rooms and hideaways that fully
embrace the kids who create magic there. And then there's the rest
of the house, where the focus is on making it a home for everyone,
children and adults alike.
This book also tackles organizational challenges throughout the
home, an important aspect of a pleasant and comfortable environment.
Again, there's no single solution presented here, but rather a
variety of ideas that anyone can incorporate into their existing
floor plan.
Use Babyspace Idea Book to help you navigate your new lifestyle,
inspire creative thought, develop long-term design strategies, and
problem-solve. More importantly, use it as a foundation for your own
unique style and a guide for bringing personal contributions to your
home.
